Choosing the right temporary reusable construction walls for airport renovations is important—not only for project management but also for airport disruption.
Let’s take a close look at how airport construction management teams can use temporary wall systems—especially those from SwiftWall®—to improve productivity of their construction.
Overcoming Airport Construction Challenges
To start, here’s a quick look at the typical challenges that airport construction teams have to deal with—and how temporary walls can help:
Minimize Disruptions
Airports need to remain operational even during extensive renovations, which requires solutions that minimize downtime and keep disruptions to a minimum.
Temporary wall systems are quick to install and remove, allowing construction teams to create fast transitions between construction phases without significant impact on airport activities.
Maintain Positive Experiences
The fact is: construction should not derail travelers from having a comfort and convenient experience in airports.
Temporary walls can be both functional and aesthetically-pleasing to help ensure that the traveler’s experience remains undisturbed. Features like customizable graphics for signage and wayfinding can also improve navigation and communication within the airport.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Airport construction projects must comply with safety and environmental regulations, and temporary wall systems are designed to meet these standards and ensure projects are not only safe but also environmentally responsible.
Products like those offered by SwiftWall®, for example, are engineered to be sustainable and meet various regulatory demands.
Benefits of Temporary Wall Systems in Airport Construction
However, there are some of other benefits that temporary construction walls bring airports, including:
Dust and Debris Containment
Temporary walls effectively contain dust and debris, which creates a cleaner and safer environment. Travelers and airport staff can operate without being compromised by construction-related pollution.
Reducing Construction Noise
Noise from construction is another factor that is impacted by temporary walls, which are designed to reduce noise. In fact, the igh-quality systems from Swiftwall® can decrease noise by up to 50%.
Enhancing Safety and Security
Temporary walls play a vital role in enhancing safety and security during construction. They prevent unauthorized access to construction areas and protect sensitive equipment and information. Secure temporary walls can include features like door locks and surveillance integration, ensuring robust protection against potential threats.
With these benefits in mind, understanding the specific challenges posed by airport renovations is essential for selecting the most suitable temporary wall systems.
Alternative Temporary Wall System UsesIn Airport Construction
Temporary wall systems are highly adaptable to meet the specific needs of different construction projects, but they also present several interesting opportunities for the airport itself.
They can be customized with various finishes and graphics for a few alternative uses:
1. Signage Applications
Temporary walls can feature various signage options—from simple directional signs to digital displays—that help guide travelers through construction areas and airport terminals. One of the best uses is displaying large-format vinyl graphics to provide clear directions to gates and baggage claim spaces.
2. Advertising and Communication
Temporary walls serve as a great platform and marketing space for airport business and local attractions.
Large banners and window vinyls can be used to showcase nearby hotels, restaurants, and events, which not only improves the traveler experience but also creates additional revenue through advertising.
