Ground Protection Mats For Protecting Land

Protecting the ground with bog mats or crane mats can make a significant difference to the damage construction works might inflict on the surrounding land.

Used to create temporary access roads for construction vehicles, bog mats will guard against the ground churn that can so easily result when transporting materials, workers and machinery to and from the construction site. This is particularly important during wet weather conditions or if the surrounding area is muddy or slippery.

Bog mats will create a safe surface for construction traffic to travel upon as well as create a barrier between this traffic and the underlying ground (including any underground utility pipes and services). This is of double benefit, keeping workers, vehicles and machinery safe as well as protecting the surrounding landscape. Not to mention improving efficiency and preventing delays due to inclement weather or muddy conditions, which can have a substantial financial impact.

Using bog or crane mats on the construction site itself is of similar benefit. Crane mats will create a safe and solid base for cranes, pile drivers and other heavy machinery and vehicles, however uneven or muddy it is. They can also once again protect the underlying ground from construction traffic by creating walkways, roadways and parking areas on site. This allows workers and vehicles to move about freely without risk of getting stuck or damaging sensitive ground.
