TrackJet® Contract Service

Contract Department

We design and produce TrackJet® machines.

Within the framework of service agreements, we also provide the associated contract services with our TrackJet® equipment. To this end, the TrackJet® Contract Department uses the latest equipment and employs only highly qualified technicians.
Over 40 airports worldwide can attest to the unique advantages of the TrackJet® method and our highly professional execution of all contracted services.

The revolutionary TrackJet® precision water jetting method uses very high pressure and extremely little water to provide a nearly 100% rubber removal rate without causing wear to the runway.

Runway protection

TrackJet® does not damage:

Asphalt surfaces with AntiSkid® coating
Concrete surfaces
Grooving / grooved edges
Runway lights (AGL)
Expansion joint seals

Example:
Even after 10 intense TrackJet® treatments on a previously carefully examined and documented runway surface, no measurably scouring of the basic runway structure could be detected.

Many leading airports exclusively use the TrackJet® Contract Service, thanks to the extremely gentle and non-damaging rubber removal offered.

Water consumption

The TrackJet® system only consumes about 10 % of the water used by standard water jetting systems.

This means:

Less fresh water needs to be transported onto the runway.
Less waste water needs to be transported from the runway.
Lower volume of waste water / rubber mixture requiring disposal.
Less staff required.

Fricition values

A statement heard often from airport managers: "The TrackJet® method delivers the best friction values ever."

Staff and security costs

Problems and costs related to security and escort staff are dramatically reduced thanks to the one operator/one vehicle concept.

Environment-friendly

The disposal and landfill costs for waste material are reduced thanks to the low amount of water consumed.

Additional tasks and applications

Markings can be removed extremely economically and quickly with the TrackJet® method.
Phantom markings are also reduced to a minimum. The treated surface is optimally prepared for re-coating using modern marking systems.
Cleaning out expansion joints is another interesting application for this method.

Total costs

When you consider:

the extended service life of the runway
the reduced need for airport cleaning crews
the lower disposal costs and
the lower water consumption

the TrackJet® Contract Service offers an excellent price/performance ratio.
