Engineering for general aviation airfields and small landing strips.

Paved runways, grass strips and other unpaved surfaces have different maintenance needs. Dromo can help owners decide what to inspect, improve and monitor for the aircraft they use.

Start with the aircraft, use and surface.

On paved airfields, we assess surface condition, runway and taxiway levels, markings, drainage and repair needs. On grass and unpaved strips, the focus is soil strength, moisture, ruts, vegetation, drainage and seasonal use.

The scope is agreed around the operator’s needs, aircraft types, applicable rules and available budget. The aim is a practical set of findings and recommendations that helps the owner make the next decision.

Verified project register

Measured evidence for a general-aviation airport asset.

The project example below covers Dromo’s separate LiDAR survey and WhatsON analysis at Paul Ricard Airport. It does not describe work on a grass strip.

Reality capture

LiDAR scan

The airport assignment records LiDAR capture of the operating asset.

Analysis

WhatsON review

The captured geometry was connected to a documented WhatsON analysis phase.
