Applications for HDPE Ground Protection Mats

Oct. 21, 2021

HDPE ground protection mats are perfect for handling heavy equipment as they are chemical and oil resistant and their flexibility allows you to navigate uneven terrain with ease! They are particularly useful when working in challenging environments; to ensure the safety of you and your equipment, you need to make sure you have a stable and sturdy worktop. 

 

Construction sites and landscaping

Parking and storing materials at your construction site or landscaping project can be a very convenient, time-saving option! However, you could damage equipment and get your wheels stuck in mud or snow. Instead of letting unpredictable weather conditions delay your outdoor projects, let temporary road mats ease your worries! Mats can be laid down to create large parking or staging areas for your crews and vehicles delivering or storing materials, and their long lifespan allows you to keep these areas in place for months without worrying about long-term damage to the mats. In addition, these ground protection mats can create walkways for your crew, thus reducing the risk of injury from slips and falls in muddy or wet weather!

Utilities and power industry

Utility services and power providers (such as linemen) can use mats for heavy equipment to provide a safe, even working environment. These industries use a range of heavy equipment, including pole erectors, directional drills, and bucket trucks, which can be tricky to navigate in uneven terrain. Ground protection mats are durable enough to support these heavy machines and allow easy access to hard-to-reach locations. Alternatively, you can purchase non-conductive HDPE ground protection mats! This material prevents cross-contamination from heavy machinery and is non-conductive, making it ideal for power and utility companies.

 

Grass protection

Protecting the environment around your workplace is an important factor to consider before driving heavy equipment over terrain. They are capable of withstanding at least 60 tonnes of pressure without damaging the ground beneath. You don't have to worry about tire tracks, raising mud, or getting stuck in the mud and upsetting your customers. Even in soft or wet conditions, these HDPE mats will be as smooth as the day you left them!

Oil and gas projects

Projects in the oil and gas industry can often become very confusing and difficult to navigate. Most importantly, many oil fields and pipelines are located on beautiful farmland, which makes the construction of permanent roads complex, if not impossible. Heavy-duty ground protection mats help solve this problem! By using ground mats for the heavy equipment you can create temporary roads that won't damage the environment and their interlocking properties allow you to widen the road as needed! The unstable ground can lead to delays and risk of injury, especially in oil fields. These ground protection mats are an excellent solution, providing traction and staying in place no matter how messy the site becomes. Create a safe site with HDPE ground protection mats while keeping the local environment safe!

 

Towing support

Trying to tow heavy vehicles or machinery uphill, especially on loose terrain or in wet conditions, can put extra strain on your machinery and crew. These temporary road mats provide the traction needed to tow vehicles up hills, across uneven terrain, and through adverse weather conditions. This is the best way to help machines traverse areas that would otherwise be impossible. They are non-slip, which means that once you have parked your vehicle correctly and safely in the parking area on top of the heavy-duty ground protection mat, it will not slip or slide off the mat as it would in grass or dirt.

 

It's great for foot traffic too, creating a safe pathway around the site or construction site. No need to worry about crews slipping and getting injured on-site; provide them with a safe, easy and lightweight path to navigate!
