How are Oilfield Mats Different from Access Mats?

Oilfield mats are a type of access mat or ground protection mat constructed to withstand heavy equipment used during oil rigging. These mats are a barrier between your equipment and crew and the ground below. For this reason, oilfield mats provide your project with numerous environmental, financial, and safety-related benefits. Oilfield mats give your workers and machinery a safe and clean environment to work in, which can lead to some significant financial savings. This is because, with oilfield mats, you reduce the risk of slip and fall injuries and your equipment getting stuck in challenging terrain. Oilfield mats also reduce your environmental impact by being a barrier between your crew and equipment. They help your project limit the number of ground disturbances and soil cross-contamination. Investing in oilfield mats for your next project is critical to keep your crew, equipment, and environment safe. No matter what industry you work in, GFI Solutions has the oilfield matting solutions you need to navigate your worksite safely. Our team is here to help you determine the optimal number of mats for your project and any other questions you may have!

CLT Mats are Your Best Option!

GFI Solutions’ Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats have gained some notoriety for being the preferred choice for numerous projects’ oilfield mats. Created through an innovative process, CLT mats are made from environmentally sustainable wood and eco-friendly adhesive. Using an adhesive rather than bolts, CLT mats weigh significantly less than traditional access mats and have greater flexibility. This flexibility allows CLT mats to bend under the pressure of heavy machinery without becoming damaged. In addition, CLT mats are incredibly durable and last about 3-5 times longer than traditional bolted mats. At GFI Solutions, we offer a variety of TerraLam CLT mats and bridges to rent or purchase. So if you’re ready to invest in high-quality oilfield mats, GFI Solutions has inventory in stock!

Why CLT?

As we’ve mentioned above, CLT mats have made a profound mark on the site access industry, and have blazed a new path forward for safer, more efficient solutions. Unlike their predecessors, CLT rig and access mats are created by bonding alternating perpendicular layers of wood with an environmentally safe adhesive. This composition allows the mats to flex under pressure and evenly distribute weight rather than putting stress on specific bolt points. With the strain being evenly distributed, the mat is far less likely to snap under pressure, even when subject to the heaviest loads caused by heavy equipment like cranes, excavators, etc. At GFI, we’re proud to feature our 500 series for rig/crane applications and offer this 5 ply mat in is a 5 ply CLT available in multiple sizes for your convenience. If you require even more strength we also offer the 700 series which is a 7 ply CLT, making it one tough mat to tackle!
