Delivery

ACS adopted an off-site manufacturing approach, enabling modular screening facilities to be fully built, fitted out, and quality-checked prior to delivery.

This approach allowed:

  • Reduced on-site construction in the live terminal
  • Improved programme control and certainty
  • Efficient installation in a constrained environment

Modules were delivered and installed in a controlled sequence, ensuring seamless integration with existing operations and minimal disruption to passengers.
