Abstract

The article analyzes technologies for cleaning the runway from rubber rolling, special attention is paid to the water jet method, which has proven itself to be one of the most profitable and effective. The process of accumulation of rubber plaque and its impact on the safety of air transportation is considered. The effectiveness of water purification is evaluated in comparison with traditional mechanical methods and chemical solutions, which allows us to identify the advantages of the water jet method, including minimizing damage to the runway surface and environmental cleanliness. The article also includes an assessment of the costs and time resources required to implement the chemical method, as well as consideration of practical examples of its application at various airfields. The authors of the article concluded that the most effective cleaning methods for Russia are shot blasting and water jet methods. The article will be useful to specialists in the field of aviation security and airfield management.
