Applications/solutions | Helipads & Airfields
Aircraft apply very high 'point loadings' to the surfaces on which they manoeuvre and can easily sink into soft grass surfaces if not reinforced. ADP can provide sufficient reinforcement and drainage capability to be enable aircraft to manoeuvre on grass.

TechTurf
A load bearing grass surface proven to be suitable for runway and taxiway verge areas and other grassed areas that may have to endure airfield maintenance traffic. The system offers the following advantages:
Support for maintenance vehicles in all seasons
Improved safety for emergency vehicle access
Reduced surface water run-off
ADpave 50
A unique flexible interlocking grass paver that offers excellent traffic tolerance. It provides an excellent solution for more regularly trafficked grass areas such as access roadways and light aircraft parking areas. The flexible structure allows the surface to follow undulations and accept differential settlement while maintaining continuity at all joints. ADpave 50 offers:
A higher tolerance of regular traffic
Resistance to surface damage and erosion
Reduced surface water run-off
ADpave 25
A flexible, interlocking paving system designed to be laid on top of existing grass. Suitable for light traffic applications.
GrassRoute
A heavy duty, durable HDPE grid which is installed directly on top of existing grass and provides excellent traction for vehicles including light aircraft. Supplied on a roll it is economic and very easy to install.
Turfguard
A tough flexible mesh to improve the wear tolerance of grassed areas. It has proven to be suitable for the improvement of grass taxiways and parking areas for light aircraft.
ERAS
ERAS - Engineered Rootzone Arrestor System, comprises a ADP TechTurf surface overlying a low stability base. The composite system is designed to deform under wheel loading to reduce aircraft stopping distance. The system is currently under development. ERAS offers:
Low maintenance cost
Simple installation using conventional plant and skills
Rapid surface repair/replacement
Capability to support ARFF vehicles
Permeable surface
