What We Offer in Derby

The company specialises in the machine-laying of asphalt for runways, taxiways, aprons, and aircraft stands, utilising a fleet of three Vögele track pavers to ensure precision and consistency. Vögele, a brand within the Wirtgen Group and the world leader in paver manufacturing, provides the Super 1800-5 highway-class paver capable of 10m widths at 700 tonnes per hour, the 8m wide Super 1803-3i, and the compact 4.5m Super 1303-3i midi paver. These machines are essential for achieving the tight tolerances and uniform compaction required to withstand extreme aircraft loads. Stardom applies materials that meet stringent aviation specifications, focusing on high-density compaction to prevent deformation under heavy static and dynamic weights. The team understands the complex operational constraints of active airfields, including noise restrictions and security protocols. All work is executed by a team of over 20 skilled professionals, each holding a CSCS card, who are trained to work within the strict safety frameworks of military and civil aviation sites. This technical approach ensures that the final surface provides the necessary friction and structural support for safe aircraft operations.
