Airports - Improving the Passenger Experience.
Some areas of an airport have to be more protected than others. High security doors and portals can help to control unauthorised access to these areas on the airside (such as employee-only sections). Boon Edam’s product can easily integrate with an array of access control devices to ensure not only access control but also elevate security breaches such as piggybacking and tailgating.
On the landside of an airport, the entrance requirements are somewhat different where, for example, lounges can be kept secure using security speed gates and take the pressure of security personnel. Another consideration is to ‘Level Up’ on your security features, when fine-tuning your entrance solution, include features such as blast-resistant glass or reinforced frames in the event of an attack. The key to successful airport security is a layered approach, and sophisticated technology within both doors and security lanes is fundamental to an effective overall solution.
High Capacity Solutions
All airports have a secure and none-secure side, also known respectively as airside and landside. Revolving doors situated landside should have the flexibility to address the many challenges that airports face regarding peaks and lows of traffic. High-capacity doors allow for comfortable throughput in and out of the main terminal while still making allowance for comfortable movement with trollies, suitcases and pushchairs. There are an array of multi-purpose and versatile revolving doors with some even being manufactured to transform into a standard sliding door set. This configuration enables users to walk through at a faster pace - helping to alleviate frustrating and potentially costly congestion.
Climate Control
Maintaining a comfortable temperature in the airport is not only important to the comfort and user-experience of your visitors, but it is also a critical consideration when it comes to sustainability. Revolving doors function of the concept of ‘always closed, always open’ which ensures that outside temperatures (very hot or very cold) should not influence the interior temperature. Airports cater for a broad spectrum of the general public and mid-zone areas where activities such as smoking also need to be sectioned off to avoid contamination with the general public spaces.

Air Curtains - for Sustainable Climate Control
High-rise buildings were one of the first to utilise revolving doors due to the immense pressure caused by air rushing through the building. The air pressure resulted in difficulties for the users with opening swing doors. Revolving doors were designed to control indoor temperatures and to relieve stack effect pressure. However, there are certain areas of a building which require extra help - through air curtains - for the movement of air to prevent temperature changes within the building. Read more about making your entrance more comfortable.
Not All Security is Equal
Boon Edam Offers Scalable Security Levels
When it comes to physical security entrances, there are some different options available to choose from – high security portals, security revolving doors, speed gates, full-height and tripod turnstiles. These options vary greatly in their capabilities and can confuse security managers looking to secure their facilities from risk. To assist professionals in selecting the right entrance solution, we have categorised security entrances by their level of security, as it relates to tailgating mitigation. Is the goal: tailgating deterrence (low security level), detection (medium security level) or complete prevention (high security level).
