What are Oilfield Mats?
Oilfield mats, also called rig mats or ground protection mats, are used during oil rigging. They provide a physical barrier between oil equipment and the ground below. There are plenty of environmental, financial, and safety benefits of oilfield mats. Regarding safety, rig mats provide a safe and clean working environment for crew members. This leads to significant financial savings as you reduce the chances of slip and fall injuries. Environmentally rig mats create a barrier between your workers and whatever is below your worksite. They also minimize your environmental footprint by reducing ground disturbances and preventing soil and weed contamination.
Completing a project in the oil and gas industry is dangerous without mats, but that’s not the only industry to use these access mats. From oil and gas to construction, refinery, and more ground protection mats are essential for many industries. Using GFI Soltuions’ rig mats will stabilize and support oil rigs and other equipment to give you peace of mind and establish a safe job site.
CLT Mats Make a Difference
GFI Solutions’ Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats quickly become the preferred choice for oilfield mats. CLT mats are made using an innovative process involving bonding alternating perpendicular layers of environmentally sustainable wood with an adhesive. Bonding the planks together allows the mat to weigh less and flex under the weight of heavy equipment and machinery without breaking. Since they weigh up to 40% less than traditional bolted mats and offer a life cycle that is 3-5 times longer, CLT mats are a worthwhile investment for your project. At GFI, we offer TerraLam CLT mats in the 300 and 500 series.
