Allied Infrastructure – ILS Survey

The Challenge

Surveying Instrument Landing System (ILS) equipment and their associated duct routes presents a unique set of challenges due to the critical need for absolute precision. The ILS signal must be entirely free of interference, requiring meticulous measurement and placement. Furthermore, this work must often be coordinated within the airport’s highly restricted and operational environment, navigating complex underground utilities and adhering to strict safety protocols—all while minimizing disruption to airfield operations. This careful, precise surveying is the essential first step in ensuring the safety and reliability of every landing.

Our Approach

Our approach is founded on proactive and collaborative coordination. We initiate every project by engaging early and consistently with key stakeholders, including NATS and Airport Operations (OPs). This ensures we secure the necessary access permissions and agree on work schedules that align with airfield operational patterns. By integrating our planning directly with yours, we guarantee that all surveying activities are conducted efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to the critical functions of the airport. This disciplined coordination is the cornerstone of delivering reliable data and a seamless project execution.

Results & Impact

The primary outcome of our survey is a definitive, actionable report that directly empowers your infrastructure management. This comprehensive document, complete with detailed cable route schematics and precise positional data, transforms future planning from reactive to proactive. The impact is significant: it enables your team to plan and execute essential cable replacements with unmatched accuracy, drastically reducing project timelines, minimizing excavation risks, and eliminating operational guesswork. Ultimately, this forward-looking asset provides a clear roadmap for maintaining the integrity of your critical navigation systems, ensuring long-term reliability and enhancing overall airside safety.
