THHN Wire for El Salvador Airport Project

Background of the El Salvador International Airport Expansion

As a major transportation hub in Central America, El Salvador International Airport (AIES) has recently launched a large-scale expansion and modernization project. This project aims to enhance the airport's capacity, safety, and operational efficiency to meet the growing demands of international travel and logistics.

Expansion priorities include:

1. New Terminal (2022-2025): Construction of a modern passenger terminal equipped with energy-efficient systems, intelligent control facilities, and upgraded power infrastructure.

2. Runway and Lighting Upgrades: Upgrading the power systems for runway lighting, radar, and control towers to ensure flight safety.

3. Airport Communication and Data System Upgrades: Establishing a reliable power distribution network to support digital operations and communication systems.

4. Sustainability and Efficiency Goals: Utilizing durable and certified electrical materials to reduce maintenance costs and ensure long-term operational safety.

Geritel Wire Providing UL Certificated THHN Copper Wire

During the airport's power system upgrade, the project contractor contacted Geritel Wire through their official website to seek reliable, UL-certified THHN copper wire suppliers.

As this was a national infrastructure project with extremely stringent quality and safety requirements, the El Salvador airport project team set the following standards for cable suppliers:

• UL Certification: All wires must meet UL standards to ensure electrical safety and compliance with international standards.
