High‑Performance Roadway for airfield operations
New product is stand out ground protection for project in Shropshire
This time the MultiMatts team supplied and installed the newly released K‑Mats Heavy Duty Roadway Overlap Panels to support the movement of aircraft across sensitive ground at the historic RAF Cosford airbase.
The project involved the delivery and installation of 377 K‑Mat Overlap Panels, creating a durable, high‑performance temporary roadway designed to ensure safe aircraft repositioning while preventing ground damage. The scale and technical requirements of the deployment highlight why MultiMatts continues to be a trusted partner for complex, safety‑critical environments including aviation, defence, construction and infrastructure.

Environmental Considerations
The panels had to safeguard the underlying surface from subsidence and damage from the weight of aircrafts. The large robust K-Mat Overlap Panels were suitable for the airfield’s sensitive surface that needed minimal damage from transporting in moist, muddy, and slippery ground conditions.
Conclusion
This deployment reinforced the importance of evidence-led product selection, clear risk assessment, and practical install considerations in high-pressure environments. Credit to everyone involved in getting this delivered safely and effectively..
