In heavy construction and industrial projects, ground protection is essential for safety, minimizing damage, and ensuring efficiency. While various matting solutions exist, understanding the differences between crane mats and composite mats is key. Crane mats, made from dense hardwood timbers, are built to handle extreme loads and support heavy equipment on rough terrain. Composite mats, Read More

In industries where temporary access is essential, maintaining surface integrity is a constant challenge. Construction zones, utility projects, renewable energy fields, and event setups often require stable ground support in areas prone to soft, uneven, or environmentally sensitive terrain. This is where composite mats provide an effective and durable solution. Engineered to withstand heavy loads Read More

The race for renewables is on, and solar power is one of the energy sources that has driven this boom in recent years. In fact, photovoltaic capacity around the world grew by 50% in 2016 alone, accounting for the highest net growth among all energy sources. Solar farms are transforming the way the world consumes power, and Read More

Emphasizing proper safety techniques during all construction projects is of the utmost importance, but particularly so when such projects occur around bodies of water. Marine-related construction projects can range from building docks and bridges, all the way to the construction of man-made seawalls and the use of barges. Thus, a number of marine construction safety Read More

In the construction industry, time is money. It’s essential to move heavy equipment as quickly as possible in order to complete a project on-time and within the budget. The problem is, doing things quickly tends to kick up massive amounts of dust — which is found in abundance on many construction sites. When excavators, bulldozers, Read More

We’re no strangers to stadiums here in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. In fact, there have been quite a few built in recent years, including TCF Bank Stadium (2009), CHS Field (2015), U.S. Bank Stadium (2016), and the most recent: the yet to be completed Allianz Field, which is set to be the home Read More

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

Construction projects can be massive, which means they often require teams to use heavy equipment to get the job done right. Using this equipment can slowly degrade the environment over time, so before you move forward, it’s important to develop a well thought out plan to help mitigate any negative impacts that your work could Read More

In the forestry industry, moving heavy equipment through difficult terrain is a common occurrence. Creeks and streams wind through densely wooded areas, and these bodies of water present unique challenges to foresters who must cross them to get from point A to point B. Timber mats provide a versatile bridge solution for most stream crossings, giving foresters Read More

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun cleaning up soil contaminated with arsenic near Brown Pond in Davers, Massachusetts, according to a report from The Salem News. It’s thought that arsenic contamination can contribute to serious health problems in humans, including cancer and diseases related to the circulatory and respiratory systems. The arsenic-positive soil is Read More
