Chicago O’Hare International Airport is the second busiest airport in North America with almost 77 million annual passengers, a number expected to grow at a rate of 10% in the coming years.

Service roads are used by airport emergency and service vehicles to minimize time spent on airways and taxiways. Within these roadways are no movement zones that are typically covered with natural grass. Maintenance of these grass areas including mowing, weeding and fertilizing require the shutdown of the entire area, thus requiring extensive planning to minimize disruption caused by the closure.

AvTurf is a synthetic turf system that provides comprehensive ground safety enhancements and erosion control. The use of AvTurf for no movement zones in airports eliminates the need for closures, saving both time and money while extending the usage capacity of the airport’s infrastructure. This is extremely important as air travel continues to grow in popularity for both business and leisure.

Due to AvTurf’s reputation as a premier safety surface for aviation, and its ability to demonstrate such assertion, it has been successfully installed across the globe to eliminate specific hazards in some of the largest and busiest airports.
