The Challenge: On-Site Construction Left Staff Without Parking

During ongoing construction at Spire Manchester Hospital, Siemens faced an operational challenge. Their usual staff car park was taken over by building materials and site traffic, making it unavailable for daily use. To maintain normal operations, Siemens needed to urgently convert a nearby 5,300m² grass field into a safe and reliable temporary car park for up to 250 vehicles.

Time was critical. The solution needed to be fast to install, strong enough for daily vehicle use, and suitable for soft ground without causing long-term damage.

The GroundGuards Solution: MultiTrack Mats

GroundGuards recommended MultiTrack, the ideal system for this type of temporary installation.

Weighing just 39kg, each MultiTrack mat can be laid by hand without lifting equipment, making the installation fast and cost-effective. The mats provide a robust surface with excellent traction and weight distribution, capable of withstanding repeated vehicle movements over several weeks.

Thanks to the straightforward joining system, GroundGuards’ team installed the entire car park quickly and efficiently. The job was completed ahead of schedule and within budget.

Results & Outcome: A Functional, Safe Car Park Delivered Ahead of Schedule

The result was a clean, well-structured 250-space car park that served Siemens’ staff throughout the seven-week project period.

By using MultiTrack, Siemens avoided major disruption, maintained employee access, and prevented any long-term damage to the greenfield site. The temporary car park looked professional and performed exactly as required, helping keep the project on track.
