ALTISENSE

Overview

Airports need accurate meteorological observations for operations, and they must manage obstacles, noise and air quality around the aerodrome. We supply and integrate the sensing systems, the obstruction lighting and marking on surrounding structures, and the windsocks and heliport aids.

Site conditions we design for

  • Observations needed for ICAO Annex 3 reporting
  • Low visibility from fog and dust affecting runway operations
  • Lightning risk to ramp and ground operations
  • Community noise and air quality around the airport
  • Obstacles and cranes around the aerodrome during expansion

Monitoring for Airports & Aviation

For airports, airfields and heliports we deliver lightning detection, airport noise monitoring, air quality monitoring, illuminated windsocks, ICAO obstruction lights and weather stations. Full aerodrome weather systems (AWOS, RVR and ceilometers) are handled as specialist turnkey projects.

Specialist aviation systems. Full AWOS, runway visual range (RVR) and ceilometer installations for certified aerodromes are delivered as specialist turnkey projects, engineered with the sensor manufacturer to ICAO Annex 3, WMO guidance and the acceptance requirements of the civil aviation authority. Standard weather stations for airstrips, heliports and airfield works are supplied as packaged systems.
