Whether traveling locally or internationally, airport passengers deserve nothing less than the most pleasant, safe, and welcoming experience possible, and that can only happen when the airports have the best security fences. With that in mind, we, Big Jerry’s Fencing, are here today to talk about the best types of security fences best suited for airports.
What Security Features Should an Airport Fence Have?
Fences are the protective barrier and the first line of defense against any form of intrusive behavior from people with ill intent. Sure, fences can be fancy, too, but their primary goal should always be to keep people inside safe and the ones outside away. This goes double for airports, as they’re a preferred target of many terror groups or vandals. So then, what specific parameters should an airport security fence have? Let’s find out:
1) Infrared Sensor Integration
A huge feature that’s almost a necessity these days for airport security fences is infrared sensor integration. This feature is essentially a guarantee that nothing will get past the fence unnoticed and will alert the on-site and on-patrol security team to jump in and thwart any attempts at a breach at the airport.
2) Barbed Wire and Other Fence Toppings
Either barbed wire, spikes, or some form of other fence toppings should be a must for all fences surrounding airports. These are the deterrents to stop intruders from climbing or vaulting over the fence’s height. The barbed wire or spikes in particular, are great for creating a secure perimeter for passengers.
3) Electrical Fence System
Electrical fence systems are quite popular for keeping stubborn types away, whether they’re animals or hooligans. The jolt from making unauthorized contact with the fence will serve as the perfect reminder for anyone attempting to cross over to not do it.
