Airfield Inspections

At Jointline, we understand that airfield safety and operational efficiency begin with thorough, precise inspections. With over 30 years of experience in the aviation sector, we are a trusted partner for airfield operators across the UK. Our dedicated team offers comprehensive airfield inspection services tailored to meet the exacting standards of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Our Airfield Inspection Services Include:

Runway and Taxiway Surface Inspections

We assess the condition of asphalt, concrete, and painted markings to identify cracks, rutting, or other damage that could impact aircraft operations. Our team ensures all surfaces meet friction and skid resistance standards.

Joint Sealing Inspection for Concrete Pads

Concrete pads are essential for aircraft operations, and the integrity of joint sealing plays a critical role in their performance. Our team inspects joint seals for wear, adhesion, and damage, ensuring they are watertight and capable of withstanding environmental and operational stresses.

Drainage Assessments

Effective drainage is vital for preventing surface water buildup and maintaining runway integrity. Our inspections identify blockages, ponding, and other drainage issues to help you mitigate risks.

Rubber Deposits on Surfaces

Rubber buildup on runways from aircraft landings can compromise friction and skid resistance, posing a safety risk. Our inspections assess the extent of rubber deposits and recommend solutions for removal to maintain optimal runway performance.

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Checks

FOD poses a significant threat to aircraft safety. Our inspections include comprehensive checks for debris on runways, taxiways, and aprons to reduce potential hazards.

Key Benefits of Regular Airfield Inspections

• Improved Safety: Regular inspections help prevent accidents by identifying hazards early.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Proactive detection of issues reduces the need for expensive emergency repairs.
