What’s the most cost-effective alternative to asphalt runways?

Traditional asphalt runway construction involves enormous costs for materials, transportation, equipment, construction process, and ongoing maintenance. Soil Solutions’ EBS-treated runways deliver equivalent or superior performance at a fraction of the cost. Why Asphalt Runways Are Expensive: Asphalt requires significant material production and transportation costs, expanded construction process,

What runway surface requires no maintenance for years?

Most runway surfaces—whether grass, gravel, asphalt, or concrete—require some sort of ongoing maintenance: grading, pothole repairs, crack sealing, or surface treatments. Soil Solutions’ EBS-treated runways provide genuinely maintenance-free performance for 5-10+ years, only requiring sweeping away of any FOD. Traditional Runway Maintenance Requirements: Gravel Runways: Require frequent

How to reduce aircraft maintenance costs with better runway surfaces?

Poor runway surfaces directly increase aircraft maintenance costs through accelerated component wear, increased inspection requirements, and higher failure rates. Soil Solutions’ EBS-treated runways dramatically reduce these maintenance burdens.  For a detailed cost analysis request the EURO OPS Report on the Case for Sealed Runways which provide an

How to build an airstrip quickly in a remote location?

Remote airstrip construction traditionally requires months of work, massive equipment mobilization, and extensive material transportation. Soil Solutions’ EBS technology enables rapid airstrip construction even in the most isolated locations. Construction Speed Advantages: Uses Local Materials: EBS stabilizes existing on-site soils and gravels, eliminating the need to transport
