Markets We Serve
Aviation & Airport Electrical
Apron, hangar, terminal and airfield electrical work on operations that never close.
Aviation concentrates every constraint we design around elsewhere: continuous twenty-four-hour operation, security-controlled access, outage windows measured in hours, and inspection regimes that leave no room for a correction notice. It is the reference we point commercial clients to when they ask whether we can work inside their occupied building.
The operation never stops
There is no overnight shutdown to work around, because there is no overnight. Work is sequenced into narrow windows agreed in advance and it finishes inside them.
Access is controlled and escorted
Badged crews, movement-area authorisation and escort requirements shape the schedule as much as the scope does. We plan labour around access, not the other way round.
Reach and aiming
Apron and airfield lighting sits on high-mast poles aimed to a photometric plan. It is specialist work most electrical contractors subcontract.
Capabilities
What we deliver in aviation
- Apron, ramp and gate lighting
- High-mast pole installation, aiming and servicing
- Maintenance hangar high-bay lighting
- Terminal and concourse lighting
- Airfield and landside roadway lighting
- Parking structure and landside site lighting
- Escorted airfield work in controlled movement areas
- Ongoing service and scheduled maintenance
Aiming decides whether apron lighting works
Apron and high-mast lighting is aimed to a photometric plan that produces a designed uniformity across the movement area. Aiming is not approximate work — a fixture a few degrees off produces glare into the operating area or a dark gap where ground crews work.
This matters most on LED conversion. LED optics do not distribute light the way the metal halide fixtures they replace did, so reusing the original aiming angles reliably produces worse lighting than what was there before. It is the single most common failure we are called in to correct.
- Photometric plan verification before and after installation
- Field-measured uniformity across the apron surface
- Glare control toward flight deck and ground crew positions
- Lowering-device inspection, repair and servicing
- Pole foundation, grounding and lightning protection
- Fixture aiming documented and re-verified after any change
Access governs the schedule
Airside work runs on badging, escort and movement-area authorisation. Those constraints shape manpower planning more than the scope does — a crew that cannot get to the work is idle regardless of how many electricians are on it.
We plan labour around access windows, stage material inside the secure area in advance where permitted, and size crews to finish inside the window rather than to a comfortable day rate.
Hangar lighting is its own problem
Maintenance hangars combine very high mounting heights with a requirement for excellent colour rendering, because technicians are performing detailed inspection work and colour-coded identification at height and in shadow.
High CRI matters here for the same reason it matters in retail, but the consequence of getting it wrong is a missed defect rather than an unsold garment. Add the shadowing created by an aircraft itself and the layout requires more thought than an equivalent warehouse.
Relevant services
What we most often do in this market
High-Mast & Sports Lighting
Apron, airfield, roadway and sports lighting — the tall poles most electrical contractors are not equipped to touch.
Learn more →Exterior & Site Lighting
Parking, facade, canopy and security lighting — the first thing a customer sees and the last thing anyone budgets for.
Learn more →Networked Lighting Controls
Systems where every fixture is individually addressable, monitored and adjustable — the difference between switching lights and managing them.
Learn more →IR Testing
Thermographic scanning that finds failing connections and overloaded circuits before they cause downtime.
Learn more →Common questions
Have you worked at Denver International Airport?
Yes. EVO has delivered electrical and lighting work across the airport and continues to, alongside work for airline facilities on site.
Can your crews work airside?
Yes. Airside work requires badging, escort and movement-area authorisation, with tightly scheduled windows. We staff and plan for those conditions as normal practice.
Do you service high-mast apron lighting?
Yes — installation, aiming, photometric verification, lowering-device servicing and LED conversion. Aiming in particular is where most apron retrofits go wrong.
