Security Masterplanning

With vast numbers of people moving through them everyday, it is essential that airports are as safe and secure as possible. Buro Happold’s experts are able to work with clients to identify potential threats and develop a security strategy in order to provide comprehensive solutions that are integrated into the building design. We draw on our extensive experience to identify the most appropriate options, helping to ensure that airport building remain a secure environment while maintaining the comfort of the passengers.

Integrated Risk Management

All airports are at risk from many threats of crime, from protests to terrorism. Threats might come from internal sources as well as external sources, and may be accidental or malicious, man-made or natural. Buro Happold’s risk management team analyses the current security and operational arrangements to identify areas of vulnerability and the potential consequences.

Security Engineering

Buro Happold assesses the operational requirements for all security systems, particularly ensuing that they are in line with current policies and procedures. Utilising our experience of working across a variety of airport projects, our engineers will design an integrated security strategy, providing detailed specifications and cost analysis. Our team will then oversee the installation process, insuring that the end result is of the highest possible quality.

Security Management

Security systems need to be integrated into the airport design, working in harmony with operational processes while maintaining a comfortable environment for passengers. After developing the security strategy, Buro Happold’s consultants are able to provide post-occupancy support and advice for effective implementation and future management of the plan. By measuring how our systems will perform long term, as well as assessing future needs, we are able to increase efficiency and add value, reducing the whole life cost of the project.
