Case Studies

Documented real-world projects (Landlock 2012–2024). From USMC tactical airfields to mobile-home parks and municipal roads across multiple continents.

Flagship case — USMC Twenty-Nine Palms, CA — June 2024

380,000 SF STRATEGIC AIRFIELD IN 4 DAYS

Stabilization of a Strategic Expeditionary Landing Field capable of supporting C-17 and C-130 aircraft. A competitor product had failed on the same site. LL-TEQ remediated the failed surface and constructed 380,000 SF of fully certified taxiway, apron, and refueling centre in four days. The competing solution would have taken two months.

39 Marine Engineers trained on-site. 570,000 SF additional phase confirmed.
