When Airport Fences Face Traffic: Choosing Airport Perimeter Security Fencing
A vehicle being pursued by police recently broke through the perimeter fence at Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire. After entering the airport, it crossed the aircraft parking apron and struck a Kubota tractor and a parked aircraft, according to New Hampshire State Police.
The Problem: A Fence Close to Vehicle Traffic
A standard perimeter fence may be suitable for many parts of an airport, but sections beside roads, parking areas, or service routes deserve closer attention. These are locations where an out-of-control or unauthorized vehicle can reach the boundary with little distance between the road and the fence.
For these sections, the fencing system needs to be selected as a complete structure rather than focusing only on the mesh panel.
The Solution: A Stronger Airport Perimeter Security Fencing System
For vehicle-exposed areas, we recommend a rigid welded mesh airport fence with appropriately selected panels and supporting posts.
The basic configuration can include:
1.Welded mesh panels: Rigid panels create a stable and continuous physical boundary and can be customized in height, mesh opening, and wire diameter according to the project.
2.Stronger posts and connections: Panels need suitable supporting posts and secure connections so the complete fence works as one structure.
3.Controlled vehicle gates: If an airport service road passes through the perimeter, the gate should be designed to match the security requirements of the surrounding fence.
We Build the Fence Around Your Site
Every airport has different road layouts, boundary distances, access requirements, and existing fencing. We can therefore customize the airport perimeter security fencing according to the actual project, including panel dimensions, mesh specifications, posts, surface treatment, and vehicle or pedestrian gates.
For an existing airport, we can also supply individual fence sections for perimeter upgrades or replacement instead of requiring a complete new installation.
