DiamondTrack™ Trackout Mats: A Practical Guide for Clean, Compliant Site Exits
DiamondTrack is a reusable, composite alternative to rock construction exits. The diamond-shaped surface forces mud and sediment from truck tires, helping you lower cleanup costs and stay SWPPP-compliant. This guide covers what DiamondTrack is, when to use it, planning & install steps, and a short case study.
Quick specs snapshot: 7' L × 12' W × 3.75" H (84 ft²) per mat, approx. 435 lb; each diamond feature is rated up to ~800 psi (subsurface-dependent).
What DiamondTrack Is (and Why It’s Different)
- Composite, not consumable: Reusable HDPE mat replaces rock entrances that constantly need replenishing.
- Diamond features that work: The geometry deforms truck tires slightly to dislodge sediment before vehicles hit the roadway.
- Fewer fines, faster cleanup: Helps meet Stabilized Construction Exit BMPs in your SWPPP and reduces end-of-job remediation.
Where It Shines
Busy construction entrances/exits, utility and municipal projects, residential developments, and any site where tracked sediment drives up street sweeping costs.
Planning, Coverage & Logistics
- Coverage: Each mat is 84 ft². For a two-lane exit, plan widths of 12–24 ft and lengths of 24–48 ft+ depending on soil and traffic.
- Staging: Ship in bundles and place near the access point so crews can install quickly without heavy equipment.
- Subgrade: Aim for compact, level ground (soil, asphalt, or concrete). Sweep loose debris first for best performance.
- Cleaning & reuse: Pressure-wash when needed; move the bundle to the next job—no rock removal costs.
Step-by-Step Install (Field-Simple)
- Establish the exit footprint and compact the base if needed.
- Set the first mat flush to the roadway; align the diamond features in traffic direction.
- Add mats to reach target length; verify edges are tight to prevent wobble.
- Optional: stake edges or add curb/edge restraints where turning forces are high.
Performance Benefits (Plain-English)
- Better tire scrub: The shape increases contact and shear so mud drops before trucks hit public roads.
- Durability: Composite construction resists breakage and permanent deformation under heavy loads.
- ROI: Eliminates repeated rock purchases and end-of-project rock removal—pays back in just a few projects.
Case Study: Subdivision Build-Out, Two-Lane Exit
A residential developer replaced a 40-ft rock exit with four DiamondTrack mats (two wide × two long) at the main gate. Daily traffic included concrete trucks, dump trucks, and pickups.
Results: Street-sweeping frequency dropped from daily to twice weekly, sediment carryout citations went to zero, and the crew saved on rock delivery and final removal. After the first phase, mats were pressure-washed and redeployed to the next entrance the same day.
