State-of-the-Art Aviation Painting Centres by Design

We operate state-of-the-art facilities of our own design. Working with professional designers, engineers and architects, we have developed a code-compliant paint shop specification to facilitate the high standards of our aviation painting activities. Our paint shops incorporate digitized building management systems to monitor and control the  temperature and humidity in the paint shop and paint storage areas during the pre-paint preparation, painting and curing processes, providing objective data points which validate the conformance to material specifications. Emergency response measures include fire protection systems compliant to the NFPA 409 standard, waste management systems to manage the flow, separation, storage and disposal of hazardous materials and hangar lighting systems illuminate working areas on and around the aircraft at measurements up to 1,000 lux.
