Houston, TX Airport Sweeping

On airport pavement, loose hardware and debris are foreign object debris, among the most preventable sources of aircraft damage. Moore Clean sweeps cargo aprons, FBO ramps, parking structures, and landside roads across Greater Houston with regenerative-air equipment and the documentation operators keep on file.

Clean surface, protected aircraft

Moore Clean is available for airport sweeping across Greater Houston, serving cargo aprons, FBO ramps, hangar rows, and the parking structures and access roads on the landside. We are available for airport cleanup services spanning the landside zones at George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby, the corporate fields at Sugar Land Regional and David Wayne Hooks Memorial, and Conroe-North Houston Regional, with crews dispatched from our Fisher Street facility.

Foreign object debris does its damage quietly: a bolt on a ramp, spalled concrete at a gate, wind-blown trash along a fence line. A regenerative-air sweeper vacuums that material off the pavement instead of relocating it across the field. Sweeping earns its keep as an environmental control too, keeping silt and debris out of the storm system that drains every acre of airfield pavement.

Houston weather does not help pavement stay clean. Gulf storms wash silt, vegetation, and site debris onto aprons and access roads, and the region’s cargo and energy-sector traffic keeps heavy vehicles moving across airfield pavement year round. Scheduled sweeps put that material in a hopper before it reaches a tire path or an intake.

What’s included

Airside and landside, on your ops windows

Crews work to your movement schedule, your escort requirements, and your FOD program:

  • Apron, ramp & gate-area sweeping between operations
  • Taxiway & shoulder sweeping in coordination with ops
  • Landside roads, curbs & parking structures
  • Post-construction FOD sweeps before pavement returns to service
  • Service logs suitable for your Part 139 inspection file

Airport routes draw on the same sweeper fleet as our street and parking work. Depending on the facility, that can mean Schwarze A7 Tornado, A4 Storm, or TYMCO 435 class machines, M6 Avalanche broom trucks, compact units for gate areas and tight ramp corners, or a mix, with equipment matched to the site rather than fixed in advance. Facilities that pair airside sweeping with landside upkeep typically add parking lot sweeping on the same visit.

Why it matters

FOD control as a regulatory requirement

Part 139 airports are required to keep paved operating areas free of foreign object debris. 14 CFR §139.305 puts it in the pavement maintenance standard itself, and FAA AC 150/5210-24A lays out what a FOD management program looks like: detection, removal, and records. Sweeping is the removal leg of that triangle.

General aviation fields and private ramps are not held to Part 139 standards, but the operational risk is the same: foreign object debris damages engines, tires, and propellers regardless of a facility’s classification. We apply the same sweeping and documentation standard at every field we serve.

Where we sweep

Airport sweeping across Greater Houston

From the landside zones at Bush Intercontinental and Hobby through the corporate fields at Sugar Land Regional, David Wayne Hooks Memorial, and Conroe-North Houston Regional, plus the industrial airparks along the freight corridors, routes cover commercial, corporate, and general aviation pavement on scheduled visits. Post-storm sweeps clear silt and vegetation off aprons and access roads, and post-construction FOD sweeps clear new pavement before it returns to service.

Deep-clean option

Special Projects: Cyclone deep-clean surface system

Special project equipment option: Some airport pavement needs more than sweeping, such as years of gum, grease, and embedded grime on terminal curbfronts, parking garage decks, and FBO ramp corners. For those jobs we bring in a Cyclone Technology high-pressure surface system, rented for the projects that call for it.

The Cyclone’s enclosed cleaning head recovers wash water and slurry the moment it lifts off the pavement, cleaning up to 20,000 square feet an hour with no runoff to the curb. That containment is what the EPA’s stormwater best management practices call for on commercial wash-downs, and it leaves surfaces clean, dry, and back in service the same visit.

Questions

Houston airport sweeping FAQ

Can your crews work airside?

Yes. Crews carry insurance to airport requirements, complete badging or work under escort per your access rules, and coordinate every movement with operations. We plan sweeps around your ops windows, including overnight.

Which Houston-area airports do you serve?

We are available for the region’s commercial, corporate, and general aviation fields, from the landside and cargo zones at Bush Intercontinental and Hobby to the FBO ramps at Sugar Land Regional, David Wayne Hooks Memorial, and Conroe-North Houston Regional. If your field or airpark is not named here, ask. The coverage area is wider than the examples, and route scheduling is flexible.

Do you provide documentation for Part 139 inspections?

Every sweep produces a dated log with GPS tracking that can be filed with your pavement-maintenance records. If your FOD program uses a specific format, send it over and we will do our best to match it.

When do routes run?

We are available around your operations. Apron and ramp work can run overnight or between banks of activity, when pavement is clear and escorts are easiest to schedule. Landside roads, garages, and curbfronts can run daytime where access allows, and post-construction sweeps are scheduled against your contractor’s turnover date.
