Company Profile

  A-Safe saves Gatwick’s maintenance costs from flying through the roof

  A-Safe has installed all the protection for building and equipment in Gatwick’s North and South baggage handling halls.

  Gatwick previously had huge problems with floor damage around steel barriers.  Drive a luggage tug truck into rigid steel and the force will head straight to the floor anchor points, often damaging the concrete, fixings and barrier itself.  A-Safe will direct an impact force away from the floor and deflect or spread it throughout the Atlas system.

  Previously, Gatwick was spending between c. £100-150k on maintenance cost for the then existing steel barrier protection, particularly on floor damage, replacement parts and airport tug vehicle damage.

  In the two years since replacing the steel with A-Safe at a capital outlay of c. £100k Gatwick has spent approximately only £3000 on maintenance and repairs!

  A-Safe’s new Atlas Plus Barrier used at Heathrow T3.

  A-Safe has developed the brand new Atlas Plus Barrier for equipment protection and people segregation in the Western Interface Project for Terminal 3 Baggage Hall.

  A-Safe provided full advice and consultation in this turnkey project for the hall protection, working closely with the airport architects.

  Future work, including the new Terminal 3 build, has A-Safe being specified by the consulting architects.

  A-Safe ignites interest from Frankfurt Airport on fire-safe barriers

  Frankfurt had a pressing need to properly protect a fuel station on the apron.  The A-Safe answer was to provide a polymer barrier with its renowned strength and durability with an appropriate change in its components to provide a high ignition point in excess of over 400o C to meet stringent standards.
