Airfield, Airpark, & Airport Protection for Soft Ground

No More Closures Due to Rain or Mud

With TRUEGRID® reinforcement grids, your grass runways stay open all the time, your grass taxiways won’t rut, and your helipads are safe to land.  TRUEGRID® is an engineered systems to protect grass or gravel from compaction.  TRUEGRID® also drains allowing rainwater to pass through the system without saturating the ground — the ground remains stable and usable.

 

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Lay the TRUEGRID ROOT™ with the patented X-Anchors and Gripper Teeth up on the grass area.

Wet the grass and soil area thoroughly.

Press ROOT™ into the grass with a heavy roller. No anchors needed.

That’s it! Taxi, take-off and land on your stabilized ROOT™ grass runways and taxiways. No ruts.

Reinforced Grass Runways, Grass Taxiways & Helipads

Using TRUEGRID permeable pavers to protect grass runways, grass taxiways, grass helipads, and gravel parking lots and equipment yards at Airfields, Airports, Airstrips, and private grass runways.

SUPPORTED GRASS TAXIWAYS

TRUEGRID® is a durable, all-weather surface designed to drain and prevent rutting. Your plane will not sink into a muddy or wet area while taxiing. TRUEGRID® allows water to pass through keeping your grass taxiways open even after a rain event. A TRUEGRID® grass taxiway requires very little upkeep -- water, fertilization, and mowing -- just like a normal turf surface.

REINFORCED HELIPADS

Stronger than concrete, at over 8000 psi, TRUEGRID® provides a powerful, durable grass surface for safe helicopter take-offs and landings. TRUEGRID®'s patented Interlocking and self-anchoring design also provides for high-strength in vector loads, preventing any lateral movement. At a 60-year project lifespan, your TRUEGRID® reinforced grass helipad will last nearly three-times longer than a concrete one, saving you thousands of dollars over the life of your helipad.

AIRFIELD PARKING LOTS

TRUEGRID® permeable pavers can also be filled with gravel for a strong, unlimited traffic surface. TRUEGRID® can drain water up to 800 inches per hour and can remain open and usable even after the heaviest downpour. TRUEGRID® prevents the gravel from rutting, washboarding, and eroding -- saving your maintenance crew hours in repair time.

AIRPORT EQUIPMENT YARDS AND FUEL STATIONS

Even the heaviest trucks and vehicles can drive and park on TRUEGRID®. Fuel station access and vehicle equipment yards are ideal areas for TRUEGRID® gravel permeable paving. TRUEGRID® drains rainwater and prevents area closings due to mud and water -- your equipment yard and fuel station will remain open for business.

Increased Flying Days and Happier Airpark Residents

Berfore TRUEGRID® was installed, the afternoon rains would saturate the ground creating a muddy, impassable mess -- no place for a plane. After installation, the Wellington Aero Club is able to keep their runways, taxiways, and fuel station access roads open all the time.
