The Challenge: A Durable Access Solution for Heavy Vehicles
A major infrastructure project required the creation of a temporary roadway to support a wide range of construction vehicles, including excavators, trucks, and service vehicles. The access route needed to safely connect the highway to the work zone without damaging existing paved surfaces or the underlying ground.
Traditionally, such access might be built using temporary asphalt. However, this approach can lead to high reinstatement costs and surface damage, especially under the weight and frequency of heavy equipment. The client sought a more robust and reusable alternative.
The GroundGuards Solution: MaxiTrack Modular Roadway
GroundGuards recommended MaxiTrack as the ideal solution to protect the existing hard surfaces while creating a stable, long-lasting temporary road.
MaxiTrack mats are made from tough, reinforced composite and weigh just 88 lbs each, making them easy to install by hand without the need for lifting equipment. Their overlapping flange system and secure fixings lock the mats firmly in place, even when machinery is turning or reversing.
For this project, 180 MaxiTrack mats were deployed to construct a defined access route. The mats’ SmartGrip tread provided essential traction for vehicles in all weather conditions, while their modular design ensured flexibility to suit the site’s layout and loading requirements.
Installation was completed quickly and efficiently, with the mats ready to be reused on future projects — helping reduce waste and lower long-term costs.
Results & Outcome: Reliable Access, No Surface Damage
The completed roadway enabled all required construction activity to proceed smoothly. The pavement and underlying infrastructure were fully protected throughout the work, avoiding costly repairs or delays. The client was impressed by the simplicity, strength, and value of the MaxiTrack system, and appreciated the long-term reusability it offered compared to traditional surface reinstatement.
