Glasgow Airport

Glasgow Airport is a key component of Scotland’s transport infrastructure, serving millions of passengers each year and supporting a wide route network across the UK and internationally.

Surespan supported maintenance access requirements at Glasgow Airport by supplying access and safety components used to support safe movement between roof and service areas, where controlled access, reliable operation and long service life are essential in a live airport environment.

Scope of supply

Surespan supplied a specification-ready access package aligned to transport infrastructure requirements, including roof access products and associated components to support secure, repeatable maintenance access.

Key considerations

Airport environments demand robust operation, safe handling and reliable weather performance. Access points are typically specified to suit the roof build-up, maintenance frequency and any operational security requirements, with appropriate locking and controlled access measures.

Outcome

Surespan’s supply supported a safe and maintainable access strategy for ongoing airport operations, helping ensure roof and service zones can be accessed efficiently by authorised personnel while maintaining a clean external finish and controlled entry.

South Clyde Energy Centre

Surespan supplied a bespoke hydraulically operated double-leaf access cover package for the South Clyde Energy Centre, a major Energy-from-Waste facility under construction in Glasgow.
