Concrete pavement
Aprons, runway ends and taxiways in concrete – machine paved with our own equipment and 3D levelling, our own concrete and our own lab.

Concrete and asphalt for airfields – under one management.
Velde Airport Solutions is the airfield organisation of the Velde group. Dedicated crews, our own equipment, our own production and our own laboratory – for runways, taxiways and aprons.
Airfield construction demands more than paving expertise. Restricted working windows, an airport in operation and strict documentation requirements call for careful planning and reliable execution – often far from the nearest plant.
We turn up where and when the job is – as a subcontractor to the main contractors, or as main contractor when the client prefers it.

Who we are
An industrial group with airfields as its speciality
Velde is a family-owned industrial group from Sandnes, Norway, founded in 1969, with aggregates, asphalt, concrete, transport and laboratory in-house. That gives us something few others have: control of the whole chain from raw material to finished pavement.
Velde Airport Solutions (VAS) brings the group's airfield expertise together in one project organisation. We have delivered airside concrete pavements since 2017 – for Avinor, the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency and the main contractors. Now we are building the asphalt side with the same structure: one project director, dedicated airfield crews, a pre-assigned support group and the same plans for HSE, quality and sampling.
Dedicated crews with airfields as their speciality
Known crews and known equipment. We know the requirements – Avinor C4 and PSI, FOD routines and execution class 3 for the Defence Estates Agency – and several of our crews are security cleared.
Our own production where the airfield is
The CIBER 2000 mobile asphalt plant and the Blend A240 mobile concrete plant (approx. 90 m³/h) make us independent of local suppliers.
Documented from day one
Project-specific quality control plan (QCP), laboratory staff in the crew, paving reports per shift and a weekly report to the client.

What we deliver.
Airfield asphalt
Runways, taxiways and aprons in asphalt – planned around airport operations, with dedicated airfield crews, a fixed equipment package and a mobile asphalt plant where the distance requires it.
Rehabilitation
Membranes and moisture protection, joint sealing and resealing, painting, concrete repairs, replacement of stand slabs and maintenance of pavements in operation – including fuel-resistant joints and Topeka 4S.
Full-scope delivery – all disciplines under one management
Concrete, asphalt and rehabilitation from one organisation, with one point of contact for the whole airfield pavement – as subcontractor or main contractor.
How we work
Planned, documented and delivered – while the airport stays open
Clients and main contractors want a supplier that knows airfields, brings its own equipment and documents everything. This is what a job looks like with us:
Planning around airport operations
Working windows, night work and phasing are agreed with the client and the airport before start-up. The project director owns the schedule.
Dedicated crew and fixed equipment package
The crew is confirmed well in advance and takes part in the preparations. Velde Maskinservice keeps the equipment running throughout the job.
HSE on the airside
FOD routines and job safety analysis before every pour and every shift. Security-cleared personnel where required.
Quality documented in every load
Acceptance testing of fresh concrete, asphalt sampling as the work progresses, cubes and Marshall specimens – analysed in our own certified laboratory.
Reporting as we go
Paving reports per shift, IR scanning of the asphalt pavement and a weekly report to the client – the same templates for concrete and asphalt.
Handover with complete documentation
Measurement records, O&M documentation and as-built documentation delivered in the client's system.
Our own production
We produce where the job is
Many airports are far from the nearest asphalt or concrete plant. With a mobile asphalt plant (CIBER 2000) and a mobile concrete plant (Blend A240) we produce the materials on site – with certified production control, and weight and consumption logged per load.
That makes us independent of local suppliers, and gives the client one party responsible for both production and paving.

Svalbard Airport 2027
Next stop: 78° north.
In summer 2027 we resurface the runway at Svalbard Airport Longyearbyen for Avinor. The equipment goes by sea from Gismarvik, the mobile asphalt plant is set up at the airport, and the crew paves every night through the season.
If we can solve that, we can solve anything – and the crew and equipment are ready for the next airfield.
