Airport & Runway Surfacing Contractors in Newark, Nottinghamshire

Stardom Ltd delivers specialist airport and runway surfacing services to the Newark and Sherwood District Council area and the wider Nottinghamshire region. Operating from our base at Trident Business Park in Nuneaton, we are strategically positioned to serve the aviation needs of the East Midlands, including the NG24 postcode sector. The local infrastructure, defined by major arterial routes such as the A1, A46, A17, and A616, facilitates efficient logistics for our heavy plant fleet when accessing airfields and military sites. Newark and its surroundings possess a significant aviation heritage, with proximity to key operational bases requiring the highest levels of surface integrity. Stardom Ltd, established in 1993, brings over three decades of experience to these critical projects. Our proximity to the region allows us to mobilise rapidly to sites in Newark, Nottingham, and Lincoln, ensuring minimal disruption to flight operations. We understand the unique constraints of working near active airfields and the rigorous demands placed on surfacing materials by aircraft loads. From taxiways to aprons, our team applies the same technical precision to aviation projects as we do to the UK strategic road network, ensuring every surface meets the stringent safety and performance standards required by aviation authorities.

What We Offer in Newark

Our approach to airport and runway surfacing relies on advanced machine-laid asphalt technology and strict adherence to material specifications. Stardom Ltd utilises a fleet of Vögele pavers, including the Super 1800-5 highway-class unit capable of laying 10-metre widths at 700 tonnes per hour, alongside the Super 1803-3i and the compact Super 1303-3i midi paver. These machines are essential for achieving the flatness tolerances and compaction consistency required for airfield operations where extreme loads from aircraft must be distributed evenly. We apply these methods to runways, taxiways, aprons, and aircraft stands, ensuring the pavement structure can withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of aviation use. Our materials are selected and laid in accordance with NHSS Sector 16 standards, which govern the UK strategic road network and are equally applicable to high-performance aviation surfaces. The Vögele equipment, manufactured by the Wirtgen Group, provides the precision needed to avoid surface irregularities that could impact aircraft safety. Every project is managed by our team of over 20 skilled professionals, all holding valid CSCS cards, who understand the specific technical requirements of airfield construction. This technical capability ensures that the finished surface offers the necessary friction, drainage, and structural stability for safe aircraft operations.
