Safeguarding

Development in the vicinity of airports must be controlled to ensure that the safety and effectiveness of air operations are not impaired. Therefore, it is essential that any proposed building developments are assessed to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the airport operation or aircraft safety.

Technical Safeguarding
Cyrrus uses highly advanced software to enable computer simulations of Instrument Landing System, Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range, Distance Measuring Equipment and radar performance. The resulting modelling enables us to assess the effect of proposed developments on air operations, and to offer mitigation to allow maximum development to be undertaken without compromising aviation safety and efficiency.

Obstacle Safeguarding
Cyrrus utilises 3D computer modelling of the obstacle environment to assess the effect of proposed developments on Obstacle Limitation Surfaces and Instrument Flight Procedures. Cyrrus also develops bespoke safeguarding criteria and maps for airports and facility operators. Advanced graphics are used to create easily interpreted user-friendly presentations.
