The Challenge: Preserving a Scenic Filming Location
A renowned estate, chosen as a key location for a Netflix historical drama, required careful ground protection to support a large-scale production.
The site needed to accommodate a full crew, heavy vehicles, and equipment, all while safeguarding the estate’s sensitive grassland and sloping terrain near the water’s edge. With multiple weeks of filming planned, the risk of ground damage was high. The production team required a robust solution that would balance site protection with the fast-paced demands of a busy filming schedule.
The GroundGuards Solution: MaxiTrack Ground Protection Mats
GroundGuards supplied and installed MaxiTrack, our most versatile hand-installable ground protection system.
The mats were used to build safe access routes across the grass, as well as pad areas for crew operations, staging, and equipment. MaxiTrack’s strength and grip made it ideal for protecting the terrain while providing reliable support for foot traffic, vehicles, and temporary compounds.
Despite the estate’s remote location, logistics ran smoothly. Our team delivered and installed the mats efficiently, coordinating with the production schedule to avoid disruption. The use of MaxiTrack ensured the estate’s natural features were preserved without compromising the demands of the shoot.
Results & Outcome: Protected Ground and Smooth Operations
The project was a success. The estate remained protected throughout filming, with no lasting damage to the landscape. The production team had safe, reliable access to every area they needed.
This project highlights how MaxiTrack delivers dependable ground protection not only for construction and utility projects but also for film and TV productions working in sensitive or high-profile locations.
