Airports

 

The high safety requirements of the air transport industry places great demands on men, materials and technology. The heavy loads on airport runways, take-off and landing strips require safe and reliable technical solutions. Geosynthetics contribute in many different ways to the safety of air travel.

High-strength woven fabrics and geogrids stabilize and reinforce the structural layers of airport runways, take-off and landing strips and thus increase their load-carrying capacity.

Asphalt reinforcement grids reinforce asphalt and prevent or delay the onset of reflective cracking in the runway surface caused by temperature variations and fatigue due to aircraft loads. Areas typically prone to this type of cracking include asphalt surfacing over old concrete runway slabs (expansion joints) and distressed blacktop runway construction.

Nonwoven fabric is used to de-water the sub-surface construction layers. It is used as a filter and drainage medium or as a separation layer between the structural layers and the formation or runway foundation. The materials forming the foundation and the surfacing can be protected from groundwater by the use of bentonite mats.
