Windsor Suite Temporary Transition Lane
Heathrow Airport required a temporary passenger screening solution to maintain security operations during refurbishment works at Terminal 5. ACS Modular delivered a fast-track modular facility that ensured continuous passenger flow and full compliance within a live terminal environment.
Project Overview
Project Overview
ACS Modular was appointed to deliver a temporary passenger screening transition lane adjacent to the Windsor Suite at Heathrow Terminal 5. The facility was required to maintain full passenger screening capability while refurbishment works were undertaken on the permanent security lane.
The project required a solution that could be deployed quickly, meet DfT compliance standards, and operate seamlessly within a live terminal environment.
The Challenge
Heathrow Airport required a temporary screening facility that could maintain passenger flow and security compliance during refurbishment works to an existing lane.
Key challenges included:
- Meeting strict Department for Transport (DfT) security compliance requirements
- Installation within a live operational terminal
- Maintaining uninterrupted passenger screening operations
- Delivering the facility within a tight programme
The ACS Solution
ACS designed and delivered a turnkey modular screening lane, allowing Heathrow to maintain operational security screening during refurbishment works.
The solution included:
- Modular temporary screening lane infrastructure
- Integration with security screening equipment
- Full design, manufacture and installation
- Rapid mobilisation and deployment strategy
The Delivery
Using off-site manufacturing and modular installation techniques, ACS delivered the facility within a five-month programme from contract award to handover. The screening lane remained fully operational throughout refurbishment works, ensuring passenger processing was unaffected.
Outcome
The project ensured that Heathrow Airport maintained full compliance and passenger processing capability during refurbishment works.
Key outcomes included:
- Heathrow met critical DfT compliance deadlines
- Zero operational downtime during refurbishment
- Seamless passenger flow maintained
- Minimal disruption to terminal operations
