Pictured below: Airport Image Gallery, image 1 of four - demonstrating permeable, low impact, low environmental profile, runoff-free, mud-free, cost-effective alternative paving.
Due to the absence of conventional paving (for vehicle roads and parking lots) and the absence of impervious tarmac, the cost of the airport's stormwater runoff management system has been reduced to zero.
This resulted in a significant reduction of the airport's initial and ongoing capitalization costs.
By eliminating the conventional stormwater runoff systems consisting of runoff collection + diversion + retention + filtration/treatment + infiltration ponds or assets; this airport ownership used the absence of impervious pavement -rather and increase of the native infiltration rate of the natural grassed area - to enable a more sound airport design and construction project.
