Detailed Overview:
The Challenge:
A sub-station maintenance company required access for MEWPs and telehandlers across soft gravel at a National Grid site. The task was complicated by extremely low hanging transmission lines, making the use of mechanical lifting equipment a significant health and safety concern. The company needed a ground protection system that could be installed manually.
The Solution:
GroundGuards swiftly responded to the challenge. Our recommendation was the MaxiTrack Ground Protection Mat, a heavy-duty mat with overlapping joints designed to comfortably bear the weight of large vehicles while providing a firm base for operations. Crucially, each MaxiTrack mat weighs only 40kg, allowing two workers to easily lift, manoeuvre, and install the mats by hand.
The Outcome:
The 6-week hire project ran smoothly, with the MaxiTrack system meeting all the client’s needs. The client was so impressed with the MaxiTrack system that they are considering it for their next site project in Coventry.
Conclusion:
This case study demonstrates the versatility and efficiency of GroundGuards’ MaxiTrack mats. Their portability and ease of manual installation make them an ideal solution for ground protection over soft gravel.
