Bespoke safety barriers

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 that Gatwick was previously using for mast protection. It will be rolled out across the apron to provide effective protection to all mast 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 bend that is used in producing the barriers with its high level absorption properties ensures the airport benefits from long term, low cost maintenance and repair.
