In preparation for the introduction of Airbus A380, Sydney Airports Corporation Limited (SACL) commissioned a study of available systems for the runway flank protection. As the new planes wing span would be considerably larger than any of the existing aircraft servicing Sydney, it was recognised that the airports runway aprons would need to be extended to prevent loose material and debris damaging the planes engines. EarthTEC planned each work activity with military precision, timing load and delivery cycles and incorporating potential weather delays, security procedures and traffic problems.
