Abstract: A method for installing artificial turf at an airport or airfield includes removing or milling a portion of an airport runway or taxiway to create a new surface of the runway or taxiway, adhering a section of artificial turf to the new surface of the runway or taxiway and applying an infill to at least a portion of the artificial turf. An artificial turf system for an airport includes an airport runway or taxiway having a removed or milled surface, an artificial turf is adhesively secured to the new, milled surface of the airport runway or taxiway and an infill layer installed on at least a portion of the artificial turf.

Abstract: An arrester bed system for a runway area of an airport or airfield comprising: an artificial surface securely install in the area; a base beneath the artificial turf, the base configured to slow a moving aircraft; and soil beneath the base.

Abstract: The present invention provides an artificial turf runway surface suitable for supporting take off, landing and taxiing of aircraft. The turf system cures many of problems and pitfalls associated with natural sand or grass systems, such as rutting, bare spots, erosion, unevenness, standing water as well as other problems associated with natural grass airstrips. The synthetic surface also removes nesting materials and food and thereby dissuades birds and other animals from landing and congregating thereon. The system includes a synthetic covering, such as an artificial turf covering, one or more sheeting or flow through membranes, a compacted rock base suitable for supporting the aircraft when landing, tacking off and taxiing.

Abstract: An airport safety system includes an area of land wherein natural grass has been removed substantially from the grass and artificial turf having a plurality of synthetic fibers, the turf securely installed in the area without the use of a layer of infill dispersed between the fibers. The turf also is capable of absorpting fuel from a fuel spill at or near the area.

Abstract: A method for marketing an artificial surface for application at an airport installed adjacent to a runway/taxiway includes: (i) causing advertising to be displayed on the artificial surface; (ii) obtaining revenue for causing the display of the advertising; and (iii) selling/installing the artificial surface at a discounted price in exchange for receiving at least a portion of the advertising revenue.

Abstract: An arrester bed system for a runway area of an airport or airfield comprising: an artificial surface securely install in the area; a base beneath the artificial turf, the base configured to slow a moving aircraft; and soil beneath the base.

Abstract: A method for installing an aesthetically pleasing artificial turf that retards birds and other animals and a sub-surface that supports the weight of an aircraft, enhances water drainage and enables the accessibility of airport vehicles to all parts of a runway or taxiway is disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses for airport safety areas, runways and taxiways is provided. Various attachment systems for installing a synthetic covering are described. The use of artificial turf as well as various embodiments for a suitable synthetic matting for the installation are also described. Also, solar energy, heating and fire suppression systems are disclosed. A method of financing the turf system is also described using a synthetic covering with advertising.
