INFRASTRUCTURE - Aviation
Brief Introduction
Airport owners and operators often find themselves in an endless process of maintenance and reconstruction. A major factor is that each airport must maintain a large area of runway and lawn to ensure uninterrupted operation.
Geosynthetics provide many engineering solutions for airports, such as stormwater management and runway reinforcement, to meet the high environmental standards and performance requirements of today's airport design.
Geogrids
Geogrid is characterized by excellent durability, high rigidity, and strong tensile resistance, including low elongation. These factors can quickly, effectively, and safely disperse the pressure to maintain the integrity of the runway.
In addition, with excellent stress/strain characteristics, geogrids are ideal for stabilizing subgrade under fluctuating heavy loads.
Geomembranes
With high chemical and stress cracking resistance, geomembranes are durable products for easy installation.
Therefore, more and more geomembranes are used for containment in stormwater management.
Geotextiles
Needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles are suitable for filtration, protection, and drainage.
Moreover, they can withstand ultra-high water flow while providing high tensile strength and low elongation.
All in all, geosynthetics offer significant cost and environmental potential benefits by shortening construction times while extending service life.
