Frequently asked questions
Airports & Infrastructure — FAQs
Why are automatic sliding entrances common in airports?
Automatic sliding entrances provide controlled pedestrian movement without requiring a door swing into the circulation zone. The exact configuration depends on opening dimensions, traffic, accessibility and escape-route requirements.
Can access-controlled systems be used in airport infrastructure?
Yes. Physical access systems can be used for controlled staff and restricted areas, with the entrance hardware selected according to the security and circulation requirements of the project.
What architectural systems can be coordinated with airport entrances?
Depending on the project, entrance automation may be combined with physical access systems, fire door systems, handrails, balustrades and other architectural hardware.
