FOCUS SHEET
Airport stakeholders Combine safety and security to improve performance The airport sector represents a real challenge in terms of safety, physical & digital securities and environment. Its major challenges include: Ensuring the safe flow of: • Vehicles (aircraft, trains, trucks, cars) • Goods (freight, luggage) • Machinery and equipment (construction machinery, boarding bridges, etc.) • Data (data specific to the correct functioning of your organisation, customer data) Preventing environmental risks (lightning strikes, pollution and CO2 emissions, fuel emissions, noise pollution, vibrations) Securing equipment (lifts, machinery, moving walkways, boarding bridges) and infrastructures (runways, car parks, buildings) Training airport staff (professional and regulated training) With over 80 years of experience in the airport sector, Apave experts support you following international standards (BS, NFPA, AST) in the management of human, technical, environmental and digital risks, and in performance development at every stage of your projects. Our teams are by your side to assist you in the strategic decision-making process and provide you with the highest level of expertise.
Acceptance phase and tests Construction phase
• Compliance checks, • External checks, • Specific measurements and tests, • Thermal assessments of buildings.
• Geotechnical studies project planning, • Materials laboratory: Road and runways technology, cement technology, soil mechanics and chemistry of materials, • AMI: Auscultation, Measurement (topography, drone, geophysics, bathymetry, etc.), Instrumentation, including the AP’Structure(R) solution, • IcE (Independent Checking Engineer), QCE (Quality Control Engineer), QA/QC, etc., • External and external checks, with quality controls of the materials and equipment implemented (site laboratory), • HSE monitoring/supervision, support and organisation.
Design phase • Safety management, • Design assistance, verification of technical documentation, • Environment (geotechnical surveys and studies, natural risk studies, environmental studies, topographical, hydrogeological and hydraulic studies), • Site safety management, diagnosis of existing facilities, • Validation and verification of design calculations, • Validation of compliance (technical assistance), • Airport engineering.
Apave Apave supports supports you you every stage at at every stage of of your your projects projects
Operations and maintenance phase • Safety certification training, security, handling operations, etc., • Support in the optimisation of your management systems, • Audits and technical support, • Avisé(R) regulatory monitoring, • Third-party periodic inspections.
Dismantling phase • Safety management, • Support in managing the dismantling of airport equipment, facilities or buildings that have reached their end of life, • Validation of design calculations, procedures and operating methods, • Waste management, • Site safety management.
