How can the longevity of airport walkways be guaranteed while controlling risks? Apave, a specialist in this field and particularly in the diagnosis of metal structures, offers a comprehensive method that combines strategic thinking, asset management, mechanical behaviour analysis, non-destructive testing and targeted inspection.
"With around 100 walkways already inspected for the ADP Group since 2021,this proven solution is based on a threestep approach: detailed digital modelling, identification of critical areas, and on-site intervention using cutting-edge methods such as ACFM to detect fatigue cracks," explains Nicolas Queva, Unit Manager.

This ability to adjust the method according to needs and available data is Apave's real strength. "Beyond the technical aspects, individualised support is our priority anguides us in all the recommendations we make, whatever the stage of the process." The result is a triple benefit for the operator: safety, cost savings and a positive environmental impact.
