Runway Safe provides not just an innovative EMAS solution, but the world’s first and only green EMAS – a durable, sustainable and cost-efficient solution to mitigate aircraft overruns. The primary construction material is a lightweight aggregate foam made from recycled glass. The patented Runway Safe greenEMAS® system is comprised of three main components. The first is a recycled energy-absorbing loose fill material known as foam glass. The second is a durable polymer concrete cover, which acts as a protective layer and helps to arrest the aircraft. And the third is the actual sub-structure for anchoring the bed to the underlying pavement. The second layer is light weight polymer concrete known as CLSM (Controlled Low Strength Material) which plays an important role for the stopping design, access for light vehicles, exit for passenger by an emergency and for anchoring the geogrid. The third layer is a high polymer sealant system consisting of MMA. Key features The key features of the greenEMAS® system are: Low lifecycle cost Low maintenance cost Fast repairs - loose fill material can be stored on site Seamless, encapsulated construction Made of inert material, absorber and cover materials not susceptible to the elements Safe and controlled deceleration Low lifecycle impact on the environment Cost-efficient pour-in-place construction Customazible jetblast resistance Fast installation, built on site Runway Safe’s EMAS system was approved by the FAA in 2012, after extensive R&D. Development - a future assurance Runway Safe is conducting development activities related to the improvement and optimization of the greenEMAS®. Some of the development and testing tasks pertain to near-term improvements in construction procedures, some involve longer-term improvements in design and construction, some are material-level testing efforts, and others involve large scale testing of the entire system. Near-term construction improvements, longer term design and construction improvements and overrun testing will continue to be performed in house by Runway Safe AB/LLC. Material-level testing and evaluation involves many facets, however, and Runway Safe continues to involve other groups and organizations through contract or other mechanism to support the development efforts. How do runway overruns occur? One can read about runway overruns on the web. But what does the authorities say about it. Read more in the FAA Fact Sheet. Didn’t find what you were looking for?
