As part of numerous mission critical defense projects with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Acrefine played a key role in the design and product supply of the Helicopter Apron and Strategic Airlift Apron in Afghanistan. These high-security areas are spanning over 200,000 square meters. They are supporting both rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft under extreme environmental and operational conditions.
Acrefine products were the first choice due to our demonstrated expertise in delivering seismic restraint and vibration isolation systems for mission-critical military infrastructure. This installation is one of many successful global deployments completed in partnership with the US Army Corps. Across both active bases and logistics hubs.
Engineering Scope
Designing for defense infrastructure demands uncompromising precision, especially in volatile environments where operational failure is not an option. In support of the US Army Corps of Engineers’ strategic aviation facilities, Acrefine delivered a robust suite of seismic and vibration control solutions engineered to maintain operational continuity under extreme stress.
Our scope extended beyond basic compliance; it was a mission-driven approach to safeguard structural integrity and functionality across 200,000 square meters of critical flight operation zones. Each system was calibrated to meet stringent military standards while offering reliability for long-term deployment in remote, high-stakes environments.
To ensure long-term operational reliability, our team supplied:
-
Seismic isolators to restrict multi-directional movement during seismic events
-
Snubbers designed to absorb impact and reduce structural stress
-
Seismic bracing for HVAC, MEP, and electrical setups essential to base continuity
Each component meet rigorous military specifications. Also, on-site collaboration from local contractors and engineers was the key to success.
Key Features
In mission-critical installations, every component must contribute to resilience, safety, and performance. Acrefine’s solutions integrate seamlessly into defense-grade infrastructure, delivering multi-layered protection against seismic shocks, environmental degradation, and mechanical fatigue.
Our product specifications go beyond standard industrial needs — they’re engineered to outperform in hostile settings. From desert-proof coatings to pre-configured directional controls, every feature is optimized for tactical readiness, minimizing downtime and maximizing structural endurance under stress scenarios common in military logistics operations.

-
Pre-engineered load ratings and directional control per unit
-
Battle-tested in mission-critical military installations
Tailored for Mission-Critical Applications
Military infrastructure presents one of the harshest proving grounds for engineering systems — where vibration, thermal variability, and continuous operation converge. Acrefine’s restraint systems are specifically designed for these challenges, ensuring performance continuity in settings where failure is not an option.
Whether stabilizing a mobile power unit or securing HVAC assemblies in engine bays, our products provide the precision and durability necessary to support defense missions. With decades of field-proven reliability, we ensure that critical infrastructure stays functional, secure, and efficient under operational extremes.
Acrefine’s systems are trusted in:
-
Power and utility modules at remote airfields
-
Engine, generator, and HVAC configurations
-
Sensitive mechanical zones with high-vibration equipment
-
Military-grade applications needing tight operational stability
Our restraint systems continue to deliver performance in extreme conditions—including rapid temperature shifts, frequent startups, and high-frequency activity. These capabilities make them ideal for mission-critical defense operations.
With a proven track record and global experience, Acrefine remains a reliable partner for mission-critical infrastructure. Our solutions are built not only to perform but also to prolong equipment life and minimize maintenance—delivering engineered confidence where it matters most.
