The Challenge: Reaching a Remote Site Without Causing Damage

A site investigation crew needed to access a remote area in the UK with vans, drilling rigs, and other vehicles. The route to the site crossed uneven ground with soft, sloping terrain. Any attempt to drive across it without protection would risk serious rutting, ground damage, and project delays.

Avoiding costly remediation and ensuring quick, reliable access was essential. The team turned to GroundGuards for a practical, cost-effective solution.

The GroundGuards Solution: AlturnaMat for Lightweight, Rapid Deployment

After visiting and assessing the site, GroundGuards recommended AlturnaMat, a highly portable and easy-to-install matting system ideal for this type of cross-country access.

Each AlturnaMat is lightweight and can be laid by hand without the need for lifting machinery. This made it possible to build a robust temporary access roadway quickly and efficiently, even on uneven terrain.

With a high-traction surface and the flexibility to follow ground contours, AlturnaMat helped reduce slipping hazards and ensured safe travel for vehicles across the site.

Results and Outcome: Fast Access with No Ground Damage

The mats were laid quickly and provided instant access to the remote site. The crew was pleased with the solution, which was fast to install, simple to handle, and reusable for future work.

Thanks to AlturnaMat, the project stayed on schedule without delays or costly damage to the ground. A clean and efficient result.
