MESA, Ariz. — Every year, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport undergoes an intense, week long certification and compliance inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This inspection, completed at all commercial airports nationwide, is to ensure that airports are following national safety standards. This year, Gateway Airport passed the FAA Part 139-Certification and Operations Inspection with flying colors.
“Gateway Airport is very fortunate to have no reportable conditions or items needing correction this year,” said J. Brian O’Neill, A.A.E. Executive Director/CEO of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority. “It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our operations team that oversee nearly 6 miles of runway, an airport footprint of 4.7 square miles, and a commercial passenger terminal that handles more than 1.3 million passengers a year.”
Included in a FAA Part 139 - Certification and Operations Inspection is a review of:
· Airport rescue/firefighting equipment, training, and response times
· Airport Emergency Plan (AEP)
· Operations/maintenance personnel training and performance
· All paved/unpaved safety areas and runway approaches
· All airfield markings and lighting
· Airport's self-inspection program

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
