What We Offer in Preston

For airport and runway applications in Preston, Stardom Ltd employs high-specification asphalt mixes designed to withstand the extreme dynamic loads imposed by aircraft operations. The company utilizes a fleet of three Vögele pavers, including the Super 1800-5 highway-class machine capable of 10m widths and 700 tonnes per hour, alongside the Super 1803-3i and the compact Super 1303-3i midi paver. These Vögele track pavers, manufactured by the Wirtgen Group, are selected for their ability to deliver superior compaction consistency and surface tolerances essential for aviation safety. The surfacing process involves precise machine laying to ensure a uniform texture and density, preventing surface irregularities that could impact aircraft handling. Stardom applies these methods to runways, taxiways, aircraft stands, and aprons, adhering to strict material specifications and compaction protocols. The technical approach ensures that the resulting pavement structure can support heavy aircraft traffic without degradation. The team manages all aspects of the project from ground preparation to final compaction, utilizing their ISO 9001 certified quality management systems to guarantee that every layer of the surfacing meets the demanding criteria set by aviation authorities and military standards.
