Airport Fencing and Its Importance

Rongtai Product Page

Airports are international transportation hubs and are always high-risk areas. Airport fences are chain link fences that are installed at airports to prevent different types of crimes such as terrorism and vandalism.
Airport fences can be installed not only in airports but also in important areas such as industrial buildings, warehouses, or police stations.

Benefits of airport fencing

1. Anti-climbing
2. Cut-proof
3. Low maintenance

Importance of Airport Fencing

Good airport fencing is the first line of defense against security risks, so failure to install compliant and durable fencing can lead to additional security vulnerabilities. Airport security breaches can not only lead to aircraft delays and disruptions but can also pose security risks to staff, passengers and visitors. 

Airport fencing is a critical element of airports, ensuring the safety of the public and the airport itself. And with airport security breaches increasing every year, the right fencing can provide more useful benefits than one can imagine.

In short, airport perimeter fencing not only outlines boundaries, but the right airport fence plays an important role in ensuring the safety of people.

Similarly to the TSA we recommend a combination of security products is used at different areas of the site, depending on the requirements following the Onion Principle which we call the 5 Ds of perimeter security. The 5 Ds of perimeter security (Deter, Detect, Deny, Delay, Defend) follows the &#;onion skin&#; methodology, whereby multiple layers of security work in combination to prevent access to a site&#;s assets, allowing airport security the time and intelligence to respond effectively.

Welded Security Mesh fencing: Welded mesh panels offer visibility, and their narrow, close-together wires mean they are extremely difficult to climb. The mesh is also strong enough to withstand forceful attacks. Some of the more commonly used rigid mesh systems used include Securi-Mesh® Plus which has a close mesh design, with posts that can be customised for security toppings, and EuroGuard® Extra which features posts that can be adapted to mount security cameras and lights.

GRP and Frangible Fencing: Glass Reinforced Plastic is a popular composite material due to its strength and appearance, which is reminiscent of steel. It has Radio and ILS transparency amongst a host of other benefits, so it&#;s ideal for airport security as it doesn&#;t block signals. We make GRP fencing in Sentry®, Barbican® Imperial, and Mesh styles with matching gates.

LPS Security Rated Fencing: Jacksons was one of the first fencing manufacturers to have products developed and tested to LPS and remains the only fencing and gate manufacturer able to offer certified products from LPS A1 (SR1) through to E10 (SR5) (the highest security rating for a fence available).

B3 (SR2) Fencing Systems: Securi-Mesh® Plus B3 is ideal for a variety of higher perimeter security solutions, Securi-Mesh Plus B3 features a double layer of &#;358&#; mesh and small apertures, making it impossible to gain hold and stopping objects from being passed through.

C5 (SR3) Fencing Systems: Acoustic barriers are particularly apt for airports as they can reduce the level of noise from within. Jakoustic® Class 3 is designed to look like a timber fence, but without rails it is virtually impossible to scale, and the optional addition of the Rota Spike® fence topper is a further deterrent. This is recommended around car parks, as noise from jets can set off car alarms.

UHS Heavy Mesh SR3 and UHS Extreme Mesh SR3: Suitable for airport protection as they have an anti-climb design and have been constructed to withstand the use of even battery powered tools.

Bollards: In conjunction with raised curbs, bollards are an additional security measure that can further protect people by creating defined areas for pedestrians, and defend against vehicular attack. You can choose from static or automated bollards, and PAS 68 Crash Rated Bollards are also an option, designed to completely halt the progress of a hostile vehicle without a major detrimental impact on building aesthetics or making customers feel uncomfortable.

Security toppings: Jacksons manufacture a wide range of fence spikes and toppings designed for use on our fencing and gates. You can select from spikes, barbed wire and security combs to add protection and also assist as a deterrent.

Access control systems: It&#;s important to make sure gates match the type of fencing chosen to ensure there are no weak points. It also makes installation and maintenance simpler. We manufacture gates to match each style. Consider whether your gates will be manual or automated, and what type of gates are suitable for different access points, such as arm barriers for car parks, sliding gates for delivery areas and , bi-folding speed gates for sensitive areas of the site. In addition to this our gates and access control provide convenience, for example compatibility with ANPR technology.
