The quantity of EBS required depends on runway and aerodome area measurements, insitu material, aircraft specifications, and design specification required. Soil Solutions provides precise calculations through comprehensive site assessment and materials testing and design specification that meets ICOA compliance standards.
Key Calculation Factors:
Runway Dimensions: Length, width, and total surface area including shoulders and safety zones, taxiway, Apron, parking and Hanger areas.
Treatment Depth:
- Surface Seal only: 20-50mm depth
- Base stabilization: 150-300mm depth
- Full reconstruction: Custom depth based on requirements
Soil Characteristics:
- Moisture, Density, Plasticity, and particle size
Aircraft Classification: Surface design is based on type of Aircraft using the runway
- Light aircraft require lighter treatment specifications
- Medium aircraft need standard commercial specifications
- Heavy aircraft and jets require enhanced load-bearing treatment
Site-Specific Engineering:
Soil Solutions never provides generic estimates. Every project receives geotechnical assessment with soil samples analyzed to determine precise EBS dosage rates, mix design development with laboratory testing to establish exact EBS-to-soil ratios, aircraft load analysis to ensure specifications meet aircraft requirements, and detailed quantity calculations with precise material quantities.
Material Efficiency:
EBS treatment typically requires significantly less material volume compared to traditional aggregate importation, as it stabilizes existing in-situ matrial. This dramatically reduces material haulage, construction equipment requirements, project timelines, and overall budgets.
