Ground Protection Mats: The Future of Temporary Haul Roads
In the world of construction, renewable energy, oil and gas, live events, and many other sectors, the need for temporary haul roads is a common requirement. These roads provide essential access for heavy vehicles, equipment, and personnel to reach remote or challenging sites. However, the traditional method of constructing these roads can be time-consuming, expensive, and environmentally unfriendly. This is where ground protection mats come into play, offering a revolutionary solution for temporary haul road construction.
Key Benefits of Using Ground Protection Mats for Temporary Haul Roads:
- Quick and Easy Installation: Ground protection mats like our XtremeMat 4x2m mats can be installed quickly and easily, saving valuable time on the project.
- Cost-Effective: By reducing the need for extensive excavation and backfilling with crushed stone, ground protection mats offer a more cost-effective solution for temporary haul road construction.
- Environmentally Friendly: Ground protection mats minimise the carbon footprint of your project by reducing the need for stone and the associated lorry journeys for its delivery and removal.
- Versatile: Our ground protection mats are suitable for a wide range of applications, including temporary site access, heavy-duty trackway, crane access trackway, and more.
Industries That Benefit from Temporary Haul Roads:
- Construction: For site access, material transportation, and machinery movement.
- Renewable Energy: For wind farm construction, solar panel installation, and other renewable energy projects.
- Oil and Gas: For exploration, drilling, and extraction sites.
- Live Events: For festivals, concerts, and outdoor events requiring temporary access roads.
