GROUND MATS

Aluminum, plastic, or rubber heavy-duty mats and temporary roads

Groundmats are also called access mats or even temporary roadways mats. The terms used for temporary ground covers in the construction segment are many and varied. However, they describe one thing. The cover systems act as excellent helpers on difficult terrain. A ground mat creates a fast, flexible, and stable environment. Moreover, it offers soil-protecting access routes. Similarly, it offers bases for machines and vehicles.

Temporary roadways mats for every type of project

You will need reliable systems to reduce damage to the ground. Moreover, these are essential on construction sites where times are tight. Similarly, groundmats prevent getting stuck. Moreover, these significantly increase work safety.

The choice of material solutions is as varied as the projects themselves. Therefore, you can choose from aluminum roadways, such as Box Panels and HD Panels. You can also choose from composite mats, such as PistEco, Easymats, and Hexagon to Remopla rubber mats.

WHY GROUND MATS?

Many construction managers opt for classic construction roads with backfills. Moreover, they often use these for road construction or land protection. However, long construction and dismantling times and an enormous interference with nature are significant disadvantages. Groundmats offer massive advantages in comparison.

Preserving nature and saving costs

The mobile roadway slabs can absorb highly high loads well, even on soft ground. This happens due to composite systems. Moreover, a ground mat can protect the soil. Similarly, it can conserve the environment. Moreover, these also offer fast and residue-free removal. Therefore, groundmats can save time and money for costly re-naturalization.

Protection for people, machinery, and nature

The soil protection panels offer special protection. Moreover, these are helpful in the great outdoors and especially in nature reserves. Similarly, they also reduce surface damage to cobblestones. Moreover, groundmats reduce damager to other sensitive surfaces on construction sites in city centers.

Temporary ground protection panels provide stability for vehicles. Moreover, a ground mat also offers stability for heavy equipment. Similarly, it guarantees passability in wind and weather on rough, unpaved terrain. Groundmats ensure safe conditions for people and machinery. This happens due to their anti-slip and load-bearing properties.

TYPES OF GROUND MATS

The type of ground mat most suitable for your construction site depends on numerous factors. Is load distribution or subgrade protection the primary concern? Do I use the ground mat for light equipment? Do I need heavy-duty panels? Do I use temporary roadways on rough terrain? Do I use them as pedestrian walkways in inner-city areas?

Aluminum trackways

Some construction sites are located on rugged terrains such as sand, mud, bog, arable land, clayey soil, or marshland. Therefore, aluminum systems, such as Box Panels, HD Panels, and Arena Panels, offer particular advantages. Moreover, they are friction-locked and form-fitted. Similarly, they are connected in all directions. Therefore, they create a level surface free of tripping hazards.

Their low weight makes them more transport-efficient. Moreover, their surface profiling provides a stable base, especially on inclines. Aluminum panels are an ideal alternative compared to steel panels or even wood. Moreover, you can also use them as heavy-duty roads.

Access mats made of plastic or rubber

Groundmats and driveways made of plastic, such as PistEco or Easymats, are particularly transport-efficient. Moreover, these are flexible. Similarly, you can install these by hand. They are convincing due to their high laying speed. However, they are stably connected. Moreover, they are highly loadable. They are also less susceptible to theft on unsecured construction sites.

Sensitive and load-bearing substrates need protection from mechanical loads. Moreover, load distribution is not necessary here. Therefore, rubber mats, such as Remopla, are particularly suitable here.

AREAS OF APPLICATIONS

The areas of application for mobile construction roads are as varied as the construction industry itself. Regardless of whether aluminum or plastic panels are used, the systems are ideally suited as driveways and access roads suitable for heavy loads.

Large construction sites in the renewable energy sector often rely on ground mats to provide appropriate roadways to wind energy, solar, or biogas plants. Moreover, you can use them as outrigger pads for heavy cranes. The matting solutions are also popular in the power transmission and distribution sector construction or pipeline construction. This is because wet and muddy fields often prevent the immediate use of heavy equipment.

Construction site access roads in rough terrain

In gardening and landscaping, construction planners rely on temporary paving panels. This happens because you can lay down the flexible systems by hand in many projects. Moreover, in classic road construction, the driveable paving panels serve as mobile access roads. Similarly, they also serve as safe transport routes for construction site traffic. Moreover, they also serve as paving/asphalt protection in sensitive construction site areas.

Area protection and solid foundations

Mobile solutions are ideal for surface protection. Therefore, these are ideal for parking and assembly areas, storage, logistics, and worksite areas on construction sites. Moreover, groundmats also guarantee safe construction site operations. Similarly, they provide solid foundations as a scissor lift or crane outrigger pads.

Can temporary roadways be used on all ground surfaces?

Lots of different surfaces can benefit from ground protection and temporary roadways. They can serve many purposes, from protecting the ground from impact from vehicles and pedestrians. Temporary roadway also offers protection for people, machinery, and vehicles.

What is a temporary roadway? 

A temporary roadway can be used for outdoor events, for pedestrian and vehicular access or in areas like construction sites to protect the ground and provide stability on soft ground. They can also be used as crane or plant machinery pads where soft or uneven ground below may impact usage or safety. Our temporary roadway panels lock and bolt flush together to create stable temporary road surfaces so no trip or slip hazards occur for pedestrians, vehicles and plant machinery.  

What surfaces can temporary roadway protect?

  • Soil
  • Grass 
  • Gravel 
  • Bog 
  • Sand

How can temporary roadway protect these surfaces?

Soil  

Ground protection mats can help prevent heavy rainfall from washing away the soil on building sites. They distribute the weight of any equipment, or foot traffic on the ground, meaning that they can help prevent soil compaction and therefore erosion.  

Grass  

Grass mats protect each blade of grass and prevent erosion from water. They often have holes in them to allow the grass to continue to grow through. These mats allow you to keep the look of grass, whilst also reinforcing the ground, to prevent boggy and pitted surfaces, on grassy car parks for example.  

Gravel  

Temporary roadway mats are easy enough to place over gravel, to provide better traction than just loose gravel would. This is perfect for temporary access for heavy vehicles for maintenance purposes, providing more of a solid ground for heavy plants or machinery.  

Bog

Almost any area in a site can benefit from bog mats. They’re used as temporary roadways, paths, and platforms, keeping vehicle and machinery wheels from getting stuck in the ground below. Like most other forms of ground protection, they work by distributing weight over larger areas creating less impact on the ground below. They’re used to protect below-ground cables and pipes. The mats take the pressure off concentrated points and spread it more evenly. 

Sand  

Roadway mats also work on loose surfaces, such as sand. They can be used to create temporary access roads across beaches. This is useful for people with disabilities to have access to the beach and the sea independently. Parents can also benefit from track mats on the beach as it allows them to push their prams down onto the sand.

You can use temporary roadways on various ground surfaces for different purposes. They can help you whatever your project, whether you’re arranging festival flooring maintenance works, vehicular access, and more.
