[DE] King Abdulaziz Airport Speed Calming

[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

1. [DE] To substantially reduce vehicle speeds in key areas around King Abdulaziz International Airport, ensuring safety for both pedestrians and drivers
2. [DE] To implement a traffic calming solution with minimal disruption to airport operations
3. [DE] To custom-fit the Speed Calmers to the specific dimensions and demands of the airport"s road system without compromising the existing infrastructure
4. [DE] To provide a durable traffic calming solution that requires minimal maintenance, ensuring long-lasting performance and cost-effectiveness over time

[DE] Our Solution

1. [DE] Speed Calmers were chosen for their proven effectiveness and suitability for high-traffic areas like airports
2. [DE] Speed Calmers were tailored to fit specific road widths at the airport, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing road infrastructure
3. [DE] Leveraging the pre-fabricated, modular design of the Speed Calmers, the installation team was able to install the solution quickly, significantly reducing downtime
4. [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
