I) AIRPORT PERIMETER FENCING
Airports and aviation buildings are sensitive areas that require perimeter fencing solutions that stand up to the high risk levels. There are also demands from a legislative and legal aspects that are often unique to aviation based environments.
Most airport fencing projects will demand a solution that integrates with the wider security measures already in operation such as CCTV, intruder alerts systems and access control. It is for these reasons that a consultative approach is required to assess all of the security considerations before an appropriate fencing solution can be identified.
At PDP our specialist Aviation Consultants follow a proven process on all projects including airport perimeter fencing or aviation fencing requirements.
ii) AIRPORT ACCESS CONTROL
Airports and aviation buildings are some of the most controlled public environments that can be found. Whether it is your employees, suppliers or passengers that need to access your operations areas in a controlled manner, PDP can assist in ensuring that you have the appropriate control system.
No two sites or scenarios are exactly the same so there is rarely a standard fit when it comes to looking at an airport access control system. It is for this reason that PDP takes a consultative approach to assess your core security considerations before putting forward appropriate solutions.
Our specialist Aviation Consultants have many years in the industry and have overseen major airport access control projects.

iii) AIRPORT CCTV SYSTEMS
The importance of surveillance to airport security and aviation operations cannot be understated. A project to install or upgrade a CCTV system in an airport environment is as much about risk assessment and control as it is about robust integration with existing IT networks and other security elements.
An effective airport CCTV system will have an meticulously planned camera network and a well designed integrated monitoring system with suitable access and storage capacity. Video analytics is becoming more important in order to allow operators to be alerted automatically if incidents arise as is the need for instant access, live playback and network sharing of surveillance footage.
PDP’s team of Aviation Security Consultants can assist in part or take on a complete airport CCTV project. With hands on experience of scoping, procurement and installation we can work with your internal ICT teams and external integrators to provide cutting edge CCTV and security monitoring solutions. We also have a keen understanding of the Data Protection legislation and its impact on the monitoring of aviation operations.
iv) AUDIT & COMPLIANCE CONSULTANCY
Aviation Compliance Consultancy Service
The importance of surveillance to airport security and aviation operations cannot be understated. A project to install or upgrade a CCTV system in an airport environment is as much about risk assessment and control as it is about robust integration with existing IT networks and other security elements.
The end result is an informative audit report that will include recommendations relating to EU300 & SCD Legislation and directions to ensure your operation is fully compliant with current regulation and aviation security program best practice. From that point our consultants can work with your team to implement the recommendations or to create future auditing and reporting programs.
Aviation Security Program Strategy
PDP retains a number of highly experienced Aviation Security Consultants who provide specialist security services to UK airports, airport management, airlines and private aviation companies in accordance with CAA / DFT guidelines.
Not all organizations within the aviation industry employ full time security auditing staff, some organizations prefer to bring in specialist consultants when looking at legislation and compliance. This is where PDP can assist by supplying experts to provide services as and when required.
v) AIRPORT ACCESS CONTROL
Air / Land Side Access
Our Exit Lane Breach Control (ELBC) system enables airport operators to maximize the flow of travelers through their terminals while maintaining high safety standards. The one-way exit corridor guides the flow of arriving passengers to the secure side of the airport without the need for manned security personnel. Additionally, We have an Automated Boarding Pass Control system that supports staff checking boarding passes prior to passengers entering the security screening checkpoint. This system confirms that the passenger is scheduled for the flight designated on the boarding pass.
Boarding Area
Designed to support airline staff,our Self-Boarding Gates (SBG) help expedite the boarding process, ensure passengers board the correct aircraft, and allow airline staff to manage special needs or requirements. The system permits only verified and authorized passengers to embark the aircraft.
Customs Control Area
Our Automated Customs Control system provides airports an alternative solution for passport validation. The system is capable of accurately detecting an invalid or forged passport.
Admin Facilities
Staff entrances and exits located between public and secure areas do not generally receive constant manual surveillance and therefore require a means of access control. Our electronic locks deliver a variety of features and functions and are available as standalone or part of a wireless networked system. We also offers an Embedded Access Control solution with I.AM biometric fingerprint reader that provides authenticated access control without the need for software or servers.
