Airport Kiosks

Airport kiosks are small, high-visibility retail units that must be built accurately, installed quickly, and approved by the airport. HSM fabricates and installs them with our own millwork and trades.

Airport Kiosks

Small footprint, big detail

A kiosk may only cover a few square metres, but it carries a brand, a till, storage, lighting and power in that space. Dimensions are tight, and airport rules limit height, footprint and materials. Every detail, from drawer slides to cable routing, has to work in a small envelope.

Many are built as modular units, so they can be manufactured off-site and moved in overnight. That reduces disruption and quality risk. Others are built in place when access or dimensions require it.

What we build

Our carpenters and millwork crew build the counter, display and storage, and our painters and finishers apply the brand finishes. Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, provides power, lighting and equipment connections, often working from floor boxes. Our low voltage group handles point-of-sale cabling, network, music and security.

Where food or beverage is served, our mechanical crew installs water, drainage and ventilation connections, which can be the hardest part of a kiosk. Utilities in an airport floor may be limited, and we confirm what is available before design is final.

What to plan for

Airport approval is the critical path. Submit drawings early, understand requirements for fire protection and materials, and coordinate delivery times with airport operations. Installation windows are usually overnight.

Plan for how the kiosk will be restocked, cleaned and serviced, and for security at close. Keep spare parts and as-built drawings, since changes to promotions or equipment are frequent. Repeat kiosks across locations benefit from a standard design, which we can build and install consistently.

Moving fast without cutting corners

Short installation windows leave little room for rework. We pre-assemble and test off-site wherever we can, check measurements twice, and bring a full kit of fixings, fittings and touch-up materials. A site visit before fabrication catches conflicts with floor boxes, columns and fire equipment.

The result is a kiosk that arrives, installs and opens with minimal disruption.
