Rapid Runway Repair

Rapid Runway Repair Fiberglass Mat System

The Mobile Rapid Runway Repair (RRR) Fiberglass Mat System provides the equipment to cover repaired bomb craters and/or wearing surfaces on airfield operating surfaces.  The principal system component is the 30 by 54 foot (9.14 by 16.46 meters) fiberglass mat, which can be used singly or joined together to form a 60 by 54 (18.29 by 16.46 meters) foot mat, as a foreign object damage (FOD) cover and wear surface for the repaired crater.  The mat is placed over the repaired crater and fastened to the runway surface with anchor bolts.

The RRR Mat System is the first truly inexpensive and Mobile Rapid Runway Repair System utilizing modern composite materials and fabrication techniques!  TANKINETICS is the only manufacturer of operational fiberglass mats used by the United States Air Force, being deployed at every major U.S. installation World Wide.

The RRR Mat System has a 15 year storage life and consists of everything needed for Rapid Runway Repair including all necessary air tools, bushings, anchor bolts and hand tools.

Maximum Coverage

When deployed, each mat measures 30 by 54 foot (9.14 by 16.46 meters) and is made up of a series of 9 panels each 6 x 30 feet (1.83 by 9.14 meters), connected by a unique elastomer hinge.  By joining two or more mats together, the Mobile Rapid Runway Repair System can repair almost any sized crater.

Versatility

The Mobile Rapid Runway Repair mat is less than a quarter of an inch thick.  Additionally, it’s weight is only two pounds per square foot, versus a burdensome six pounds per square foot for the AM-2 aluminum mat.

Although the Mobile Rapid Runway Repair Mat System was designed to support tactical aircraft operations, it may also be used by cargo aircraft to a limited extent.  It is also well suited for repairs to taxiways, apron areas, helipads and any other road surfaces.
