Apron and Runway Cleaning and Maintenance
| Airport Surface Friction Tester (ASFT) | ||
ASFT CFME products are fully approved by FAA, ICAO and UK CAA CAP683 for unrestricted operation on aerodromes. |
The ASFT Saab SFT CFME is known worldwide for being user-friendly and reliable. |
The tank volume of our CFME equipment is sufficient for measuring more than 10,000m of runway with a water layer depth of 1mm (0.04in). |
The T-10 for smaller airports and road authorities does not require any permanent installations, so any towing vehicle can be used within 1min's notice. |
ASFT installed the successful SFT concept in a range of different host vehicles, like the Ford 500, Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan. |

| Cyclone Surface Cleaning / Cyclone Environmental Technologies | ||
The Cyclone system removes petroleum-based waste and other contaminants from concrete and asphalt runways without any negative impact on the environment and no damage to the cleaned surface. |
The Cyclone HP8530 is an effective tool for rubber removal, apron / gate cleaning, spill recovery and glycol recovery. |
The Cyclone LP3005 operator-driven glycol recovery vehicle is compact and self-contained. |
The LP3005 does not involve any scrubbing, sweeping or contaminants moving from one area to another. |
Cyclone systems provide non-abrasive, high-speed surface cleaning in one compact vehicle. |

| Douglas Equipment SPD | ||
The Mu-Meter Mk6 is a continuous friction measuring and reporting system designed for testing airport runways, taxiways and road surfaces. |
SPD's Mu-Meter Mk6 is a dedicated airport runway friction test machine designed for harsh environments and 24h operation. |
Mu-Meter equipment consists of a small three-wheeled trailer, incorporating electronic measuring systems which operate in conjunction with a computer carried in the chosen towing vehicle. |
| Greavesy | ||
Greavesy's UHP water jets remove painted lines quickly and are environmentally sound as they do not release any particles into the atmosphere. |
UHP water blasting removes thermoplastic markings without damaging the surface. |
Water blasting is the method of choice for rubber removal at some of the busiest airports in the world, including Heathrow and many of the largest BAA-controlled airports. |
| HDT HochDruckTechnik | ||
The high-performance RWC 1000 HS is designed to provide professional runway and surface cleaning. |
The vehicle can be tilted hydraulically for maintenance purposes and to empty the dirty water tank. |
At the heart of the vehicle is a 140kW high-pressure pump with a performance of 29l/min at a maximum working pressure of 2,500bar. |
The driver can keep constant control of the cleaning process using a camera which is mounted behind the surface cleaner. |
The RWC 1000 HS removes all traces of rubber and other deposits using suction. |

| Scandinavian Airport and Road Systems (SARSYS) | ||
SARSYS produces runway friction measurement equipment for airports. |
The SARSYS Friction Tester (SFT) measures friction on airport runways and taxiways. |
The SARSYS Trailer Friction Trailer (STFT) is a trailer with a built-in runway friction measuring system. |
The large space in the rear provides easy access and a comfortable working position during service and maintenance work. The luggage compartment can still take a considerable load of equipment such as extra measuring wheels, etc. |
SARSYS provides the highest degree of service and availability of spares in the market, providing the customer with a long lasting and safe operation. |
|
| URETEK | ||
The URETEK method of slab lifting enables the most accurate re-grade and slab alignment in the airport industry. |
URETEK's patented Deep Injection Process go to the heart of the problem providing a safe solution to soil stabilisation. |
Air Force One chooses URETEK for many of its critical runway repairs. |
It is common for depressions to develop in hangar floors due to the static weight of aircraft. This is one of the many problems we can deal with. |
URETEK's method of slab-lifting, which we utilised at Eindhoven Airport, is as non-disruptive as possible meaning you will be back in business almost immediately. |
|
| Vindotco | ||
Vindotco has developed a natural runway cleaner that rapidly and efficiently removes the reverted rubber tyre deposits from runways and associated areas. |
The build up of reverted rubber deposits can cover the major white lines of a runway in only three weeks. The natural efficacy of Rubberaser allows runway cleaning to be kept to a minimum and reduces damage to the runways. |
Aircraft tyres are manufactured from natural rubber, and each time an aircraft lands it deposits reverted rubber on the runway and the white lane safety markings. Rubberaser is the environmentally safe solution for runway cleaning. |

| Waterblasting Technologies | ||
Rubber removal on grooved concrete; depending on the amount of build-up and the condition of the pavement surface, removal rates of up to 18,000ft²/hr (1672.25m²) can be achieved with the Stripe Hog. |
Rubber removal on grooved asphalt. Notice the cleanliness and integrity of the grooves after removal. |
Runway rubber and painted markings are easily removed with the Stripe Hog. Blasting widths can be as wide as 40in (101cm). |
The tractor mounted blasting option enables you to work quickly and cleanly in tight spaces. The tractor will operate up to 400ft (121m) from the truck. |
The Stripe Hog has been successfully mounted on Autocar, GMC, Isuzu, Mack, MAN, Peterbilt, Scania, Sterling and Volvo chassis'. It likely can be mounted to the chassis of your choice. |
