Synthetic Grass is a good solution for the Airport Anti-bird technology.
Wuhan International Airport new terminal is under construction currently, which is estimated to come into service at the end of 2016. In order to prevent the accidents from the birds, and enhance the safety, the airport is trying synthetic grass on a large scale to replace natural grass. It is known as the very first one in China.
Traditional natural grass appeals to the birds for foraging, perching, and playing. Apart from the labor, and the expenses it takes for the daily maintenance, the fire risks highly increase in winters. Let’s go through the benefits from synthetic grass.
- Synthetic grass, without seeds and flowers, is less attracting to the birds.
- Synthetic grass is fire retardant and prevents the aircraft wake stream from igniting the grass.
- Synthetic grass is a good solution for heavy traffic, and will last for years.
- Synthetic grass, with drainage holes, helps the rain get into the soil very easily.
Wuhan airport staff is testing synthetic grass. And they are formulating the implementation plan, with the use experience of PARIS-CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT & KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT as the reference.
