Applications for Access Mats
Access mats support workers and equipment that require a structural roadway to provide stable passage over rugged terrain, pipelines, or protected environments. They’re often used in environmentally sensitive or remote areas like wetlands and swamps to offer a sound foundation. For these reasons, access mats are used across Canadian environments to reduce the risk of environmental cross-contamination, equipment getting stuck, and worker injury.
Access matting has been used in various industrial and commercial applications. This may include temporary or single-use applications such as construction or oil and gas projects where the mats are only required for a short period. However, you can reuse access mats over several projects over multiple seasons in many other industries where challenging terrain or environmental concerns are a factor. At GFI Solutions, our team can assist you in determining the number of access mats your project may require. In addition, we can also provide you with TerraCross access bridges and a range of beneficial services like delivery and installation.
The Perks of CLT Mats
TerraLam Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats offer plenty of benefits. From an extended lifespan to its unique eco-friendly adhesive, and more! CLT mats are an excellent option for all types of project sites. These access mats have a 3-5 times longer lifespan than traditional bolted mats and are manufactured sustainably. In particular, CLT mats can save you significant money as they’re lighter and more affordable than traditional bolted access mats. CLT mats save you money on:
- Transportation costs
- Maintenance costs
- Replacement costs
- Labour costs, and more!
With significant savings in these four areas, CLT mats allow you to reprioritize your project’s funds to other essential areas. At GFI Solutions, our TerraLam CLT access mats can improve your project’s accessibility and safety. As mentioned above, utilizing access mats can save time and money.
