Airports

Drainage of runways, cable protection and airport infrastructure

The Challenge

Airports operate 24/7 and cannot tolerate infrastructure failures. The modernization and expansion of Brazilian airports require lightweight, durable, and quick-to-install solutions for cable protection and drainage of runways and platforms.

Techduto provides HDPE pipes for cable protection of marking, signaling, and power cables, as well as drainage of runways and operational areas. Our corrugated pipes are lightweight, resistant, and meet NBR 15715 standards.

With diameters up to 250mm and a resistance of up to 1,000N (diameters up to 200mm), our pipes are ideal for airport underground infrastructure – rapid installation during nighttime windows without affecting operations.

Challenges and Solutions

How Techduto addresses each challenge in Airports

Unprotected warning cables

Techduto NBR and Tape protect runway lighting cables from moisture, rodents and damage during maintenance work.

Water accumulation on runways and aprons

Techdreno NBR quickly removes rainwater, keeping operational areas safe during heavy rainfall.

Traditional methods consume excessive time

HDPE is lightweight and quick to connect — installation in nighttime windows without disrupting daytime operations.

High costs with conventional materials

HDPE with a lifespan of 50+ years offers the lowest total cost of ownership over the lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Airports

The Techduto NBR according to NBR 15715 is indicated for protection of beaconing and signaling cables. For curved sections, the DutoSeal Tape offers additional flexibility.

Minimally. Our HDPE pipes are lightweight and quick to install. The works can be scheduled in nighttime windows or periods of low movement.

HDPE has a proven lifespan of over 50 years. It does not corrode, does not crack and maintains structural integrity for decades — ideal for long-term buried infrastructure.

Yes. Our ducts meet NBR 15715 and are compatible with the technical specifications of airport infrastructure.
