Birmingham International Airport improve liquid preparation area
11 Jun 2018
We’re pleased to have worked with Birmingham International Airport again to provide them with bespoke units to encourage recycling in their passenger security and liquid preparation areas. We have previously worked with the airport to provide a number of special units to promote recycling within the terminals, so when they approached us to create large, secure units, we were happy to help.
The requirements of the project were to help with the new North Terminal Security Extension project, through the installation of multiple stations in the upgraded departures area.
The Problem
The airport concluded that their liquid preparation area was not adequate for the volume of passengers that were departing from the terminal.
Design Requirements
The unit would need to be suitable for collecting unacceptable items and also to act as a designated area to make people aware of security requirements, such as the removal of certain outer clothing; belts, shoes etc. and electronic items.
The waste streams would need to collect recycling, liquids, general waste and sharps. It also needed to contain a dispenser for clear plastic bags and a transparent cabinet to display examples of accepted and restricted items.
Our Solution
Based around our Lute Recycling Bin design, these units were powder coated in grey, to the Airport’s specification and built in a modular style design to make them easy to move and fit together.
The units are built with sloping lids to prevent any items being left on top and the apertures feature galvanised steel fascia plates to direct the correct items into the bin.
Features of the complete design include:
- 150 litre capacity for mixed recycling
- 80 litre capacity for general waste
- 30 litre capacity liner for sharps collection including a narrow opening disposal chute to stop anything from being retrieved from the bin. The unit also includes an internal divider to prevent access to the sharps from the general waste aperture
- Two bag dispensers fitted to the backboard of the unit with top openings for refilling clear plastic bags
The bins are secured with slam locks to the front to allow for easy emptying and each one features a plastic leak-proof tray to stop any liquid spillages.
Castors are fitted to the base of the units so that they can be easily moved when necessary and they are also fitted to the internal liners to aid emptying of the bins.
In total, 14 of these large units are being implemented in the terminal.
