Aviation is a sector where fire protection has to meet exceptional demands. Airports, hangars, terminals and maintenance facilities combine very high-value assets, large numbers of people, significant fuel hazards and round-the-clock operations that cannot easily be interrupted. The consequences of fire, both in safety and in disruption, are considerable. MEP works across the aviation sector, delivering fire protection for the demanding, tightly regulated environments that keep aircraft and passengers moving.
Aviation facilities present unusual and high-consequence risks. Hangars are vast, high-ceiling spaces housing aircraft worth millions, with jet fuel and maintenance activities adding to the hazard. Terminals hold large numbers of people and must keep escape routes clear at all times. Operations run continuously, so downtime is costly and closures are rarely an option, and much of the environment is secure and airside, with strict access controls. All of this sits within a heavily regulated framework where compliance is closely scrutinised.
Working in aviation demands discipline and coordination. We plan works around continuous operations and airside access requirements, arrange the necessary security clearances and inductions, and coordinate closely with airport authorities, operators and other contractors so our activities never compromise safety or disrupt flights. We understand that in this sector everything is scheduled and controlled, and we work within those constraints to deliver protection to the standards the sector demands, with minimal impact on the running of the facility.

High-value equipment, power supply, fuel quantities, maintenance activities, vast high-ceiling enclosures and busy terminals with large numbers of people all present significant risk.
Because it combines high-value assets and continuous operations that cannot be interrupted, secure airside environments and heavy regulation.
Yes. We arrange the necessary security clearances and inductions and work within airside access and operational controls.
We plan around continuous operations and coordinate closely with operators and authorities to keep disruption to a minimum.
Yes. We work in hangars and other aviation facilities, taking account of their scale, the aircraft present and the associated hazards.
