Airport Wayfinding Signage

A Complex Problem

Edmonton International Airport, serving as a major hub for Northern Alberta, required urgent updates to its airport wayfinding signage to maintain a seamless flow of traffic and ensure passenger convenience. The challenge was to replace all overhead and directional signage during scheduled maintenance of terminal arrivals and departures structures, without disrupting the airport’s operations. The project needed to be executed in a high-traffic environment, demanding precision and minimal interference with daily activities.
 

A Simple Solution

Hi Signs approached the task with strategic foresight, opting to perform installations during the early morning hours to leverage the lowest levels of vehicular activity. Our team designed, fabricated, and installed a unified visual wayfinding system that spanned across multiple overhead structures at the airport. The solution included a comprehensive traffic plan to accommodate ongoing airport operations and was engineered for ease of maintenance and future content updates, ensuring long-term utility and adaptability.
 

The Result

The new wayfinding signage system at Edmonton International Airport has greatly improved the navigational experience for travelers, guiding them efficiently through the complex arrangement of terminals and services. By executing the project during off-peak hours, Hi Signs successfully minimized disruptions, maintaining the flow of operations and enhancing passenger safety. This initiative has reinforced the airport’s commitment to providing a user-friendly and secure environment, showcasing Hi Signs’ capability to deliver critical infrastructure updates under challenging conditions.
