Interlocking Soil-reinforcement tile as aviation runways system

Current purpose of the tile
The main purpose of the soil-reinforcement tile is to reinforce the soil for light aircraft and create safer landings and take-offs.

Original purpose of the tile
The original purpose of the tile was to provide a stable soil runway area, in remote locations in Africa
that would prevent wild animals to dig holes in the runways with devastating consequences.

Uses
The soil-reinforcement tiles can now be used for runways, aprons, heli-pads, taxiways, hard-standings or hangar floors.

Pilots
Pilots praised the soil-reinforcement tile’s surface: “Take-off and landing runs is shorter and far safer, in comparison to the standard grass runway”.

Ground preparation / Intro
The soil will need some leveling preparation.  The tile can then either be rolled into grass or placed
on-top of a level soil surface and then the grass can be placed on top.

Basic remote location installation
The soil-reinforcement tiles can all be clipped together all at once and placed on soft soil, then either wait for rain (or irrigating the area),
when the mud forms on the surface under the tiles, one can then either compact it into the soil with driving a 4x4 1-ton vehicle
over the area a couple of times (alternatively a roller compactor may be used) as the mud creates a natural suction effect which secures
the position of the tile. In a short period the load bearing capabilities and stability will improve as the tile bonds with the original surface.
Other techniques exist where one can cut the lawn very short and roll the tiles (blade-like edges under the tile) into an existing lawn. 
The technique used will be applicable to the ground, soil and or surface conditions.

This product has been tried and tested in Africa for several years. .
