The Project
Gatwick Airport required a bespoke, fully integrated security solution built to withstand the exceptional volumes of footfall passing through one of the UK's busiest passenger terminals. Standard products could not meet the endurance and integration requirements of the specification, and the project required entirely off-peak installation scheduling to avoid disruption to live airport operations.
The solution incorporated automated doors, full-height glass walling, and stainless steel architectural support posts, all designed and manufactured to integrate precisely with the transport operators' existing systems. Every component was specified from the ground up for long-term durability and precise operational control.
The Solution
Gatwick Airport required a bespoke security solution with appropriate endurance level to cope with very high volume of usage.

The Result
Electro Automation designed, manufactured, and rapidly installed a fully integrated security system at Gatwick Airport, working exclusively during off-peak periods to protect the airport's operational continuity. The completed system incorporates automated doors, full-height glass walling, and stainless steel architectural posts in a configuration that integrates directly with the transport operators' control infrastructure, providing precise, coordinated access management across the installation zone.
The specification was designed for endurance from the outset, with materials and components selected specifically to handle the considerable footfall of a major international airport terminal over the long term. The solution demonstrates the capability to deliver architecturally integrated, high-performance security systems within the operational and programme constraints of live critical infrastructure environments.
A high-endurance, bespoke security installation integrated into a live airport environment.
Gatwick Airport operates a bespoke, architecturally integrated security system specified for endurance and installed without disruption to one of the world's busiest passenger terminals.
