In today’s construction landscape, contractors seek materials that combine strength, efficiency, and sustainability. Traditional wood mats often lack long-term durability, require frequent upkeep, and perform inconsistently across different site conditions. The construction industry’s ongoing demand for dependable temporary access and ground protection has led to a noticeable shift, as contractors are increasingly turning to composite Read More

Working in marshes, wetlands, or swampy environments requires more than just skilled labor and reliable machinery—it also demands proper ground support. Projects carried out in water-saturated and soft terrain are often hindered by difficult access, equipment instability, and the risk of environmental damage. In such conditions, dependable support is essential to ensure operational efficiency and Read More

Construction, utility, and environmental projects often operate in conditions where the terrain is unstable, muddy, or sensitive. Heavy equipment can cause significant ground disturbance if not supported properly, leading to costly delays, safety hazards, or environmental damage. Timber mats are a strategic solution, providing a solid, stable base that enables machinery to function smoothly across Read More

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

The Twin Cities have seen significant stadium development in recent years, with projects such as TCF Bank Stadium, CHS Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, and Allianz Field. These large-scale builds demand precision, safety, and reliable ground support throughout every phase of construction. Timber ground mats play a critical role in stadium construction by providing stable access 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
