Absolute Altitude: Airport Consulting that Sees Farther
Looking for a partner to tackle today’s airport challenges and help plan for the future? Prein&Newhof have been designing airports for over 40 years. We have a deep understanding of industry trends, FAA regulations, and the needs of airports both large and small.
Since designing our first airport project in 1982, we’ve worked on hundreds of projects across Michigan, both airside and landside. Our team is dedicated to providing efficient, effective solutions, working seamlessly with airport staff to address challenges and deliver results.
We’ve earned a strong reputation for innovative design, exceptional construction support, and personalized service, having partnered with 40 general aviation and air carrier airports across the state. Let us bring our expertise to your next project.
Our airport consulting services include:
- Airport Planning: We can assist you with strategic and operational planning to support airport development and efficient use of resources.
- ALP & Exhibit A Updates: We know the process for updating to Airport Layout Plans and airport property maps for compliance and planning.
- Airfield Engineering: Runways, Taxiways, & Aprons: We design airfield surfaces for aircraft movement and parking.
- Electrical Systems & Navigational Aids Design: We design airfield electrical systems for runway and taxiway lighting, airfield guidance signs, visual navigational aids and have designed communications networks for control systems. Most new types of airfield lighting equipment have LED options available.
- Landside Infrastructure; Streets, Parking Lots & Utilities: We plan and design non-airfield infrastructure, such as entrance roads and parking areas including signage for wayfinding. Our firm was established on utility design and applies this expertise to public (water and wastewater) and private utility systems for airports.

- Fencing & Gate Systems: We design fencing for both security and wildlife control including gates and access control systems.

- Stormwater Design & Construction/Industrial Permitting: We are well-versed in designing systems to manage rainwater and comply with environmental regulations.
With our comprehensive range of services, we handle complex projects in-house, including planning, airfield design, stormwater management, and environmental consulting and testing. We also maintain strong relationships with key agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration, MDOT Office of Aeronautics, EGLE and MDNR.
