Transportation (e.g. roads, railway beds or airport runways, taxiways, etc.)

  • Recreation (playgrounds, bicycle paths, running tracks, tennis courts...)
  • Agriculture (barn floors, greenhouse floors...)
  • Industrial (ports, landfill caps, work sites...)
  • Building construction (floorings...)
