NAVIGATING SWAMPS AND WETLANDS

When used to create temporary roadways and staging platforms, construction mats for swamps and wetlands create solid footing for crews and heavy vehicles. This provides a number of significant benefits. For example, laying access mats over wet soil makes it easier for trucks and other heavy equipment to reach areas of the site where paved roads don’t go. They also enable workers and vehicles to move throughout the project zone without picking up dirt that could become lodged in wheels or tracks. By using matting, you reduce debris from being carried off site where it could potentially violate local statutes. Keeping machines cleaner also helps ensure that they’ll experience fewer mechanical problems and require less maintenance.

When working in environmentally sensitive areas, swamp mats and other matting options provide another crucial benefit. They protect delicate vegetation and wildlife habitats because they disperse pressure exerted on the ground by heavy machinery and prevent it from disturbing fragile structures.
