Avalon Airport

Avalon Airport necessitated a guardrail system designed to support its traffic management plan, which aims to segregate pedestrian pathways from vehicular traffic within its newly established freight processing facility. This facility is anticipated to handle an annual volume of 100,000 tonnes of freight; thus, the guardrail system must be sufficiently resilient to endure the specific environmental conditions present in both the entrance, depot, and ambient rooms of the facility.

Before the installation process commenced at Avalon Airport, an on-site assessment was conducted to ascertain the specific safety requirements. This initial site assessment plays a critical role in the project, as it enables us, in conjunction with the client, to identify the necessary safety specifications while considering any required alterations and modifications.

Key Products Implemented:

• W-Beam Guardrail:

  The Heavy-Duty W-Beam Guardrail is meticulously designed to enhance asset protection and ensure pedestrian safety. This adaptable system is specifically intended for industrial facilities, parking areas, and non-highway environments; providing essential asset protection for Avalon Airport while safeguarding pedestrians from slow-moving vehicles in the vicinity of the new cargo processing facility.

  
  
• Heavy-Duty Round Bollards:

  The Heavy-Duty Surface Mounted Bollards provide exceptional asset protection by preventing unauthorised vehicle access to the cargo facility's coolroom, as well as safeguarding the vehicle entrances outside the hangar. With a diameter of 165 mm and constructed from durable steel, these bollards are specifically engineered to withstand contact with vehicles in proximity.

  
  
• Ball-Fence Industrial Swing Gate:

  The Ball-Fence Swing Gates will facilitate entry and exit for pedestrians, ensuring safe access points. Commonly utilised in pedestrian walkways, warehouses, car parks, and other restricted areas, these gates can be customised to size based on specific application requirements.

Given the extensive ongoing works at the site being completed in stages, the project was broken up into stages.

To address this consideration, the installation schedule had to be flexible to allow for any ad-hoc adjustments. We collaborated closely with Avalon Airport to implement a staged approach to the installation schedule; prioritising the interior and exterior works of the coolroom within the cargo processing facility first and scheduling the exterior work at a later date when the concrete had been laid.
