Challenge
Saint-Pierre d’Oléron Airport in France needed to improve a taxiway used by ultralight aircraft. The existing asphalt was deteriorating, poor drainage caused water to accumulate, and the narrow taxiway created risks of conflicting aircraft movements and collisions near the hangars.
Solution
A total of 1,000 m² of Terra-Grid E® 35 was installed to reinforce and improve the taxiway. The grid provides a stable, load-bearing surface while allowing natural drainage and grass growth, with minimal earthwork required.
Result
A reinforced, permeable taxiway with improved access and traffic flow around the hangars. The new layout keeps Hangar 1 outside the general traffic area and provides a durable surface for ultralight aircraft.
- 1,000 m² of Terra-Grid E® 35 installed
- Improved drainage and aircraft traffic separation
- Minimal earthwork and rapid implementation
