Repair, Refurbish, Renew

IAVNA Repair, Refurbishment, Renew Service

Airfield Lighting Systems presents its Repair, Refurbish, Renew service — a smart, sustainable alternative to full replacement of airfield ground lighting (AGL) equipment. We specialize in restoring runway edge, threshold, centreline, taxiway inset, elevated lights, approach systems, and signage to like-new performance. Our brand-neutral expertise covers halogen, LED, hybrid, and legacy fixtures from manufacturers including ADB SAFEGATE, OCEM, Eaton Crouse-Hinds, and Honeywell/Thorn.

The process includes full disassembly, corrosion treatment, replacement of seals, glands and connectors, thorough optical cleaning, prism realignment, and optional upgrades such as Sapphire coating or complete LED conversion. Every unit is tested electrically and photometrically using advanced MALMS equipment to meet ICAO Annex 14 and FAA AC150/5345 standards, with full traceability and a Refurbishment Certificate provided.

Refurbishment delivers major cost savings over new purchases, reduces embedded carbon by 60–80%, cuts landfill waste, and supports ESG commitments, ICAO environmental goals, and UN Sustainable Development objectives. With optional 24-month warranties, predictive maintenance, global logistics, loan stock to minimize downtime, and fast-track emergency options, we extend asset life by 5–10+ years while ensuring maximum safety and reliability.

Scope of Refurbishment

  • Runway edge, threshold, and centreline fittings
  • Taxiway inset and elevated lights
  • Approach lighting systems
  • Inset and can-mounted fixtures
  • AGL signage units
  • Associated housings, connectors, cabling, and hardware

Compatible with:

  • Halogen systems

  • Full mechanical strip-down and inspection
  • Replacement of seals, glands, connectors and worn components
  • Housing restoration, corrosion removal and recoating
  • Optical cleaning and prism realignment (including upgrade to add a Sapphire coating)
  • Electrical integrity testing
  • Insulation resistance and continuity testing
  • Waterproofing and IP validation
  • Torque and seal verification

Assurance

Every fixture is photometrically tested using a MALMS testing system to verify compliance with:

  • ICAO Annex 14
  • FAA AC150/5345

Each unit is supplied with a Refurbishment Certificate including full traceability and test results.

Optional 24-month performance warranty available.

This helps reduce landfill and extends the life of the fittings on the airfield.  Please call for more details or to discuss a refurbishment project.
