Even airports are increasingly focused on protecting the environment and climate. To reduce CO2 emissions when passengers travel to and from the airport, Dresden Airport has recently opened a modern, secure bike shed for up to twelve bicycles and electric bikes. The ELA container for bicycles is purpose-built.
“This container is not just a bike shed, but also a viewing platform”, explains Erik Geidelt, Commercial Branch Manager at ELA Container’s office in Frankenberg, Saxony. Visitors can ascend a set of stairs with non-slip steel grating to access the roof of the 20-foot standard shipping container. “They have a perfect view of the airport ramp from there," says Geidelt.
The ELA special container is around 6 metres long and 2.5 metres wide. Its sturdy steel frame construction is fitted with robust, fully welded trapezoidal sheeting with additional insulation on three sides. The viewing platform on the roof has handrails all around it. The LED panels inside the bike shed keep it illuminated even in the darkness. “We painted the container module red at the request of the customer. This makes it match the backdrop of the airport”, says Geidelt.
The bike shed is one of many different steps being taken by the Dresden Airport to protect the environment and the climate. Passengers and visitors can now leave their bicycles in a more convenient spot and head over to the check-in desk in just a few minutes. The free service is intended to people including passengers with hand luggage or visitors to the airport.
