The basic task is to ensure safe operation of airport pavements by analyzing the parameters characterizing its technical condition.

For over 65 years, Division has been supporting the activities of airport services, including the implementation of research and development as well as technical and service works. The Division performs expert opinions, opinions and reports based on comprehensive laboratory and field tests.
In order to ensure the safety of aircraft during air operations Airfield Division provides services in the scope of technical consultancy, technological supervision and inspections of technical condition of airport pavements operated on civil and state aviation facilities.

Selected works:

research works carried out in laboratory conditions, which include:

• materials and technologies used in the construction, refurbishment, rapid repair and maintenance of airport pavements made of cement and asphalt concrete;
• innovative materials and technologies used in the construction and quick reconstruction of damaged airfield pavements;
• technical decisions regarding the assessment of the suitability of innovative materials and products for use on airport pavements, not covered by Polish and European normative documents;
