Cleared for Take off - FODS Launches Proactive FOD Prevention Solution at 93rd Annual AAAE Conference and Exposition, July 11-13, Las Vegas
FODS will introduce our new FOD Prevention Mat Solution to the Aviation Industry at the 93rd Annual American Association of Airport Executives Conference and Exposition, Booth 228, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV, July 11-13.
FOD (Foreign Object Debris) is synonymous with FOD (Foreign Object Damage) and can interfere with aircraft manufacturing plants and airport operations, costing billions of dollars in damages annually.
While the aviation industry has evolved with automated systems to detect damaging debris, including lasers and radar, removal procedures still rely on traditional methods like FOD walks, runway sweeping, and manual tire inspections. These traditional removal methods are reactive, addressing the problem of FOD after its already on the airfield.
Manual tire inspections at airside entrances, while effective, can also be time consuming and inconsistent. Internal traffic such as fuel trucks and other ground support vehicles present a FOD risks that are not addressed by manual inspections.
That’s why we engineered a FOE (foreign object elimination) system to address this perpetual problem and to STOP FOD IN ITS TRACKS!
Place our FOD Prevention System of mats at your airfield entrances and on your internal access roads to eliminate and minimize FOD before it can enter the airside.
As ground support vehicles travel across the top 1/2” of our mats, the pyramids work to actively compress and stretch tires without damage to the tire. Alternating rows of pyramids are effective at trapping debris into the base of the mats. FOD will not stick to subsequent vehicles - providing that added layer of protection against FOD that every airport needs.
With minimal installation and maintenance time, our system will not interrupt runway operations and can be anchored to any substrate including asphalt and concrete.
FOD Prevention Mats are durable, cost effective, and are 100% Made in the USA!
Specialists from FODS will be at Booth 228 to demonstrate how our proactive FOD Prevention Mats work.
