The recent incident at Portsmouth International Airport began outside the airfield. A vehicle fleeing police crossed the airport perimeter, broke through the fence, and continued onto the aircraft parking apron before hitting a tractor and a parked aircraft.
That is where airport perimeter security fencing needs to be planned around the actual site.
A simple site-based solution can divide the perimeter into several applications:
1. Roadside sections: These areas may require a rigid welded mesh structure with stronger posts because vehicles can approach the boundary directly.
2. Aircraft and restricted areas: High-security welded mesh fencing with smaller openings can provide a more secure physical boundary while maintaining visibility for inspection and surveillance.
3. Service and maintenance areas: These sections often need secure vehicle gates alongside the perimeter fence, allowing authorized traffic to enter without creating unnecessary openings.
4. Long-distance boundaries: Galvanized or coated fencing can be selected for long-term outdoor use, while panel dimensions and post spacing can be adjusted to suit the project.
The important point is that these configurations can form one coordinated airport fence system, even when individual sections have different requirements.
One Fence System, Configured for the Site
We can supply airport perimeter fencing with customized panel dimensions, mesh openings, wire diameters, posts, surface treatments, and gates.
For an existing airport, we can also develop replacement or extension sections that match the current perimeter.
This gives airport operators a practical way to strengthen specific areas without redesigning every part of the boundary.
That flexibility makes it easier to build a perimeter that fits the airport rather than forcing the airport to fit a standard fence.
