Gatwick Airport benefits from a
bespoke design of safety barrier from
A-safe. The company's hexagonal
Atlas barrier has been designed to
replace steel structures which
Gatwick was previously using for
mast protection. It will be rolled out
across the apron to provide effective
protection to all masts and columns.
A-Safe's range of barriers is sufficiently flexible to withstand impacts, exceeding the BAA standard 6-9 times. If hit by a vehicle, the barrier springs back into shape without bending or buckling. The polymer that is used in producing the barriers has high level absorption properties that ensure the airport benefits from long term, low cost maintenance and repair.
