Ground Protection

Ground Protection

 

It’s essential that construction and roadwork sites are safe and compliant for workers and the public. During ground works, conditions can become uneven and hazardous, so proper ground protection is needed to reduce risks and prevent damage. We offer a range of ground protection products designed to suit different site conditions and applications.

Ground Protection Mats

 

Ground protection mats are heavy-duty panels used to protect soft ground while allowing vehicles and people to move safely over it. They’re commonly used on construction sites, events, and temporary access routes.

 

Made from strong recycled plastic (HDPE), they can support heavy machinery and loads of up to around 120 tonnes depending on conditions.

 

They create a stable, non-slip surface that helps prevent vehicles getting stuck in mud or slipping in bad weather, while also protecting grass and soil from damage like rutting and compaction.

Road Plates
& Trench Covers

 

Road plates and trench covers are used to cover open excavations during construction and roadworks so people and vehicles can still pass safely. Road plates are usually made from heavy steel and are designed for roads and heavy traffic, while trench covers are lighter (often plastic) and more suited to footpaths and pedestrian areas.

Ramps & Speed Bumps

 

Ramps and speed bumps are designed to make sites safer and more controlled by helping manage both vehicle and pedestrian movement. They’re used on construction sites, car parks, events, and workplaces where you need to control access and reduce speed while still keeping areas usable.

 

The range includes things like wheelchair kerb ramps, construction site access ramps, cable protection ramps, and speed bump systems. These are made to deal with different situations, from helping pedestrians move safely over kerbs to protecting cables and slowing down vehicles in busy areas.
