The Challenge: Protecting Public Green Space During Access Works
At a popular park with a lake and paved footpaths, heavy equipment was required to access the site for maintenance work. However, with a mix of soft grass and hard surfaces, the project team faced a challenge: how to bring in plant machinery without churning up the lawn or damaging paved areas?
This was a well-used and well-loved green space, so keeping it intact for visitors, families, and wildlife was crucial. The goal was to provide reliable access while leaving no trace.
The GroundGuards Solution: UltraTrack Pro
To overcome the challenge, GroundGuards supplied UltraTrack Pro, a heavy-duty composite mat designed to protect both hard and soft surfaces. With overlapping edges and a secure connection system, the mats locked tightly together to form a clean and stable trackway.
Installed using lifting equipment, the mats created a strong route across the park, linking grass areas to the lakeside concrete. This allowed an excavator to move across without causing ruts, sinking, or surface damage.
UltraTrack Pro’s solid surface and non-slip tread also meant it could support both vehicles and foot traffic, making it ideal for busy public environments.
Results & Outcome: Clean Site, No Damage
After the works were complete and the mats removed, the results spoke for themselves. The lawn remained intact and the hard surfaces were unmarked. No restoration work was needed.
By using UltraTrack Pro, the project team completed their task efficiently and responsibly, leaving the park as they found it.
