Safety and compliance in complex environments
Safety is critical in aviation, requiring strict regulatory compliance in daily operations and asset upgrades. With advancements in technology, contractors bring fresh perspectives and cross-sector expertise, helping airport operators to enhance safety, meet regulations, and improve outcomes.
How Downer delivers:
EMAS Technology
As Australasia’s sole contractor installing Engineered Materials Arrestor Systems (EMAS) to safely decelerate aircraft in overrun situations, we are well-placed to deliver this and other leading solutions. Our airport’s teams are currently delivering the first two EMAS projects in the region.
In live airport environments we deploy technologies like telematics, geofencing, and AI-driven machine control. These tools enhance precision, reduce risks near aircraft, and prevent hazards such as Foreign Object Debris (FOD).

Data-Driven Insights
Our mobile data systems, like Pegasus, improve data accuracy and reduce airside access time, enhancing safety and efficiency for Australian and New Zealand airports.
Runway Friction Solutions
Using technologies such as grip testers and advanced materials, we help maintain surface friction to ensure safe take-offs and landings.
By integrating cutting-edge technology with decades of expertise, Downer collaborates with airport operators and consultants to deliver safer, compliant, and efficient outcomes.
In a major milestone for aviation safety, we are proud to be the sole Australasian contractor currently installing Engineered Materials Arrestor Systems (EMAS).
