Airfield ground lighting contractors in Kent and across the UK
We are based at Little Westerhill Farm near Maidstone in Kent and install, core and maintain airfield ground lighting at UK airports. AGL work is out of hours by definition: the pits, ducting and cable chases sit in the runway and taxiway surface, so the work happens inside the closure and the pavement is handed back serviceable before the first movement. We cover Kent, London, Sussex and Essex directly from the yard, and mobilise nationally for longer programmes.
Two examples of the work: AGL coring at Stansted Airport and runway verge coring at Luton Airport.
The pit itself, how it is cored, set and connected, is covered under AGL pit installation and replacement.
