Project Description

Project to include design, engineering, construction and installation of 10 vehicular airfield access entry gates including fence relocation. As part of this project, we would also like to install security cameras at entry points and other advantage locations.

Project Background

BKV currently has 10 automatic sliding gates that have been separately installed over a period of 20+ years. Not only are the gates of differing makes, which requires BKV to maintain various replacement parts, but also operated by different keypad systems. The older gates were not designed for the continual use of tenants that use the areas such as the t-hangar area originally constructed with 29 units, now with 68 units and more to be built.

Project Justification

Installing an updated electronic card-based system would greatly enhance security as many tenants are giving out codes to other individuals as well as reduce labor hours keying codes in and out of the systems. Currently BKV does not have any security cameras in place. Implementation of a camera system would greatly enhance security especially during evening hours when airport staff is not present and the ATCT is non-operational.

Ramifications of Incomplete Project

Without the enhance airport security through the installation of surveillance cameras and a proximity card access system safety will become an issue.
