The Importance Of Landscape Protection Mats For Construction

Construction sites are constantly improving their practices to avoid significant issues caused by environmental damage. Ground protection mats play a major part in helping the environment and allowing the construction world to steer clear of fines.

Landscape protection mats are very important for safeguarding ground surfaces as well as landscapes during heavy construction projects. The use of these mats are used in just about all projects in the industry to make sure the integrity of the ground is maintained and the impact on the environment is kept at an all-time low. In this article, we will cover some important applications and the benefits of ground protection mats in the construction industry while emphasizing significant key roles in today's construction practices.

What Are Ground Protection Mats?

Ground protection mats are panels that are constructed to distribute the weight of heavy equipment and machinery, large vehicles, and foot traffic covering a large area of land to prevent damage. These mats are made from HDPE or high-density polyethylene. The mats are strong, will prevent slippage, and withstand extreme loads. These mats are modular, interlocking, and designed for busy pathways and active work areas. Protection mats are flexible and long-lasting making them perfect for construction sites that range from muddy fields to vulnerable landscape areas.

Why Protection Mats Are Needed

Construction sites are very active throughout the day with construction workers, heavy equipment, other machinery, and endless excavation. These sites are famous for soil compaction, erosion, and destroying vegetation. At a significant cost, it will take time to restore the damage that has taken place will lead to costly delays.

Surfaces that are unprotected will become safety hazards for workers and equipment such as slipping, tripping, and equipment sinking into soft damaged soil. Ground protection mats are designed to address these issues by offering a stable, secure foundation for all forms of construction work.

Applications For Ground Protection Mats

These mats are used for a huge range of applications required in construction sites:

For Access Roads

Temporary access roads are mandatory for machinery and vehicles to enter and exit construction sites without causing damage to the underground terrain.

Stable Platforms

Construction sites need stable platforms for drilling equipment, cranes, and other large, heavy equipment to operate safely.

Pedestrian Walkways

These walkways are safe and free of mud and debris for workers and other pedestrians to get around the site without issues.

Infrastructure And Utility Installation

The mats will protect curbs, sidewalks, pavements, and landscapes during installation projects or repairs to infrastructure and utilities.

For Events

Protection mats are also used for other applications and not construction work. The mats will protect the ground as well as other surfaces during major events.

The Benefits Of Ground Protection Mats

Using ground protection mats in construction will provide many advantages beyond environmental protection such as operational applications including:

Sod on Pallet

Protecting Surfaces

Protecting the ground from damage, preserving the landscape, and needing less restoration. These are just a few leading benefits of protection mats.

Distributing Weight

The mats spread the weight from heavy loads to prevent soil compaction and keep the ground healthy.

Improve Safety

To prevent accidents and injuries, the mats provide non-slip surfaces on the site.

Lower Costs

The lower the damage, the lower the cost for restoration and possible fines for environmental damage.

Access To Other Areas

These mats will give you access to areas that would otherwise be difficult to enter for other projects due to terrain and weather conditions.

Installing Brick Pavers

Environmental Compliance

Many projects are subject to strict environmental restrictions. Using ground protection mats in compliance with these regulations will decrease the ecological footprint of construction activities.

How To Choose The Right Ground Protection Mats

Load Capacity: The mats must be able to support the weight of the heaviest equipment and vehicles used for the project.

Terrain: Certain soil conditions such as grass, soft soil, and uneven ground will dictate your choice of mats as some are designed for specific ground conditions.

The Size And Interlocking System: The size of the mats and their interlocking system should cover the area and form a seamless surface.

Stamina And Material: The material should be strong and able to resist wear and tear, as well as resist chemicals and weather conditions. The material should be strong and able to resist wear and tear, as well as resist chemicals and weather conditions.

The Environment: For projects with environmental issues, you need mats made of recyclable material or created to minimize ecological impact.

Best Practices

To increase the abilities of ground protection mats, you have to follow best practices for great results.

Correct Installation

The mats must be laid out and interlocked according to the instructions of the manufacturer. You need a stable, uniform surface.

Inspections

Regular inspections should be performed on the mats for signs of damage or possible displacements. Make the proper adjustments as quickly as possible if problems have surfaced.

Maintenance And Cleaning

Mats will need proper cleaning to restore the material and remove mud, chemicals, and debris. Maintaining and cleaning will improve the lifespan of the product and improve its effectiveness.

Transportation And Storage

Transportation and storage should be carried out properly to prevent damage to the product when not in use.
