ASIAD has been instigated by the Department for Transport in UK so as to incorporate into design development of airports, a blast resistance to counter the threat of terrorism. Components such as heat strengthened laminated glass, is used for windows, security barriers and the terminal facade.

Designs that are employed in ASIAD

  • Bespoke structural bonding of frame to glass.
  • Increasing the strength components for track and door running systems.
  • Maintaining flexibility and ductility of door frame components.
  • Restriction of projectile components when high forces of an explosive event occur.
  • Increasing robustness of the drive motors, running gear and operating systems
  • Incorporating various combinations of multi-laminated glass at varying thicknesses and with anti-shard glass properties.
  • In-built sensors for reaction on forced opening, etc
  • Blast resistant anti-jump runner systems.
  • Toughened sensor controls
  • Post blast retained structural barrier to restrain physical attack, unauthorized or forced entry or escape.
