Winter is well underway and with the freeze/thaw just around the corner, the importance of having viable site access solutions is key. Access mats are a dependable way to navigate changing terrains and ensure your fleet, as well as your equipment, are protected against the challenged posed by mud, slush, rain, and other spring weather byproducts. GFI Solutions is proud to be one of Canada’s leading suppliers of access mats and offers exclusive access to Sterling Solutions’ line of TerraLam® mats. As the newest evolution that improves on the performance of standard bolted mats, TerraLam® Cross Laminated Timber mats have quickly become one of the top choices on the market trusted by project managers in the construction, oil & gas, renewable energy, petrochemical, mining, power and related industries. Learn the benefits of using access mats, as well as TerraLam®’s innovative solutions, below.
No More Terrain Headaches
One of the biggest challenges facing remote job sites how variable the Canadian landscape can be. Rugged and uneven terrain can make it difficult to transport goods and materials to and from the site, and each season presents new challenges, particularly as they change. Access mats help to circumvent the dangers and difficulties posed by the landscape and ensure you’re able to keep your project on track without fearing the risks posed by mud, sleet, and more. With multiple compositions and weight capabilities, TerraLam®’s line of Cross Laminated Timber matting solutions offers superior performance, standing up to the demand of heavy loads and constant use and giving you the reliable path you need when it matters most.
TerraLam® CLT Mats: The New Solution You Can Trust
If you’ve used traditional bolted mats for decades, you’re not alone. Though bolted access mats were once the industry standard and served as the main way to build temporary roads, recent years have seen the development of newer, better solutions like TerraLam® CLT mats. Unlike their predecessors, TerraLam® CLT mats use environmentally safe adhesives to bond planks together, as opposed to bolts. While bolted mats are only able to transfer the burden of a load at the location of their fasteners, adhered TerraLam® access mats distribute the weight evenly throughout the entire mat, which allows for increased flexibility that prevents cracks and breakages, even under extreme weight loads. In addition, CLT mats are 40% lighter, offer a longer lifecycle (3-5x the length of bolted mats), and heavy-duty models like TerraLam®’s 500 model can easily be used in place of standard rig or crane mats.
