Townscape Products Help to Protect Cardiff Airport
Townscape Products Limited, a leading UK-based street furniture manufacturer, has completed a major contract with Cardiff Airport to supply a high quality vehicle defence system as part of the airport’s recent redevelopment programme.
A line of Townscape’s CT Blocks (Counter Terrorist) has been installed at the airport perimeter between the Passenger Terminal and the car park to prevent unwanted vehicle incursion. Produced at its Nottingham facility from a unique reconstituted stone mix using selected aggregates, each block weighs 2.2 tonnes and has been manufactured and tested to the PAS 68 standard. Quartz-rich Cornish fines were added to the mix to provide a high quality finish to the exposed stone.
Cardiff’s growing prosperity, including the arrival of the Ryder cup competition at the Celtic Manor, faster access to the City of Cardiff and increased traffic, has meant an increase in the strategic importance of the airport to the city and to the local economy. The major refurbishment at the airport, needed to accommodate the increase in passenger traffic, needed to include increased security measures.
This particularly cost-effective and highly efficient vehicle defence system is quick and easy to install with the minimum of disruption. The system has been installed at a variety of UK locations including other airports and transport hubs, heritage sites, MOD facilities, police stations and other public buildings.
