What Are the Advantages of Temporary Ground Mats factory？
Ground Protection Mats - FODS Trackout Control System
When contractors need to get vehicles and equipment across grass or turf lawns, or other soft substrates, they run the risk of causing rutting or damage which has to be repaired. In addition, boggy areas and wet soil can cause vehicles to get stuck or even slip and lose control which could cause damage to the vehicle or property. Stabilizing substrates is an important part of site preparation which can be easily accomplished using Ground Protection Mats (GPM).

Using Ground Protection Mats, contractors avoid rutting, prevent delays, protect soft substrates and keep the job on time and in budget. Provide reliable access to vehicles, equipment, and workers to the jobsite. Create a staging area to park vehicles and equipment and keep grass and lawns protected. When high vehicle to pedestrian traffic is expected, Ground Protection Mats are the solution to ground protection hazards.
GPMs are made from High-Density Polyethlene which is extremely durable and can flex under stress. As opposed to plywood or timber mats, HDPE can be easily cleaned to avoid bringing seeds of invasive species out of the job site ensuring best practices are followed throughout multiple project lifecycles. Invasive species can be extremely difficult to remove. By using high performing products that lower costs, reduce delays, avoid environmental hazards, contractors can offer better estimates and solutions to their clients.
Ground Protection Mats (GPM) can be used as:

Ground Protection Mats (GPM) are often used for providing access to residential construction projects where trade workers are walking and wheeling in equipment. Having stable site access in muddy conditions allows work to continue without delays. In addition, to providing site access, the mats allow vehicles to enter the work site to drop of materials, and exit without ever driving on the muddy substrate. In addition, GPM can be used to protect grass, turn, or other soft substrates without requiring aggregate to be introduced to the job site.
The mats are easy to move by hand, and weight only 88 lbs. Because Ground Protection Mats are made of HDPE, they do not rot or degrade in wet conditions. The mats are built tough to last through multiple projects, and have an expected lifespan of 10 years. When building track houses, the 4' x 8' GPM mats can be hand loaded onto a standard truck to be used on the next site.
Protect the substrate, prevent rutting, and save the time and money wasted on maintaining plywood access. Ground Protection Mats provide a durable, quickly deployed system which enables residential contractors to provide resilient access ways to trade workers and keep vehicles out of the mud.
Working in remote areas typically means dealing with poor vehicle access roads or even no existing roadways. Contractors who are building energy infrastructure, power lines, or pipelines often need to build a temporary roadway to deliver supplies and heavy equipment to the job site. Contractors build access ways using temporary road matting for vehicles as they cross soft soil, grass and other sensitive substrates.
Construction matting is also used to create construction pads or staging areas on location. Cranes and excavator mats stabilize the ground beneath the legs of the equipment to avoid sinking while carrying loads. Wet weather conditions pose an additional threat to equipment that can slide and create a dangerous situation for workers and equipment. Having a stable, ridged array of mats below the equipment can help to spread out the weight and stabilize against sinking or slipping.
Skid steers and bobcats are used on projects of all sizes and commonly are used to move dirt, supplies and materials into areas that are difficult to access with a full size vehicle. When loading supplies across an unstable, sandy or wet substrate, tires and tracks can slip and the equipment can slide to the sides of the access way. Construction matting can be used to protect the equipment as well as the substrate below. Using GPM as skid steer mats can help make the access way more stable and prevent track slipping, rutting, spilling of materials, or even property damage. GPM also provides a layer of protection for curbs and sidewalks against direct impact from vehicles and equipment. While plywood and steel plates can also be used to provide access and stabilize the substrate, there is a tradeoff between durability and portability. GPM strikes a balance between these an provides contractors a durable, water proof solution that is easy to relocate and transport to the next job.

Ground Protection Mats are extremely durable and lightweight. The HDPE is also free of arsenic and does not absorb water or rot. Ground Protection Mat matting can support up to 80 tons of weight depending on the substrate and yet can also bend to avoid cracking. The mats are embedded with a diamond pattern of nubs which provide traction to vehicles and can also be turned over to provide a pattern better suited for pedestrian traffic. GPM are ideal for construction projects where small equipment such as skid steers are moving across unstable substrates and prevents soft soil from rutting. The mats are quickly assembled and linked together into any configuration needed to fit the job. With a 10+ year lifespan, the Ground Protection Mats offer a significant return on investment for contractors around the world.
Parking or storing material on dirt or another soft substrate is a muddy problem waiting to happen. A critical part of site preparation is safely staging your equipment, suppiles, and vehicles on a stable substrate. When working on loose soil and undeveloped land, creating a stabilized parking and staging pad can vehicles from getting stuck in the mud and require towing or causing costly delays. To avoid getting vehicles and equipment stuck in the mud or rutting the staging area, construction mats can be used to create a large parking or staging pad where the crew can store vehicles and material without fear of inclement weather.
Portable restroom areas also receive high foot traffic and can create muddy conditions quickly. Ground Protection Mats can stabilize the substrate under and around portable restrooms to maintain an accessible environment throughout the project.
Ground Protection Mats interlock to form any shape or size of staging area needed. Using secure bolts to and plates to secure the corners of the parking mats together, the system can be formed into one large staging mat or parking mat. The area can then be safely used for storage, parking or operating equipment and vehicles.
With all the work that goes into growing and maintaing lawns, damaging lawns, grass and even turf can be an expensive repair. Soft grassy areas and turf lawns require stabilization to avoid damage vehicles drive over. Wet or damp soil is more easily damaged, but even in dry conditions, excessive vehicle traffic will leave tracks of dead grass. High slopes and heavy loads or trailers can cause more force to be exerted by vehicles as they drive over the grass causing slipping or rutting. Lawn protection or grass protection mats can provide the stability needed during wet seasons, or to protect grass from heavy vehicle traffic or vehicle parking over extended periods.
Ground Protection Mats can be used as grass protection mats to protect the lawn and prevent construction traffic from causing damage. GMP's provide traction for vehicles as they drive and pull trailers or equipment without ripping through the grass or turf underneath. GPM's can also be used to create a staging area or as parking mats for grass and turf areas when vehicles must remain on the soft substrate for long durations.
