Ground Protection Companies in the UK

Cutting Damage Toll

The damage that vehicles can cause to grassed or sensitive ground areas has been only too apparent in recent years of unpredictable weather. The way to avoid an unsightly blot on the landscape and expensive reinstatement costs is to protect the ground with a temporary roadway.

Civil engineering or heritage sites, sports grounds and event venues are among the many sectors that can benefit from hiring or buying a ground protection system. As well as making the area safer for workers and users, having a system of keeping the site from being churned up presents a more professional image.

Ground protection products include panels or mats that can be linked to make a trackway, or grids that help to minimise damage and improve surface water flow in areas like grassed car parks. As ground protection tracks are frequently laid for only short periods or moved around a site during maintenance work, a system that is fast and simple to install and take up again is desirable.
