HAURATON drainage systems have been installed within over 100 airports worldwide. We provide close and comprehensive on-site support to ensure that the airport drainage design, specification and installation is quick, efficient, cost-effective, and meets project requirements.
The importance of high-quality airport drainage systems
Airports are divided into airside and landside components. Airside locations include areas within the airport perimeter beyond security and passport control, where activities associated with aircraft occur. These include, for example, aprons, taxiways, runways and hangars as well as other facilities. Landside areas are accessible to the public, such as landside terminals, access roads and parking areas.
The drainage systems need to quickly and efficiently remove surface water to avoid flooding within each application area. In addition, the drainage system must meet the highest safety requirements. To prevent accidents and injuries, no metal parts should come loose from the trench drain or the rain gutter to avoid Foreign Object Debris (F.O.D.) in airside areas.
Airport drainage requirements
Especially airside areas are subject to continuous traffic by ultra-heavy-duty wheel loads and extreme dynamic forces. This is the result of mechanical forces imposed by aircraft, operations vehicles and even small wheel baggage trollies braking, turning and moving across the channels at speed.
Airport drainage systems should meet the following challenges:
