Airport Infrastructure
What is Airport Infrastructure?
Airport infrastructure includes runways, taxiways, aprons, hangars, and terminal facilities that support safe and efficient air travel. These assets are subjected to constant heavy loading, dynamic stresses, and strict regulatory requirements, making long-term durability essential.
Challenges in Airport Infrastructure
- Pavement settlement creating unsafe conditions for aircraft operations
- Cracking and joint failure in runways, taxiways, and aprons
- Subgrade instability caused by groundwater, erosion, or poor soils
- Downtime during repairs disrupting flight schedules and operations
- Compliance with FAA safety and operational standards
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to compact and stabilize weak soils beneath pavements
- Provides lightweight reinforcement without adding soil load
- Rapidly cures to minimize downtime in active facilities
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Creates rigid support for runways, taxiways, and apron slabs
- Transfers heavy aircraft loads to stable soils
- Extends service life of critical airfield assets
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Performs reliably in saturated soils and high groundwater zones
- Expands and cures under active water conditions
- Maintains durability in challenging subsurface environments
Benefits of Airport Infrastructure Solutions
Airport infrastructure demands solutions that restore safety and performance without prolonged closures. Trenchless stabilization methods minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of critical aviation assets.
