A SMOOTH LANDING WITH MILLIKEN
To create a striking entrance at one of the busiest airports in the world, the OBEX entry solutions from Milliken proved the best choice.
World-class travelling requires world- class spaces, which can hinge on a building’s first impression – the entrance. Effective entryway flooring can trap up to 80% of dirt and moisture from entering a building within the first 30ft. Knowing this, the Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport selected Milliken’s OBEX entry solutions to keep the space clean and inviting for its millions of passengers.
Every year, 100 million domestic and international travellers pass through the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It has been the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998, and by number of landings and take-offs from 2005 to 2013, and in 2015. Hartsfield–Jackson held its ranking as the world's busiest airport in 2012, both in passengers and number of flights, by accommodating 100 million passengers (more than 260,000 passengers daily) and 950,119 flights. Many of the nearly one million flights are domestic flights from within the United States, where Atlanta serves as a major hub for travel throughout the South-eastern United States. The airport has 207 domestic and international gates.
In August 2014, the airport management unveiled a preliminary new master plan including the replacement of the existing domestic parking garages, an end-around taxiway and additional cargo facilities on the south side of the airport, the addition of three new international concourses, the conversion of Concourse E to domestic use and a sixth runway. March 2016, the final 20- year master plan was finalised.
As the busiest airport in the world, Atlanta Airport experiences an incredible amount of traffic moving in and out of the travel hub. With every new traveller comes new dirt, dust, and grease from the car park and moisture

from rain or inclement weather; all brought inside on the heels of shoes, carts, and luggage.
Aesthetics are key in building entrances, too. In addition to unparalleled performance, OBEX offers a true design solution for entryways. With a vibrant blue in the North Terminal entrance and saturated red in the South Terminal, the entryway flooring also gives the Atlanta Airport a unique opportunity to reinforce their brand in a way that is both beautiful and functional.
“Effective entryway

moisture from entering a building within the first 30ft.”
OBEX offers a highly effective, comprehensive modular entrance solution. It has been designed as a three-zone barrier system to prevent dirt and moisture from entering a building: Zone 1 outdoors, the area just before the building access requires a product with scraping action to remove; Zone 2 indoors, the primary area just inside the building where a product with dual action scraping and moisture; Zone 3 indoors, the secondary area inside the building after Zone 2, providing a textile product for moisture retention.
Available in co-ordinated colours and patterns, OBEX entrance products are engineered to increase the functionality of a building’s entrance without compromising on design or aesthetic. Simple and easy to work with, OBEX offers entrance systems which can be recessed or surface-mounted, including exterior and interior applications.
