Temporary Airport Fencing
Airport Fencing That
Won’t Fold in High Winds.
Fortawall's wind-rated temporary fencing is engineered for runway expansions, airside construction, and terminal upgrades — keeping airports secure, compliant, and operationally efficient.
Why Airport Operators Choose Fortawall
Engineered for airside construction, runway maintenance, and terminal operations — Fortawall delivers the security, compliance, and stability that aviation environments demand.
Designed to Meet Airport Standards
Airports operate under strict regulations to control access, protect passengers, and secure critical infrastructure. Fortawall is fully compliant with AS1170.2 (Wind Actions for Structural Design) and AS4687.2:2022 (Temporary Fencing & Hoardings), ensuring airport authorities and contractors meet security and safety requirements without delays.
High-Wind Stability for Open-Air Locations
Airport environments experience strong wind currents, wake turbulence, and sudden gusts from aircraft movements. Standard fencing collapses under these pressures — Fortawall's system is engineered to withstand winds up to 165km/h, keeping sites secure and uninterrupted.
Prevents Airside Security Breaches & Unauthorised Access
Airport security regulations demand strict perimeter control, especially in restricted airside areas, cargo terminals, and maintenance zones. Fortawall's bolted-in, tamper-proof panels prevent lifting and forced entry, ensuring only authorised personnel can access sensitive locations.
Safe for Ground Crews, Contractors & Airport Vehicles
Airports have constant vehicle and personnel movement, increasing the risk of accidents if fencing is unstable or obstructive. Fortawall's trip-free enclosed base eliminates hazards, making it safe for baggage carts, service vehicles, and maintenance crews moving through high-traffic areas.
Areas of Airports That
Fortawall Secures
From airside construction to passenger queuing — Fortawall delivers secure, compliant fencing across every zone of the airport.
Airside Construction & Maintenance Zones
Secure perimeters around runway repairs, taxiway maintenance, and tarmac construction while maintaining strict access control. Fortawall's wind-rated panels stay stable even during high-traffic airside operations.
Landside Security Perimeters
Temporary fencing for car parks, terminal expansion projects, and public areas to ensure pedestrian safety and traffic flow management. Fortawall keeps landside operations secure without obstructing passenger movement.
Emergency Response & Restricted Areas
Create secure barriers for emergencies, security incidents, or temporary restricted access zones. Fortawall's rapid deployment system enables quick site lockdown when urgent perimeter control is needed.
Baggage Handling & Cargo Areas
Prevent unauthorised access to sensitive freight and baggage handling locations, ensuring logistical security and compliance. Fortawall's tamper-proof panels secure high-value cargo zones at every stage of the supply chain.
Temporary Crowd Control & Event Management
Use for temporary passenger queuing, VIP access, or crowd control during peak travel periods and airport events. Fortawall's 300kg bolted-in panels hold firm under crowd pressure with no trip hazards in high-traffic flows.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Airport Fencing
Everything you need to know about how Fortawall supports Australian airports, runways, and aviation operations.
What makes Fortawall a better choice for airports compared to standard fencing?
Unlike traditional fencing, Fortawall is engineered for extreme airport conditions, including strong winds, aircraft turbulence, and high-traffic areas. Its bolted-in panels and enclosed base prevent instability and movement, ensuring long-term reliability in high-security zones.
Does Fortawall require ongoing maintenance?
No. Fortawall's UV-resistant, corrosion-proof materials ensure long-term performance with minimal maintenance, even in high-traffic airport environments.
Can Fortawall withstand strong winds often found on runways?
Yes. Fortawall is designed to withstand winds up to 165km/h, making it ideal for open, high-wind areas and airfields where standard fencing fails.
How does Fortawall help manage restricted areas within an airport?
Airports require strict security perimeters for runways, terminals, and cargo zones. Fortawall's tamper-proof, bolted-in fencing ensures only authorised personnel have access, preventing security breaches and unauthorised entry.
