Construction Mats are, in their most basic form, access mats. They can also be called equipment mats, temporary road mats or heavy equipment mats. Construction mats create a surface on which construction equipment can function. Construction mats can be used to create temporary roadways and bridges across soft soil sites.
Using construction mats can help to reduce wear and tear as well as protect costly equipment. They also help to prevent project delays that can occur with wet or soft soil, or uneven ground that can cause equipment to sink, which then requires digging out.
