[DE] Project Overview
[DE] High vehicle speeds posed a significant safety risk at airport access points. Traditional concrete speed calming solutions were not feasible due to prolonged installation times and disruption. A solution was required that could be quickly implemented and easily removed if necessary.
[DE] The Challenge
- [DE] High vehicle speeds posed a significant safety risk at airport access points
- [DE] Traditional concrete speed calming solutions were not feasible due to prolonged installation times and disruption
- [DE] A solution was required that could be quickly implemented and easily removed if necessary
[DE] The challenge: high vehicle speeds at airport access points creating safety risks
[DE] Project Objectives
- [DE] To substantially reduce vehicle speeds in key areas around King Abdulaziz International Airport, ensuring safety for both pedestrians and drivers
- [DE] To implement a traffic calming solution with minimal disruption to airport operations
- [DE] To custom-fit the Speed Calmers to the specific dimensions and demands of the airport"s road system without compromising the existing infrastructure
- [DE] To provide a durable traffic calming solution that requires minimal maintenance, ensuring long-lasting performance and cost-effectiveness over time
[DE] Our Solution
- [DE] Speed Calmers were chosen for their proven effectiveness and suitability for high-traffic areas like airports
- [DE] Speed Calmers were tailored to fit specific road widths at the airport, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing road infrastructure
- [DE] Leveraging the pre-fabricated, modular design of the Speed Calmers, the installation team was able to install the solution quickly, significantly reducing downtime
- [DE] The modular nature of the Speed Calmers allows for easy adjustments, relocations, or removals if airport layouts or traffic flow patterns change in the future
