Gate Post 4, Dublin Airport
Project Overview

Gate Post 4, Dublin Airport

Modular

Gate Post 4 is a security facility at Dublin airport, its function is to screen all traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) passing between landside and airside from the Cargo Access Road and Bonded Road. The previous existing facility was comprised of a single building, with a single inbound and exit lane to the North and an inbound and exit lanes from the bonded road to the south.

Construction comprised 5 Phases of development, including civil and building works. Phases 3 and 4 include building works comprising the installation of a Temporary Modular Building, the demolition of the existing building and the installation of a Permanent Modular Building respectively. A forecourt canopy was installed above the new lanes 2 and 3 to the north. There was also work done to the existing approach roadway, whereby the road was widened with additional treatments.

The site remained secure at all times during construction and maintained access for all traffic passing through the Gate Post during the works Existing M & E items were retained for re use (including automatic boom gates and x ray equipment, lighting, gates, canopy mirrors etc). 4 New automatic Boom gates and skirted booms were installed as part of Phase 2 works.
