Aviation
How we can help?
Airports are complex infrastructure sites with intricate risk management requirements. The significance of an effective and reliable fire maintenance strategy in such an environment can’t be overstated.
Airports are also nodes in the global transportation network, so it’s critical that any fire safety plan addresses the airport’s needs and concerns, including:
Regulatory and security compliance
Airports operate within a distinctive regulatory framework that encompasses a comprehensive set of rules and guidelines established by local and international aviation authorities. Understanding and adhering to these standards is vital to delivering works on site.
Expertise in complex environments
Suppliers with experience in airport-specific fire risks can offer tailored solutions that address the unique needs of different airport zones — for example, where large amounts of aviation fuel are stored, where mechanical work and repairs occur, and where large kitchens cater for thousands of customers. Each of these areas require specific skillsets to ensure the specialist equipment is maintained in accordance with design.
Reliable and responsive
In an environment where every second counts, the regular testing of fire systems is key. This requires robust delivery systems, the ability to design and implement all types of fire systems, and an ability to work closely with many stakeholders on upgrade projects, de-fits, inspections and testing, and certification.
Safety always
The foremost priority is to ensure safety. Prior to starting any on-site work, a comprehensive Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) system is imperative. The HSEQ team must engage in weekly activities to conduct site audits, quality checks, technical assessments, and other relevant tasks.
