Timber mats play a critical role in facilitating the safe and efficient movement of heavy construction equipment, particularly across uneven terrain and in remote or environmentally sensitive locations. While their operational value on job sites is well understood, proper handling of timber mats themselves—during cleaning, transport, and installation—is essential to maximize longevity, ensure safety, and Read More

Timber mats are an extremely durable and efficient option for carrying out construction projects in wetlands and on rugged terrains. They can be placed on the ground, protecting the surrounding environment from damage that could otherwise be caused by heavy construction equipment. Additionally, they help protect equipment from tipping over and getting stuck in the Read More

Before any construction project begins, it’s extremely important to assess ground conditions. Failure to do so could not only result in making project completion that much harder, but also dangerous and a threat to the construction crew’s health. Without proper stabilization, uneven grounds or those with weak soil conditions can cause heavy construction equipment to Read More

We’ve already discussed how timber mats are great when it comes to transporting heavy construction equipment across wetlands – but how about when there’s a ditch that presents a significant obstacle that at first appears too problematic for even mats to handle? The obvious solution here is to construct some kind of crossing. That being Read More

Whether you are using brand new timber mats or you are using used construction mats, we cannot stress the importance of properly cleaning the mat when your project is finished. You probably already know how environmentally friendly construction mats are and their critical role in preserving a natural space. However, you want to make sure Read More

We talked earlier about the many uses of mats in the construction world and what kind of mat is appropriate for each task. But what about non-traditional uses for mats? While laminated mats are better at handling smaller amounts of pressure, they are less likely to impact the environment around them, making them perfect for Read More

In the construction industry, the use of both timber and laminated mats can go a long way towards achieving desired results – whether it’s the construction of temporary bridges, adding proper excavation support, building decks or providing for any number of other projects. Without a doubt, mats are useful. Overall, you could say that they Read More
