Flooring for the Most Demanding Industrial Environment

Aerospace facilities present some of the most demanding flooring challenges in any industrial sector. Aircraft hangars must support the exceptional point loads of aircraft jacking equipment and ground support vehicles, resist aviation fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemicals, and provide a surface that meets the strict housekeeping and FOD (Foreign Object Debris) prevention requirements of aviation maintenance operations.

We have extensive experience specifying and installing resin flooring systems for aerospace MRO facilities, aircraft hangars, and aerospace manufacturing plants. Our systems are selected for their ability to meet the specific operational, chemical, and regulatory requirements of the aerospace sector.

Why Aerospace Facilities Choose Our Resin Systems

Exceptional Load Capacity

High-build epoxy systems withstand the concentrated point loads of aircraft jacking equipment, ground support vehicles, and heavy aerospace tooling without cracking or surface failure.

Aviation Chemical Resistance

Resistance to aviation fuel (Jet A-1, AVGAS), hydraulic fluid (Skydrol), de-icing chemicals, and the aggressive cleaning agents used in aircraft maintenance operations.

FOD Prevention

Seamless resin floors eliminate the joints, cracks, and loose particles that create FOD hazards in aircraft maintenance environments — a critical safety requirement for aviation operations.

Anti-Static Protection

Anti-static resin systems prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges that pose a fire and explosion risk in fuelling areas and near aviation fuel systems.

Defined Maintenance Zones

Durable resin floor markings define aircraft parking positions, maintenance zones, equipment storage areas, and pedestrian routes — supporting safe and efficient hangar operations.

Containment Systems

Resin bunding and containment systems for fuel storage, hydraulic fluid handling, and chemical storage areas — meeting Environment Agency requirements for aviation fuel containment.

Compliance & Standards

Aerospace resin floors are specified to meet CAA and EASA regulatory requirements, Environment Agency guidance on aviation fuel containment, ATEX requirements for fuelling areas, and the specific requirements of aerospace MRO operators and OEM facilities.

CAA and EASA regulatory requirements for aircraft maintenance facilities
Environment Agency PPG26 — aviation fuel containment
ATEX Directive — anti-static systems for fuelling and fuel storage areas
HSE slip resistance — PTV ≥36 for wet maintenance areas
FOD prevention requirements — seamless, particle-free surfaces

Case Study

Case Study: Commercial Aircraft MRO Hangar

📍 Heathrow, UK📐 8,200 m²🔧 High-build chemical-resistant epoxy with anti-static finish and containment bunding

Challenge: A major MRO operator required a complete floor refurbishment of their wide-body aircraft maintenance hangar. The existing floor had significant chemical damage from Skydrol hydraulic fluid and required a system that could withstand the 450-tonne point loads of wide-body aircraft jacking equipment.

Solution: 8mm high-build chemical-resistant epoxy with anti-static finish throughout the hangar floor. Resin containment bunding around the hydraulic fluid handling area. Full aircraft parking position markings, maintenance zone markings, and FOD walk route markings. Installation completed in phases during scheduled maintenance downtime.

Result: Zero FOD incidents attributable to floor condition in the 24 months following installation. Skydrol resistance confirmed by independent chemical resistance testing. The client's CAA audit commended the floor condition as best practice.
