Abu Dhabi International Airport Apron Stand Marking
Re-mark 18 contact and remote stands at Abu Dhabi International Airport to ICAO Annex 14 standards within night-shift NOTAM windows of 4 hours each, with jet-blast resistance and high wet-reflectivity. The apron had to remain fully operational for daytime widebody operations.
The Challenge
Re-mark 18 contact and remote stands at Abu Dhabi International Airport to ICAO Annex 14 standards within night-shift NOTAM windows of 4 hours each, with jet-blast resistance and high wet-reflectivity. The apron had to remain fully operational for daytime widebody operations.
Our Solution
Specified Type III MMA cold plastic with Type II glass beads across all stand centrelines, lead-on lines, stop bars and stand numbering. MMA was selected for its 30-minute cure at 25°C, allowing each stand to reopen within the NOTAM window, plus jet-blast resistance rated to 260°C.
Execution
Airside crews surveyed to Annex 14 geometry, water-blasted and dried each stand, then extruded MMA at night. Stand numbers were applied using preformed MMA cut to specification. A total of 18 stands were marked over 24 night-shift windows, with reflectivity tested to Q3 (≥300 mcd/m²/lx) on every stand.
