Airside Flooring: Engineered for Aviation Operations

Airside environments present unique flooring challenges — aircraft loads, fuel and hydraulic fluid exposure, ATEX requirements, and the need for surfaces that do not generate foreign object debris (FOD). Standard industrial floors are inadequate for these demands.

Prime Industrial installs CAA-compliant resin flooring systems for aircraft maintenance hangars, apron areas, and airside facilities. Our systems are engineered to withstand aircraft point loads, resist aviation chemicals, and meet ATEX requirements for fuel handling zones.

Key Benefits for Airside Environments

FOD Prevention

Seamless, non-shedding surfaces that do not generate foreign object debris — a critical safety requirement for all airside environments near aircraft.

Aircraft Load Resistance

High-compressive-strength systems capable of withstanding aircraft jack loads, ground support equipment, and heavy maintenance tooling.

Aviation Chemical Resistance

Resistant to Jet A-1, Avgas, hydraulic fluid (Skydrol), de-icing fluids, and aircraft cleaning agents used in MRO operations.

ATEX Compliance

ESD-dissipative systems for ATEX Zone 1/2 areas in fuel handling, defuelling, and aircraft refuelling operations.

Containment Bunding

Integral containment bunding for fuel storage, oil storage, and chemical handling areas — designed to aviation environmental compliance standards.

CAA Documentation

Full CAA compliance documentation and surface friction data provided for aerodrome licensing submissions and safety management systems.

Aviation Regulatory Compliance

Our airside flooring systems are specified to meet CAA and aviation regulatory requirements:

CAA CAP 168: Licensing of aerodromes — surface requirements
CAA CAP 437: Standards for offshore helicopter landing areas
ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU: Explosive atmosphere compliance
ICAO Annex 14: Aerodromes — surface friction standards
Environment Agency: Fuel and chemical containment requirements
BS EN 13813: Screed material and floor screeds

Case Study

MRO Hangar Complex, East Midlands Airport

📍 East Midlands, UK📐 6,800 m²🔧 Heavy-Duty Epoxy + ATEX ESD + Containment Bunding

Challenge: MRO operator required complete hangar floor replacement with ATEX compliance in fuel zones, containment bunding for fuel storage, and CAA documentation for aerodrome licensing renewal.

Solution: Installed heavy-duty epoxy across maintenance bays, ATEX-compliant ESD system in fuel handling zones, and integral containment bunding around fuel storage. Full CAA compliance documentation and surface friction data provided.

Result: CAA aerodrome licence renewed without conditions. ATEX compliance verified by independent assessor. Containment bunding passed Environment Agency inspection. Zero FOD incidents in 18-month post-installation period.
