International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards require runways to be maintained to provide good friction characteristics. Every International aerodrome or a regional airport must define minimum friction levels below which a runway is considered ‘Slippery When Wet’, meaning restrictions apply to aircraft performances. Aerodrome operators must plan maintenance actions never to have friction characteristics below the minimum friction levels.

At BLUEBOX ENGINEERING LIMITED, we can provide certified NCAA and ICAO-Compliant testing to your Aerodrome operators or asset management teams. With real-time electronic reporting, pavement maintenance programming, and the assurance that your runway keeps passengers and staff safe when flying.

Using Australia’s only certified SARSYS friction value testing units, BLUEBOX ENGINEERING LIMITED will quickly and efficiently measure your entire runway within hours and generate an electronic report against the planned maintenance thresholds.
