Weatherproofing airport buildings

The airports market around the world continues to grow, with people stepping aboard flights for business, to visit friends and family and for holidays abroad. There’s also the increase in cargo flights as more and more goods are imported and exported. With so much of the world’s economy depending on the aviation sector, it’s easy to see why weatherproofing airport buildings is so important.

Protecting airport buildings with weatherproofing

Weatherproofing can help to protect airport buildings, their contents and occupants by preventing moisture ingress. As climate change brings more frequent and severe weather events, airport weatherproofing is becoming increasingly important.

Our airport weatherproofing and roof repair methods are suitable for all types of roof build ups, including GRP roofs, as well as various cladding materials.
When weatherproofing building penetrations, there is no restriction in size, shape or position of the penetration and changes can easily be accommodated. Typical penetrations for airport projects include:

  • HVAC systems
  • Ventilation units, including AOVs
  • Access hatches
  • Cable trays
  • Service risers
  • Roof windows and rooflights

A colour-matching service is available to help maintain the aesthetics and branding of the airport’s exterior and our airport weatherproofing system is backed by an industry-leading 25-year warranty.

Our methods are also flexible, and we work closely with all stakeholders to ensure clear communication, and that work is carried out in a safe, secure and timely manner, while minimising disruption.

Security in airport weatherproofing

We recognise that security is a critical consideration around airports. And this is certainly true for the contractors working on the roofs of airport buildings. Airports are sensitive environments with strict regulations and tight timescales, so all of our weatherproofing services are carried out with the utmost care and compliance, including:

Service Risers

Wherever pipes or ducting enter or exit a building, the penetration can be prone to water ingress and other problems. This is particularly problematic for service risers that extend upwards through a roof, which is a typical issue for plant decks.

Surveys

Every project is different, with its own unique requirements and challenges. A site survey from Jones Weatherproofing will provide you with a comprehensive report on the condition of the building’s roof, as well as what is required to achieve the desired results.

Commercial Roof Repairs

When a commercial roof is in need of repair, you’ll want to get it fixed quickly and to a high standard. Weatherproofing is key, and many leaky roofs can be attributed to poor weathering around the building penetrations.
