The Challenge: A Last-Minute Need for Safety on the Sand

A popular outdoor film festival was set to draw thousands of visitors to the beachfront over several weeks of screenings, food, and live entertainment.

But in the final stages of preparation, the organizers faced an urgent challenge. To meet safety requirements, they needed effective ground protection that would allow safe pedestrian access across the beach, particularly in the event of wet weather. With time running out, they needed a fast, dependable solution.

The GroundGuards Solution: AlturnaMat Mats Delivered Overnight

The festival team turned to GroundGuards for help. We recommended our AlturnaMat system - a robust, non-slip mat ideal for pedestrian traffic.

AlturnaMat mats are strong yet lightweight, making them quick and easy to install without machinery. Designed with safety in mind, they provide excellent traction even in poor weather conditions.

Our team acted immediately. Within 24 hours of the initial call, a full delivery of AlturnaMat mats was en route. Once on site, the mats were laid quickly, transforming sections of the beach into safe, stable walkways for thousands of festivalgoers.

Results & Outcome: A Safe, Successful Event

Thanks to the rapid response and the reliability of the AlturnaMat system, the event went ahead without a hitch.

The organizer later shared their appreciation:
“We honestly could not have opened without your mats! We were tremendously impressed with your professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to handle last-minute changes.”

With safe walkways in place, attendees could enjoy the festival regardless of weather, and the beach remained protected throughout.
