Mavisoft / Solutions / Airport Inspector

Airfield pavement inspection with 100% coverage and ASTM D5340 PCI ratings.

Airport Inspector turns laser, vehicle or drone survey data into ASTM D5340 PCI ratings per sample unit and section, year-over-year condition trends, and GIS-ready output. In operational use at Schiphol since 2023.

What Airport Inspector does

Annual pavement inspection. Full coverage. Machine-classified.

Airport Inspector runs across your full airfield and delivers ASTM D5340 PCI ratings per sample unit and section, year-over-year condition trends, and GIS-ready output, so damage is found earlier and maintenance is planned on evidence rather than a sample.

01 — Inspect

100% coverage, every time.

Most airports sample a subset of units and hold no PCI record for the rest. Airport Inspector records every sample unit every cycle: cracking, joint-seal damage, spalling, patching and surface wear, on concrete and asphalt. Damage is picked up the first time it shows, so it is repaired before it grows.

02 — Classify

ASTM D5340 PCI ratings, consistent and machine-generated.

Every defect is classified to ASTM D5340 and rolled up to a PCI rating per sample unit and section. The same classification logic runs on every survey, every year, so results are directly comparable across cycles. Your own action thresholds decide the maintenance response.

03 — Report

Year-over-year trends and GIS-ready data.

Every run produces condition maps, PCI per sample unit and section, and a trend per stand: where condition is declining, how fast, and whether last cycle's repairs were carried out. Year-over-year comparison is built in, and your asset management system ingests the output directly, without manual re-entry.

Proven at Schiphol

100% pavement coverage. In operational use since 2023.
Validated by the maintenance contractor.

“The inspection and assessment process, and subsequent rendering into a PCI report and geographical diverse information, is fully digital and automated.”

05.1

Every defect mapped and classified.

Each crack, joint and repair instance is detected, typed and placed on the grid: an auditable record of exactly what was found, where, and in which cycle.

05.2

Find it early, or replace it later.

Asset health falls over time. Caught early, a small intervention extends service life; missed, the same distress becomes a closure and a reconstruction. A trend per sample unit shows which way each part of the airfield is heading.

How it works

Survey to PCI-rated condition map in one run.

01

Capture pavement data

LCMS pass, survey vehicle or drone flight across the full airfield, to our capture specification. Self-serve upload or managed delivery.

02

AI classifies every defect

Cracking, joint damage, spalling and repairs are detected, classified to ASTM D5340, and rolled up to PCI per sample unit and section.

03

Year-over-year comparison built in

Results are mapped to the same coordinate reference as prior runs. Condition change is visible without manual cross-referencing.

04

Export for maintenance planning

GeoJSON, condition maps and PDF inspection reports, validated with your maintenance contractor. Priority lists route directly into your asset management system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

No. You can use Mavisoft's preferred partner SWIC, already active globally, or bring your existing LCMS subcontractor. Airport Inspector processes the data package they deliver. No proprietary capture hardware required.

At Schiphol the results are validated by the airport's maintenance contractor before they drive work, and every defect is classified consistently to ASTM D5340 rather than by individual judgement on the day.

Yes. Every detection references the exact model version, workflow version, and zone-set that produced it. Findings are reproducible and auditable long after the inspection runs.

Your airfield team or their designated contractor. Users of Airport Inspector will have access to Spectra to manage, validate, and export their inspections results.

One apron or one runway, with a defined scope, price and timeline: results within six weeks of an accepted dataset, a validation session with your maintenance contractor, and a written decision before anything wider.
