Construction

Heavy Civil & Construction Matting

Construction sites need a running surface that survives repeated plant movements and a stable pad wherever a crane sets up, without turning the site into mud after the first week of rain.

What this application demands

Haul routes under repeated traffic

A road mat laid end to end gives fewer joints per kilometre than access mats laid across, which means less surface migration under repeated passes.

Crane setups on made ground

Crane mats are sized from outrigger load against the allowable ground bearing pressure in the geotechnical report. The mat spreads the load, it does not improve the ground.

Common questions

How many mats does a construction site need?

It depends on the running width and route length for haul roads, and on outrigger load for crane pads. The mat calculator estimates quantities from site dimensions and mat type.
