Temporary Ground Protection Systems For Any Situation

Product Description


Environmental Protection

Today it is vitally important to protect natural ground surfaces and habitats. Use ground protection mats to create temporary roadways and pathways over sensitive ground such as peat bogs and moorland tracks.


Fire Safety And Static Electricity

If ignited the mats do not spread the flame and they can be extinguished. Being made from high density polythene, they do not promote the flow of electricity so there is no build up of static electricity when they are used.

Temporary Ground Protection Systems For Any Situation


Versatile And Tough

We have temporary road panels that are capable of taking loads of up to a maximum of 120 tonnes (subject to ground conditions). They are made from high density polythene so are able to withstand extremes of heat and cold. They easy to move and install by two men without the need for heavy lifting equipment.


Ground protection mats are tough and versatile enough for a huge range of applications. They are used extensively for construction, oil, gas and water well drilling, geotechnical applications, landscaping and grounds maintenance, concrete supply, excavation and trenching, caravan and leisure parks and endless other uses.


They can protect turf from damage when heavy vehicles need to cross grassed areas and prevent equipment and vehicles from losing traction or sinking into soft ground and sand.


The mats do not suffer from the problems associated with using plywood for temporary roadways. They are virtually unbreakable, are not affected by water (no absorption, warping, rotting, delaminating) so can withstand the toughest conditions.


Strong steel joiners are used to connect adjacent mats together making a secure access road or a large firm area for work, parking or storage. Steel fixing pins can be used to secure the panels in place to avoid movement or slippage.

These rugged ground protection mats make the going easy when you need to move heavy vehicles and equipment over soft or muddy ground. Available in 3 variations to suit all ground protection needs.


Heavy Duty:

Our heavy duty panels can cope with the most challenging situations. Taking loads up to 120te they are ideal for heavy-lift installations, large vehicles and all those big jobs.


Standard Duty:

Standard duty panels easily cope with trucks, vans and construction equipment. With a load capacity up to 80te these boards make an ideal surface for equipment and material storage areas on construction and civil engineering sites.


Light Duty:

For more general purpose situations our light duty boards are perfect. Great for light vehicle and pedestrian walkways, marquee flooring and general protection on grass and muddy areas. Call for more details.
