JSA is an approved installer of advanced high blast protection systems for airfields across the UK. These systems help protect surfaces in areas exposed to strong jet blast, reducing erosion and maintaining safe operating conditions.
We install hydraulically applied high blast solutions such as Flex-Terra®, which provide durable surface protection while supporting grass establishment. These systems help maintain compliance with aviation safety standards, including CAP 168 and CAP 772 requirements.
Traditional methods often use pins, netting or matting, which may lift, break down or create potential foreign object debris (FOD). Hydraulically applied systems form a strong, bonded layer that follows the ground surface closely. This helps reduce erosion, prevent loose materials and maintain a stable surface.
The applied material creates a protective blanket that supports grass growth while holding soil in place. The system forms a flexible surface that allows water to pass through while helping prevent washout and surface movement.
These solutions can be applied at different thicknesses depending on site conditions and blast exposure levels. The result is a durable and long-lasting protective layer suitable for demanding airside environments.
Advantages of Flex-Terra hydraulically applied high blast protection include:
- ➜Faster installation than traditional matting systems
- ➜Fully biodegradable materials
- ➜No pins, netting or fixings that may create FOD risks
- ➜Strong bonding directly to the soil surface
- ➜Reduced soil loss compared to traditional erosion control methods
- ➜Improved grass establishment and growth
- ➜Suitable for dormant seeding and long-term protection
- ➜Effective performance in high blast environments
- ➜Reduced maintenance requirements
- ➜Environmentally responsible solution
