And with GripTester, they won’t.
GripTester aims to prevent a range of safety and performance issues related to surface grip, primarily focusing on road and runway conditions. By measuring the friction between ties and surfaces, it helps to prevent vehicle and aircraft accidents caused by skidding and hydroplanning. Ensuring adequate grip, the GripTester contributes to safer driving and landing conditions, thereby reducing the risk of accidents, enhancing overall transportation safety, and aiding in the maintenance of infastructure by iden
Aircraft overruns are always damaging and sometimes disatrous. Skidding on contaminated surfaces is the most common cause of such incidents. The most effective way of preventing them is to carry out regular surveys with a recognized runway friction tester and act promptly on the results. If an overrun does occur, a timely friction survey report can be used to establish the airport’s due diligence.
