Wellsprint provides a cleaning service for airport equipment at the 24th Transport Aviation Base in Prague–Kbely
About the 24th Transport Aviation Base
The 24th Transport Aviation Base in Prague-Kbely is a strategic component of the Czech Armed Forces Air Force. It carries out key transport tasks for the armed forces and the state, as well as government flights, humanitarian missions and the air rescue service. The operation of this modern air base depends on the continuous running of an extensive fleet of specialised airport and logistics equipment. As the aircraft operate in demanding conditions and on a 24/7 basis, their impeccable technical condition, cleanliness and environmentally friendly maintenance, carried out directly within the strictly guarded airport grounds, are absolutely critical to the safety of all air operations.
Summary of cooperation
Specialised cleaning of equipment that ensures the day-to-day operation of a military airfield
Wellsprint provides comprehensive cleaning services for the 24th Air Transport Base at Prague–Kbely for the airport equipment used in air traffic control, ground handling of aircraft and the operation of the military airfield.
The project involves the regular cleaning of a wide range of specialised vehicles and equipment that are essential for the safe operation of the Czech Army’s air base.
Wellsprint provides
- Comprehensive manual washing of a wide range of specialised airport equipment
- Cleaning of difficult-to-reach areas, including engine compartments, chassis and power units
- Environmentally friendly treatment and disposal of wastewater directly on the Kbely Airport site
- Delivery of services whilst the air base remains fully operational, without any disruption to its operations
THE PROBLEM WE HELPED SOLVE
Demanding technology in continuous operation
Airport equipment operates all year round in demanding conditions. During the winter months, it comes into contact with de-icing agents; throughout the year, it is exposed to operating fluids, oils, fuels, dust and other contaminants generated by aviation operations.
Regular professional cleaning is not just a matter of the equipment’s appearance, but above all:
- extends its service life,
- facilitates servicing and technical inspections,
- helps prevent corrosion,
- improves operational safety,
- enables the early detection of faults and leaks.
Scope of services provided
As part of the contract, Wellsprint provides a manual cleaning service for individual parts of airport equipment, depending on the type of equipment and the operator’s requirements.
Cleaning mainly involves:
- vehicle chassis components,
- engine compartments,
- specialised equipment attachments,
- process units and auxiliary equipment.
As part of the project, we wash:
- aircraft tow trucks,
- airport sweepers,
- snow blowers,
- spreaders and sprayers,
- handling equipment,
- platforms,
- de-icing equipment,
- baggage conveyors,
- portable power sources for aircraft,
- air-conditioning units and other specialised airport equipment.
the solution we proposed
An environmentally friendly solution on the customer’s premises
All work is being carried out directly on the premises of the Prague–Kbely military airfield. The project places particular emphasis on an environmentally responsible approach and the proper management of wastewater generated during the cleaning of equipment.
Wellsprint utilises technology for the environmentally friendly treatment of waste water in accordance with current legislation. This approach enables treatment to be carried out directly on site, without the need to move equipment off the airport premises.
How is the project being carried out?
Following consultation with the relevant personnel at the air base, the equipment is gradually brought round for washing in line with current operational requirements.
Every piece of equipment undergoes a visual inspection to check the quality of the work carried out and is only handed over once it meets the required cleanliness standards. This ensures a high standard of service without disrupting normal airport operations.
