Airport Runways

Jet Plant Hire brings decades of expertise to airport runway planing, partnering with surfacing contractors to deliver precision maintenance on time and within budget. Our teams understand the unique challenges of airside operations, where safety, speed, and compliance are non-negotiable. 

Our process is simple 

Runway planing can involve full-width milling or localized patch repairs. Due to strict flight schedules, work is often completed within narrow windows, sometimes as little as five hours. We coordinate closely with airport operations and adhere to NOTAM protocols to ensure minimal disruption. In the event of an emergency flight, our crews are trained to clear the runway immediately.

Sustainable Transport & Services

We need several other vehicles during motorway planing and this is something Jet also provide as part of the contract: 

Low loader

to transport the road planer to and from the site or to move the machine around the site if required.

Tippers

required to collect material from the machine elevator and to take-off site.

Sweepers

these are required to sweep the milled surface after the planer

Water bowser

used to re-fill the planer with water if required.

Sustainable and Safe Delivery

We integrate sustainability into every stage of delivery. All planed material is recycled via licensed and authorized tips. Our fleet of low-emission vehicles combined with minimized trip journey planning helps reduce carbon impact. This approach helps our customers meet, compliance, environmental targets while maintaining operational excellence. 

To further support our standards we have a robust ESG process that means all of our teams and equipment on site achieve the very best in safe and sustainable delivery.
