The aviation industry is an intricate web of moving parts where precision and safety are paramount. Amidst the bustling activity of airports and roads, an often-overlooked aspect is the critical infrastructure beneath the wheels—asphalt runways and taxiways. These vital arteries of air travel demand meticulous maintenance to ensure operational safety, minimal disruption, and cost control.

This is where ASI Solutions comes in with its advanced asphalt preservation solutions.

Age-old methods of asphalt maintenance have proven costly in terms of both finances and downtime. Resurfacing, the traditional remedy, comes with a hefty price tag and often causes significant interruptions to airport operations. In this high-stakes arena, innovation is not just welcome, it’s essential.

To address this need, ASI Solutions introduced Rhinophalt^®, which revolutionises asphalt preservation, offering benefits that set it apart from conventional maintenance practices. Including nighttime working to avoid disrupting flights.

The solution provides the ideal solution for runway, taxiway, and access road maintenance. Rhinophalt^® is designed to extend the lifespan of airport asphalt surfaces, mitigating the need for costly resurfacing and reactive repairs. This approach conserves financial resources and significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with traditional resurfacing methods.

“Our solution reduces the consumption of new materials and curtails the energy-intensive processes associated with frequent resurfacing, aligning perfectly with economic prudence and environmental stewardship,” says Craig Marshall, commercial manager, ASI Solutions.

Among the unique features of Rhinophalt^® is its impressive sustainability profile. With over 90 percent higher carbon efficiency than resurfacing, it is pivotal in decarbonising airport maintenance processes. Using this technology, airport operators can contribute to achieving broader environmental objectives while improving their sustainability programmes.

Rhinophalt^® aligns perfectly with ASI Solutions’ objective of minimising disruptions to airport operations during maintenance, while also facilitating seamless application and reducing the risk of failure due to oxidisation.

Rhinophalt^® is already used by more than 70 airports worldwide, yet ASI Solutions remains dedicated to continuous improvement. Feedback from clients across diverse geographies has been invaluable in refining the product and ensuring its effectiveness and adaptability.

The visionary mission to redefine asphalt infrastructure management has been a success. ASI Solutions envisions a future where proactive asset management becomes a cornerstone of airport maintenance, securing durability and performance while eliminating unexpected challenges. The focus on integrating Rhinophalt^® into lifecycle planning underscores its commitment to creating sustainable, resilient airport infrastructures.

Beyond its current achievements, ASI Solutions has its sights set on further driving carbon reduction and enhancing the efficacy of Rhinophalt^®.

Many success storeys illustrate the transformative effectiveness of Rhinophalt^®. Airports, including in Brussels, Sydney, Keflavik, and Reykjavik have harnessed it to significantly prolong the operational life of their runways and other asphalt surfaces.

Over 70 airports across the world have benefited similarly from Rhinophalt^®. These use cases underscore the transformative impact of ASI Solutions’ solutions on airport operations and finances, as well as the environment. As the aviation industry evolves, ASI Solutions remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence, sustainability, and pioneering advancements that shape the future of aviation infrastructure maintenance.
