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.
