ALL WEATHER, DUST FREE LANDING SITES AND RUNWAYS APPLICATIONS
Earthen runways generate dust and are also susceptible to deterioration from wet weather – particularly in tropical climates.
TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 can be used to quickly stabilize and seal runways, using standard military construction equipment such as graders, water trucks and rollers.
For initial deployment, TeraFil’s GRT: 7000, an ultra-concentrate product added to water and suited to broad-scale application, can be used to initially dust-suppress these areas. As an ultra-concentrate, 10-21 gallons (depending on the soil type) is all that is needed to treat a hectare (108,000 square feet) of open soil.
Dust created during helicopter landing and take-off creates a period of vulnerability during which pilots and soldiers can easily become disorientated, especially while under attack. With little to no ground preparation required, TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 can be applied to open surfaces, immediately stopping dust generation for months at a time. Using GRT: 3000 can help greatly reduce the leading cause of helicopter crashes, saving lives and capital.
Remote Military Outposts, HLZ’s, Temporary Roads
TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 achieves a stable layer of clear, bonded material resistant to wind erosion, rain impact, pedestrians, and traffic. This product has a high resistance to UV degradation and eliminates the dust and erosion of a treated surface, when used to maintain the surface.
For transport routes of constant UV, truck or aircraft traffic, simply utilize a higher rate to produce a more suitable, durable outcome.
TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 is a specifically developed, polymer technology used and approved by heavy industry, worldwide.
Combat & Natural Disaster Zone Dust Control
When buildings and other infrastructure are damaged because of combat or demolished due to natural disasters, many hazardous dusts can be released into the environment.
This is a significant health hazard for the civilian population as well as military personnel deployed for combat or humanitarian reasons.
TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 has been specifically designed to encapsulate and control these harmful dusts.
An ultra-concentrate, LCP technology TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 can be used to effectively capture and control:
- Asbestos Fibers – still used or present in many buildings
- Silica Dusts – harmful dusts commonly generated from crushed concrete and hard rock
- Heavy Metals – present in buildings, munitions and underground services
- Contaminated Dusts – dust contaminated with chemicals due to spills, accidents, fires, natural disasters, and combat activity
As little as 21 gallons of TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 can lock down 107,500 square feet of dusty urban landscape, making it the logistical choice for transport and handling.
Logistics Yards and Vehicle Depots
Dust is a huge source of equipment and vehicle damage. It accelerates the wearing of any moving parts and is in itself a significant respiratory health hazard for personnel.
Heavy trucks, forklifts, and tracked machinery (whether tanks or earthmoving machinery) damage all surfaces and generate dust.
Only one treatment can handle this punishment – TeraFil’s GRT: 7000.
This technology substantially reduces the need to remove in-situ material and import specialized pavements, or investing in high cost treatments such as concrete. TeraFil’s GRT: 7000 is adaptable to many soil types, and works by soaking into the treated soil and simply weighs down particles, preventing them from becoming airborne.
