FOD
Foreign Object Debris secures against creation and improves visual identification of FOD
Erosion
closes the surface and secures it against erosion

Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
- increases the access and shortens the rescue turnout.
Nudging
-
‘Nudging’ signals which affects
behaviour unconsciously but effectively.
Bird Strikes
- Fewer bird strikes due to the reduced presence of food and hiding places for birds.
Drainage
- Increases the possibility of surface drainage.
Wildlife Management
- Neutral and ethical wildlife management, due to the natural removal of food,
shelter, and water for birds and prey.

FOD
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
Foreign Object Debris Damage (FOD) is responsible for countless millions of dollars worth of
damage to aircraft every year. An AGAT installation helps inspection personnel to identify and
remove debris quickly and effectively. In addition, areas which are normally subjected to jet
blast are stabilized with an AGAT installation, as the potential for pavement disaggregation is
greatly reduced.
AGAT’s
FOD-prevention characteristics have been tested and proven.

2145405_0006.png
Erosion
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
AGAT helps to stabilize runway and taxiway shoulders and prevents the erosion of soil abutting
the pavement because of jet blast and water run-off. A synthetic turf system also provides a
surface that will support inadvertent excursions by aircraft and minimize damage to aircraft
gear systems.

2145405_0007.png
Visual Recognition
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
AGAT significantly enhances the visual delineation for aircraft pilots and airport ground crew.
This system can be used in numerous applications to help with airport marking. This
significantly increases safety by covering non-movement hard surface areas such as painted
infield islands and decommissioned high speed exits or taxiways in lieu of painted yellow
X’s.
FAA study shows that artificial turf used to narrow the appearance of taxiways to prevent pilots
from inadvertently landing on wide taxiways.

2145405_0008.png
Incursions
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
Installation of AGAT on the airport reduces the number of times when personnel and equipment
must be on the airfield, especially in the runway and taxiway safety areas. Synthetic turf also
aids vehicle operators and pilots to maintain situational awareness while moving on the airport
surface.

2145405_0009.png
ARFF
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
Covering infield islands with artificial turf will create a more stable area that allows emergency
response equipment to traverse over these areas during all types of weather and ultimately
reduce response times to airport incidents. Both a Boeing 757 and multiple ARFF emergency
service vehicles have traversed AGAT installations with no signs of displacement or damage.

2145405_0010.png
Nudging
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
Nudging is an architectural signal which affects behavior unconsciously in a appropriate and
predictable way. These markings in artificial turf offer a guideline beyond the mandatory
runway markings.

2145405_0011.png
Bird Strikes
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
AGAT creates an environment which is free of food, water, and shelter for birds. Because the
most dangerous and frequent encounters occur during take-off and landing, efforts to ensure
wildlife control on the airfield have assumed priority and urgency. Installing artificial turf
alongside runways and taxiways will drive birds further away from these critical areas and
reduce the potential for bird strikes on or near the airport property.
 FOU, Alm.del - 2019-20 - Bilag 56: Henvendelse af 23/1-20 vedrørende underlag til flyvepladser og helikopterlandingspladser, fra Evergreen Aviation ApS
2145405_0012.png
Drainage
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
Laboratory and field drainage tests have been performed with successful results on AGAT. The
AGAT system allows water to drain through natural percolation, and the infill provides a natural
filter that can drain up to 60 gallons of water per square foot per hour.

2145405_0013.png
Wildlife Management
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
The presence of any wildlife around taxiways and runways can prove distracting and
dangerous, increasing the likelihood of bird strikes and FOD. AGAT installation acts as a
neutral and ethical deterrent to wildlife management by removing food, shelter, and water
for birds and their prey.

Noise Reduction
AGAT advantages
05-06-2019
Aviation Grade Artificial Turf is a efficient sound absorbing surface. The noise reducting
carpet works especially well on Runways, Taxiways, Aprons and Helipads.
Additional systems compliments the noise reduction in highly sensitive areas.

Edges of Manouvering Areas
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
AGAT is extremely useful in work areas with high load-bearing demands. The artificial surface has
been designed as a major safety improvement for the world’s airports,
as it improves visual
delineation between movement areas and non-movement areas, solves water-pooling problems, and
controls erosion.

Fuel Stations
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
Sand infill in AGAT absorbs any spills of fuel or oil, and contaminated infill can easily be replaced.
The sand infill works as a fire retardant in case of ignited spills on the ground. AGAT is resistant
towards all chemicals found in airports.

ILS Areas
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
AGAT can be easily installed on any surface, around existing lamps, signs or other device systems.
It provides a major security improvement because the synthetic turf prevents disturbance and
interference by reducing incursions such as lawn mowing or weeds.

2145405_0021.png
Intersections
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
A strong base covered with AGAT provides a maximal load-bearing capacity, strong enough for
heavy vehicles to run over without sinking in. It is even strong enough to support aircrafts which
accidentally cuts corners with the inner wheel.

Islands
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
Cost-benefit analyses, evaluating the construction expenditures against increased safety, increased
aesthetics, and reduced operating expenses, found many AGAT advantages. Incursion reduction is,
for instance, the result of the low maintenance. The nudging effect of AGAT airport islands is
remarkable.

2145405_0023.png
Lamps
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
Airport lamps are extremely vulnerable to planting. It is of utmost importance that all airport marking
equipment is kept free of any disturbance that may interfere with their functionality.
Installation of AGAT, in accordance with the existing equipment, is trouble-free.

PAPI
(Precision Approach Path Indicator)
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
AGAT has an economical affordability when it comes to lighting upgrades. It allows for innovation
without interfering with any of the airport's legacy systems which may be worthy of preservation.
The sturdy and reliable stable groundcover prevents disruptive and dangerous blockages and
increases airfield lighting usage.

Service Areas
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
AGAT covered service areas are designed in accordance with each airport's needs and capabilities,
depending on which services the airport wishes to offer.

Service Roads
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
By installing AGAT on service roads, whether they are made from soil, gravel or paved surfaces, a
number of advantages can be obtained. These include improved visibility, minimised debris and
FOD, and a prolonged lifespan.

Shoulders
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
AGAT has been tested for jet blast and ultra-heavy loads, including large aircrafts, and for supporting
emergency response equipment. AGAT meets ASTM installation requirements.
AGAT meets the specifications in the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-15B, and has been identified
as a material that can be used to cover large portions of airport property with multiple benefits, such
as providing consistent groundcover, as well as reducing maintenance costs and attractive vegetative
food sources for hazardous wildlife species.

Signs
AGAT Applications
Signs are normally placed in crucial areas in an airport. When AGAT has been installed beneath
signs, incursions are minimized and thereby the security is upgraded.

Runways Markings
AGAT Applications
05-06-2019
AGAT allows markings to be embedded right into the turf. AGAT has been formulated to have a long
life, despite exposure to hard weather and sun. Markings do not fade and they stand bright and visible
across the entre lifetime of the runway.
