CKS Specializes in Runway Rejuvenation

Surface Assessment and Preparation

Our surface preparation quality and experience is second to none. CKS runway maintenance technicians are experts in the field and are well versed with the many factors that impact paint removal which may include:

  • age of the paint 
  • varieties of paints used previously
  • Improper application
  • Build up of rubber, paint, mildew, mold

We perform a full assessment of your runway and determine the most effective approach for your specific situation, leaving you with little to no evidence of your old paint lines. Just like the removal process, we know that repainting can be affected by a variety of similar components. The CKS team plans for every situation which may deter future surface adhesion including improper application, incorrect markings, contaminants, or excess build up of paint, rubber, mildew, or mold.

Thus leave you in the best position possible with a completely blank slate, to repaint lines or leave without new runway paint lines if you’re repositioning your runway.

Runway Paint Removal Process

We have state of the art paint removal technology designed specifically to remove existing layers of build up on your runways. Hydroblasters come in first, quickly removing buildups on the runway.

At CKS Runway Services, our runway maintenance technicians analyze your project to ascertain the correct nozzles, volume, and pressure for your particular surface to get the job done. Our exceptional vacuuming system removes the left behind wastewater and contaminants.

We utilize state of the art equipment which is built for efficiency and speed. Our hydroblasters can spray several feet at once, if needed, to expedite the process.

Our blasters removal-retrieval unit operates from 12,000 to 40,000psi. The psi can be adjusted depending on the age and condition of the surface and the paint being removed. Our equipment is specifically designed so that all pressures can be adjusted from 12,000 to 40,000psi. In our paint removal process, we use removal heads with cleaning widths ranging from 1 foot to 6 feet, depending heavily on the surface and paint conditions.
