The Challenge: Soft Ground at the Roadside
A project team in North Yorkshire needed to get vehicles and equipment safely from a roadside onto a grassy working area. The ground was soft and uneven, making it unsuitable for direct access without protection. There was a risk of rutting, delays, and potential damage to the surface if left untreated.
The GroundGuards Solution: ProMat Ground Protection
To create a reliable access road, the team chose ProMat – a lightweight and tough ground protection mat that can be installed by hand. Each panel weighs just 32 kilograms and features built-in hand holes, making it easy for a two-person crew to lay out quickly and efficiently.
The mats were delivered to site from GroundGuards’ large stock holding and installed directly onto the soft grass. The aggressive tread pattern gave grip for both vehicles and foot traffic, and the structure of the mats provided strong support throughout the project.
The simple handling and rapid deployment of ProMat kept the project moving without any hold-ups.
Results & Outcome: Protected Ground and Smooth Access
With ProMat in place, the team had stable access across the soft verge for the duration of the job. The mats prevented rutting and surface damage, and once the work was complete, they were removed without trace.
The ground remained in excellent condition and the client was pleased with the ease and speed of the solution.
