The problem this software solves
Rubber build-up reducing friction
Reported by voice or chat, rubber build-up reducing friction is caught late and logged with no evidence tied to the asset.
Foreign object debris
Foreign object debris goes unrecorded between rounds, so there is no proof it was found, owned, or fixed.
Faded threshold markings
On a manual round faded threshold markings is easy to miss, and hard to defend to an auditor after the fact.
Unserviceable approach lighting
Unserviceable approach lighting lands in a photo thread with no owner, deadline, or audit trail behind it.
How the software solves it
InspectWrk runs the whole runway maintenance inspection cycle on one mobile system, from the scan to the signed-off report. Here is the loop your team follows.
- 1
Inspect
Open the right runway maintenance checklist by scanning the asset or location QR tag.
- 2
Capture
Record photos, readings, and signatures, offline where signal is poor.
- 3
Find
AI flags likely defects from the photo and the inspector confirms or overrides.
- 4
Correct
A failed item becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline.
- 5
Verify
The finding stays open until a named approver signs off proof of the fix.
- 6
Report
A branded report generates on close-out and dashboards update across sites.
Workflow
How Does Runway Maintenance Run from a Logged Defect to a Closed Work Order and PCI Record?
The maintenance round workflow, end to end: Register asset → Schedule → Perform work → Record findings → Raise work order → Verify → History. Every step happens on one system, so nothing falls between the field and the office.
- 1
Configure the Runway Maintenance Template
Across multi-site runway maintenance rounds, your runway controls become a mobile template with required photos and readings on pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris, aligned to ICAO Annex 14 and FAA Part 139, so every site inspects to the same standard from day one.
- 2
Capture the Runway Check in the Field
Inspectors complete the runway maintenance on iOS or Android, offline where signal is poor, recording friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo against each point before a named sign-off can close the round.
- 3
Route Runway Findings to Verified Closure
On every runway maintenance cycle, A failed item such as rubber build-up reducing friction becomes an owned task with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until photo proof of the fix is reviewed, so runway defects do not resurface unnoticed.
- 4
Report Runway Performance
Every runway maintenance feeds live dashboards and branded exports, so airside operations teams see completion, overdue actions, and risk per site without assembling a report by hand.
Capabilities
What the software handles for runway maintenance
The capabilities that matter for this workflow, and what your team can do with each one.
Chainage-referenced Defect Log
Every crack, spall, and surface defect is logged at a chainage point with a photo. Why it matters: a defect with no location is one a crew cannot find again before it grows into a closure.
Rubber Removal Scheduling
Touchdown-zone rubber removal is planned against friction readings and traffic counts. Why it matters: rubber build-up degrades braking action and is a runway-safety finding if left unaddressed.
AGL Lamp Outage Tracking
Edge, threshold, and centreline lamp outages are tagged to the fitting and routed to a crew. Why it matters: an unserviceable lamp affects declared distances and night operations.
Friction-test Interval Clocks
Friction and skid-resistance surveys carry their interval with staged alerts before they fall due. Why it matters: a missed friction survey is both a safety and a Part 139 record gap.
PCI History Per Section
Pavement Condition Index scores attach to each section and trend over time. Why it matters: a declining PCI is the early signal that drives planned rehabilitation instead of emergency repair.
Per-runway Evidence Export
A branded maintenance records pack exports per runway for the authority. Why it matters: an auditor request becomes a minutes-long export, not a logbook search.

Comparison
Paper and spreadsheets vs InspectWrk
Where paper and spreadsheets fall short against InspectWrk on the runway maintenance inspection job.
| Capability | Paper / spreadsheets | With InspectWrk |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection execution | Checks like pavement cracking and rubber deposits are run on paper or from memory, so coverage and cadence vary by inspector and shift. | Guided runway maintenance templates run the same way every time, with required fields and photos before sign-off. |
| Evidence capture | Photos sit on personal phones and in chat threads with no link to the asset or the check. | Evidence attaches to the record at the point of work, with inspector, timestamp, and location. |
| Defect identification | A fault such as rubber build-up reducing friction is spotted late or missed entirely between rounds. | AI surfaces likely defects from the photo and the inspector confirms the finding on the spot. |
| Corrective action | Failed items are noted but ownership, deadlines, and proof of the fix are unclear. | Each failure becomes a tracked action with an owner, a due date, and photo-verified closure. |
| Reporting | Reports are assembled by hand and ICAO Annex 14 evidence is hard to retrieve, days after the round. | Reports generate on close-out aligned to ICAO Annex 14, and managers see status across every site live. |
Rollout
How Should an Airport Pilot Digital Runway Maintenance Before Rolling It Out to Every Pavement?
Pilot on One Runway
Start with a single runway so the pavement sections, AGL circuits, and friction-test intervals are validated against real chainage and fitting references before rollout to taxiways, aprons, and a second runway.
Access and Roles
Maintenance crews get defect capture and work-order closure, the pavement engineer gets PCI and friction visibility, and the maintenance manager gets the full open-work and overdue view through role-based access.
Before You Switch
Common Questions Before You Start
We already run runway maintenance checks on paper. Do we have to change our process?
No. Your existing checklist becomes a mobile template, so the same checks run with photos, timestamps, and named sign-off attached. Only the capture changes.
Will field teams actually use it?
The check runs on the device they already carry, works offline where signal drops, and opens the right checklist from a QR scan, so there is no typing from memory.
What happens when a defect is found?
It becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until a named approver verifies the fix with photo proof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Runway Maintenance Software
What does Runway Maintenance Software check on a runway maintenance?
Runway Maintenance Software runs planned runway maintenance covering pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris. Each task is scheduled per asset and completed on mobile with photo evidence, then logged to the service history, so airside operations teams can prove upkeep happened on time. Catching rubber build-up reducing friction on a planned visit avoids a reactive breakdown later. Due dates and overdue tasks surface on the dashboard before a service quietly lapses, which is the common and expensive gap when schedules live in a spreadsheet.
How often should a runway maintenance be done?
How often runway checks run depends on duty, risk, and the standard you follow. Some are daily or pre-use; others run weekly, monthly, or at a statutory interval. Runway Maintenance Software sets the cadence per site, reminds airside operations teams before a round is due, and flags anything overdue automatically. Each completed round is timestamped and signed, so the schedule is provably kept rather than assumed, and you can show exactly when the last check happened for any asset. Runway Maintenance Software lets aviation teams run runway maintenance checks the same way on every visit, with photos and a sign-off on each runway.
Which runway defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The maintenance targets the runway failures that matter most: rubber build-up reducing friction, foreign object debris, faded threshold markings, and unserviceable approach lighting. Left unchecked, a fault such as rubber build-up reducing friction can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so airside operations teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Runway Maintenance Software support for runway work?
Runway Maintenance Software keeps runway checks aligned to ICAO Annex 14 and FAA Part 139. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, airside operations teams export a branded evidence pack built from friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo, ready to hand over on the spot. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run runway checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Runway Maintenance Software is offline-first: teams complete runway checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So airside operations teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a plant room or basement never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a runway maintenance was completed?
Every completed runway maintenance carries friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, airside operations teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
