ATG Access solutions set for major airport

ATG Access has landed a major security project with Singapore’s Changi Airport.

The new Jewel complex at Singapore’s Changi Airport, designed to be a mixed-use, lifestyle hub for visitors, is set to receive the perimeter protection solutions of ATG Access to ensure greater levels of security.

Taking more than four years and $1.25 billion to build, Jewel covers 1.46 million square feet and includes sky gardens, the world’s largest indoor waterfall, aviation lounges, restaurants and over 300 shops.

As the main airport site is fully operational 24/7; the security measures placed around the terminal needed to be installed quickly and effectively. With this in mind, ATG Access utilised its shallow mount technology, which is designed to deliver maximum security with minimum disruption.

More than 1,000 impact-tested Shallow Mount Bollards and Shallow Mount Lift-out Bollards, requiring a foundation depth of just 112 mm, were deployed around the airport. The products were coated in varying shades of silver to suit the aesthetic of the surrounding area.

In order to meet client specification, ATG worked with its local partner in Singapore to test and certify the lift-out product, meaning it was one of the first impact tested lift-out bollards in the industry.

Gavin Hepburn, Managing Director at ATG Access, said: “With over 66 million passengers travelling through the airport each year; the new and iconic Jewel project required outstanding perimeter security measures to protect the asset and its passengers.

“Changi airport has taken its security very seriously over the last eight years, ensuring all terminals are protected from potential terrorist attacks or security breaches – after airports have been identified by security services as critical national infrastructure.

“This project has been our third biggest perimeter project to date, after Hamad International Airport Project (Doha) and Jubail Industrial Project, KSA, and we are proud to have been selected as their security provider.”
