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 tons of aggregate over long distances. If local material requires improvement, only minimal import is necessary, or complementary technologies including Airstrip liners or geotextiles may be utilized.
Minimal Equipment Requirements: EBS application requires standard road construction equipment—graders, compactors, water trucks—nothing specialized or difficult to mobilize to remote areas.
Rapid Curing: EBS-treated surfaces cure quickly, allowing aircraft operations within days rather than weeks. When required and depending upon the scope of work the runway may remain operational.
Typical Remote Construction Timeline:
Site preparation and grading (2-4 days), material processing and EBS stabilization (3-5 days), compaction and shaping (2-3 days), and EBS Surface Seal application (3-4 days). Total construction time: 10-18 days depending on runway size and conditions, additional areas and existing drainage.
