Modular panel systems install quickly without specialist equipment or permanent ground preparation. Typical installation rates exceed 500m² per day with small teams.
Engineered to support military vehicles, aircraft ground support equipment, and concentrated point loads from jacks and equipment feet..
Effective across sand, mud, grass, and uneven ground. Distributes loads to prevent surface damage and maintain trafficability.
Lightweight panels enable manual handling and rapid repositioning. Systems pack efficiently for transport and storage in operational theatres.
Non-slip surfaces maintain performance in wet conditions. UV-stabilized materials withstand prolonged exposure in varied climates.
Protects underlying terrain, enabling rapid site clearance and reducing environmental impact when operations conclude.
Our ground protection systems also support:
Our military flooring systems feature:
Systems available include rigid trackway panels, flexible ground protection mats, and composite panel systems, each engineered for specific operational requirements.
Drawing on over 20 years of industry experience and client insights, we designed Stadia XHD and Stadia XHD XL to meet the rigorous demands Military and Humanitarian operations face, offering durability, speed and convenience for a wide range of applications.
Our unique hybrid self-locking heavy duty systems offer an unparalleled level of simplicity and ease of use. Stadia XHD and Stadia XHD XL are robust enough to meet all your operational requirements, whether you need flooring for HQ, accommodation or workshop areas; temporary roadways and walkways to facilitate safe travel across terrain; or hard-standing, landing and take-off points for helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
Entirely man-handable with minimal training, Stadia XHD and Stadia XHD XL can be deployed in no time at all. By eliminating the need for locking nuts, turnkeys, cam locks, or pins, we’ve streamlined both installation and removal – a huge bonus for those on a tight schedule!
This modular, portable design adapts to your specific requirements, saving you time, money, and hassle.
| Feature | Traditional Aluminium Mats | Stadia XHD / XHD XL |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Interlocking aluminium panels + geotextile membrane | Composite / hybrid panels with self-locking design |
| Deployment | Typically requires stakes, locking hardware and a trained crew for secure installation | Tool-free, man-portable panels designed for very fast, safe installation (no pins/turn-keys, cam locks etc) |
| FOD (Foreign Object Debris) Risk | Low when correctly installed; joints can allow small debris if not secured | Very low - engineered locking reduces loose parts and FOD exposure |
| Load Capacity | Proven for a range of UAVs and light vehicles | High-designed to handle very heavy static and dynamic loads (sized per spec) |
| Operational Speed | Moderate - installation and securing take time and coordination | Fast - high m² per man per hour; deployable with small teams for quick site activation |
| Sustainability & Logistics | Reusable aluminium panels; good lifecycle recycling potential | Recyclable components, compact stowage and lighter handling reduce transport footprint |
| Best Use Case | Established solution for semi-permanent forward strips and heavier aircraft taxiways | Rapidly deployed UAV landing sites, expeditionary forward bases, and temporary heavy-duty surfaces |
