Ground protection mat applications in the construction industry

 |
Ground protection mats have many uses in the construction industry both for ground protection and enabling safe access for vehicles and plant.
- Protect existing blockwork, tarmac or grassed areas
- Provide safe roadways and walkways over soft ground
- Provide clean areas for material storage
- Easy to handle, lay and move to new positions
- Reduce costs for remedial work
Whether you are a homeowner constructing something small in your garden like a swimming pool or building specialists putting up houses or improving roads, the ground you are working on and around can get dirty and easily damaged.
If you have a landscaped garden, expensive playing field or tarmac road you won't want it being damaged by bad weather, plant machinery or heavy usage.
That is why we at Ground Access Hire believe ground protection mats are ideal to use in the construction industry.
The heavy duty non-slip mats protect the area beneath whilst providing safe access for plant machinery and pedestrians, who can walk on a level surface free from harm.
The ground protection mats have many uses in the construction industry and can be used for safeguarding your existing blockwork, tarmac or grassed areas from heavy loads and machinery whilst enabling an easy site route for vehicles and plant hire.
The easy to handle mats can be used for heavy traffic and are a popular product on building sites as they can sustain constant use. Once laid you can rest assured that you have the infrastructure in place to provide safe roadways and walkways over soft and uneven ground.
The mats we provide for hire are strong enough to carry vehicles like JCBs and other machinery up to 60 tonnes. The non-slip surface reduces the risk of skidding and the build up of mud in wet weather which could prove dangerous and slippery for heavy plant machinery. Their unique self cleaning grip surface is aimed at dispelling mud but will still give grip to vehicles or pedestrians as they cross the Trakmat.
Our team, based in North Wakes, are used to dealing with the ever increasing demands within the construction industry and can meet all your engineering and safety needs. This means that we can overcome ground condition difficulties which often result in project delays and extra costs.
Within the construction industry, increasing issues with health and safety, the environment and property damage are making ground cover a must. Many other makeshift ground covers deteriorate quickly and can be unsafe and slippery. Plastic cannot handle the heavy weight of construction traffic and aluminium mats can prove costly.
By using our ground protection mats the ground will be safe guarded and there will be no re-instatement costs to re-grass public areas or parkland and brickwork and tarmac will be unscathed.
In addition, our mats can be laid over ground which is already waterlogged and/or prone to flooding.
So whether you're looking to pave the way for delivery access or need to lay down temporary roadways or even temporary car parks we have the product for you.
Our ground protection mats will save you, our customer, time and money by keeping site access and maintenance to a minimum. The boards will also ensure materials stored are kept clean and well preserved.
Ground Access Hire's boards are easy to handle and weigh just 33kgs. The TrakMats are made from lightweight, durable HD Polyethylene, one of the toughest materials available. They connect easily and are joined together with Urethane connectors and bolts. The only equipment required to tighten the bolts is an Impact Driver and a 14mm socket.
However, we can also discuss a wide range of other connection options for semi-permanent or more demanding applications. These include erecting the mats on steep or sloping terrain or for carrying extremely heavy and tracked plant machinery.
Either connection system ensures that the mats do not move as vehicles or plant cross, reducing any potential damage and increasing ground protection.
Assembly couldn't be easier and two people should be able to confidently lift the mats which have hand cut outs to make construction easier. This cuts out the need to use expensive crane wagons, saving you even more money.
We are confident that our ground protection mats provide safer and more efficient working conditions for people using and visiting your building site whilst also promoting safer and more professional images to visitors, clients and customers.
The ground protection mats we supply are made from a tough and durable material which is rot proof and minimises environmental damage.
What is more, with virtually no scrap value our products are unlikely to be stolen from construction sites.
We are happy to discuss all your needs and can provide ground protection products for hire throughout the UK. We can also provide an efficient delivery, installation, decommissioning and collection service to construction sites throughout the country.
