The construction of airfields is a fairly exciting occupation that is of interest at the design stage. First of all, the project should include the design of drainage systems consisting of excess humidity from the airport area. The presence of a drainage system is necessary for soils, where there is an undoubted danger of erosion due to constant precipitation. This is especially true for silty or peat soils, thus, before starting the construction of the airfield, it is desirable to conduct a thorough analysis of the soil.
It is advisable to thoroughly approach the choice of material for protecting aerodrome coatings, and we are talking about waterproofing materials. When making your choice among materials, it is necessary to give preference to their certain strength characteristics. It is also necessary that the score of the structure is to avoid strong surface deformation in case of contact with the aircraft.
The construction of airfields in modern conditions allows you to use special membrane technologies that help to avoid drainage of water between the layers of the system. Due to the presence of this unique membrane system, you can create runways without any tricks and additional fortifications. The resulting runway obtained will last a fairly long period without the need to replace not only the canvas, but also the drainage system.
It is worth considering that the quality of concrete and the conditions of its filling and the conditions of its filling played far in the construction of airfields, where not only the area, but also the composition is of no small importance. It is noteworthy that cracks in concrete can occur in various situations, thus, concrete protection is necessary in any case.
