Temporary Roadway and Ground Protection
The requirement for ambitious infrastructure projects such as solar and wind generation and the huge success and subsequent expansion of the events industry has driven a raft of innovations in this field (all puns intended). These allow mechanised plant, crane and vehicle access where even a decade ago, it would have been unthinkable.
Whether it be unspoilt countryside, palatial gardens, a hallowed sports arena or a public space, the importance of keeping our green pleasant areas intact has never been more pressing. The cost of reinstatement works coupled with the friction caused by spoiling lawns and verges means that employing systems designed to protect the ground is by far the more cost effective and desirable option.
ZIGMATS (Euromats)
Typical applications: A medium duty and relatively lightweight option with low transportation and handling costs and is fast and easy to install Tough and rugged anti slip texture, suitable for works vehicle and ‘work boots’ pedestrian use.
