Karup Airport: NATO Air Base Helipad Installation

Karup Airport, Denmark

The Challenge

Military helicopter operations creating severe rotor wash damage on traditional surfaces. Loose gravel becoming projectiles during takeoff—safety risk for personnel and aircraft. FOD contamination threatening engine integrity. Dust clouds reducing visibility during critical operations. Heavy service vehicles (fire trucks, fuel tankers) needing stable surface access. NATO readiness requirements demanding 24/7 operational capability.

What AGAT Delivered

Installation of military-grade AGAT helipad surface designed for NATO operational requirements. Load-tested for heavy military helicopters and support vehicles. Embedded marking system (H-markers, safety zones) that never needs repainting. Completed during scheduled maintenance window—minimal operational disruption. Meets NATO STANAG standards for helipad operations.

Zero rotor wash displacement during operations

Eliminated FOD projectile risk from flying debris

No Brown Outs — clear visibility for all operations

Supports fire trucks, fuel vehicles, and ground equipment

Embedded markings—never repaint or refresh

24/7 operational readiness in all weather conditions

Installed in days, not weeks — minimal downtime

Reduced maintenance costs by 75%+

"Military operations demand surfaces that work under extreme conditions. AGAT delivers the reliability and durability our operations require."

Greenland: Remote Helipads

Greenland

Their Problems

In 2022 Air Greenland upgraded their helicopter fleet with H155 and H225 Superpuma helicopters.

When the new helicopters arrived, they brought with them the challenge of broken windshields and chipped rotors from the gravel apron. However, Mittarfeqarfiit–Greenland Airports, was well prepared and knew exactly what the solution was -AGAT.

Operating helipads in extreme Arctic conditions. Temperatures down to -50°C. Permafrost preventing natural grass. Rotor wash destroying gravel surfaces. Flying debris from loose gravel becoming projectiles during takeoff/landing. Zero maintenance windows in winter. Remote locations with no on-site crews. Traditional surfaces failed completely.

What changed

The installation of AGAT at QaarsutAirport has proven to be a game-changer for Air Greenland's SAR operations. The AGAT solution effectively eliminated the risk of broken windshields and chipped rotors caused by the gravel apron, ensuring the continued operation of the SAR mission on the harsh coast of Greenland.

The AGAT solution was presented, by Evergreen Aviation to Air Greenland two years ago and with the arrival of new H155 and H225 Superpumahelicopters, it became evident that this was the solution they needed. The installation of AGAT not only mitigated the risk of damage to the aircraft but also ensured the safety of the crew and passengers.

Zero surface displacement from rotor wash

Works at -50°C (tested in harshest conditions on Earth)

No flying debris—eliminated FOD projectile risk

Embedded markings (never need repainting)

Supports heavy service vehicle loads on permafrost

No maintenance crews needed on remote sites

"The AGAT apron in Qaarsut has performed outstanding as expected."

jet blast erosion

London City Airport: Runway 27 & Taxiway M. LCY

London, United Kingcom

Their Problems

Erosion in the Jet blast area of RWY 27.

Aircraft maneuvering created extreme erosion. Flying debris becoming FOD hazards. Maintenance crews constantly repairing damage.

What changed

AGAT was initially installed for performance observation at RWY 27/TWY M at London City Airport.

Initial installation has been completed on all islands and the RESA next to the EMAS. A total of 45.000 + m².

Lowering the maintenance cost to approximately GBP 5.000 per year for the entire AGAT areas.

Zero jet blast erosion since August 2017 installation

No FOD issues reported during inspections

No birds observed resting since installation

Airfield inspections show zero problems

Became the "icebreaker" for all European airports

"Since the installation, there have been no issues with the AGAT. Airfields are always being inspected and there have been no issues reported so far."

VIP hospitality

Skrøbelev Gods: Helipad

Langeland, Denmark

Their Problems

High-profile guests arriving by helicopter—CEOs, celebrities, government officials. Existing field creating FOD and dust clouds that ruined the luxury arrival experience and the nearby parking area.

What changed

Installation of premium AGAT helipad surface adjacent to the manor's parking area. Designed to complement the historic estate's aesthetic while delivering flawless VIP arrivals. Embedded custom logo visible from the air. Completed in 48 hours during off-season to avoid disrupting guest operations. Zero dust, zero FOD, zero debris, improved brand experience.

Flawless VIP arrivals—no dust clouds disrupting the experience

Zero flying debris—luxury cars in parking area stay pristine

Restaurant guests unaware of helicopter operations (no dust/debris)

Embedded estate logo creates memorable first impression from air

Green surface blends naturally with manor's park grounds

Load-tested for heavy helicopters and service vehicles

Installed in 2 days—no extended closure required

Maintenance staff freed up for actual guest services

"Our VIP guests expect perfection. AGAT transformed our helicopter arrivals from a maintenance headache into a seamless luxury experience. The embedded logo is a beautiful touch—guests comment on it constantly."

— Estate Operations Director

HEMS

HEMS: Aabenraa Hospital

Aabenraa, Denmark

Their Problems

When building the new super hospital in the southern part of Denmark, the existing landing zone on a field became part of the construction site.

What changed

During the construction period an AGAT HEMS helipad was temporarily installed at the ER entrance.

After completion of the hospital, the AGAT HEMS helipad was moved to a smaller regional hospital facility.

Flexible and deployable

Quick installation

Reusable

No FOD

Noise reduction

"Only positive experiences with AGAT"

Jet blast erosion

Southend Airport: Runway Blast Pad

Essex, United Kingdom

Their Problems

The existing grass area to the end of the runway at Southend Airport had been eroded and torn up as a result of jet blasts from large aircraft. This had led to Foreign Object Debris (FOD) such as rock becoming a hazard to the safety of the Airport.

To tackle this urgent problem Southend Airport commissioned Burroughs to carry out a feasibility study. The study considered three material options for the 440m2 area: Aviation Grade Artificial Turf (AGAT), Asphalt and Concrete. Following the cost study conducted by Burroughs in collaboration with Southend Airport the decision was taken to use AGAT for the surface of the blast pad.

What changed

The AGAT, which has now been installed, is designed to reduce creation of FOD, provide erosion protection, allow surface drainage, be able to be trafficked by light maintenance vehicles and clear visual recognition.
