Airport Revegetation

Successful revegetation of airports requires a unique combination of safety, stability, and ecological responsibility. The key challenge involves establishing vegetation rapidly and sustainably in areas exposed to turbulence, jet blasts, and harsh environmental conditions. At SR-Begrünungstechnik GmbH (SRBT), we specialize in hydroseeding and hydromulching solutions specifically tailored to meet these stringent requirements.

Selecting the Right Seed Mix for Airport Vegetation

Choosing the correct seed mix is crucial for airport revegetation projects. In addition to addressing soil conditions such as salt tolerance and drought resistance, seed selections must not attract wildlife, especially birds, to minimize the risk of bird strikes. Collaborating closely with airport wildlife managers and ecologists, we ensure seed mixtures provide rapid establishment, stability, and ecological compatibility without encouraging wildlife presence.

Advanced Hydromulching for Jet Blast Zones

In critical areas such as blast zones, where turbulence and engine exhaust can dislodge loose soil, specialized revegetation methods are essential. SR-Begrünungstechnik GmbH employs Flexible Growth Matrix (FGM) hydromulch, combining short and long wood fibers with proprietary additives originally developed for military use in helicopter landing zones. These additives effectively prevent hazardous conditions such as “brown-outs,” where helicopter rotors stir up dust clouds, and the “Kopp-Etchells Effect,” a phenomenon where abrasive particles erode helicopter rotor blades, producing dangerous static discharges.

Efficient Application Methods and Materials

Hydroseeding and hydromulching are ideally suited for airport environments due to their efficient, fast application, minimizing operational disruptions. Our specialized Hydroseeding equipment, mounted on trucks or other mobile units, quickly and evenly applies the mulch mixture, seed, and stabilizing agents across extensive areas. Hydraulically applied mulch conforms seamlessly to terrain contours, significantly improving seed-to-soil contact and moisture retention.
