Civil Engineering Ground Protection
Keep civil engineering projects moving with temporary roads, work platforms and compounds for heavy machinery. We supply manufacturer grade mats in pallet and container loads from European ports, with export paperwork handled.
Why Ground Protection Matters In Civil Engineering
Civil engineering sites often combine heavy machinery, changing levels and exposed ground that must stay accessible in all weather. Without the right ground protection, tracks can break down, structures and surfaces can be damaged and works can slow or stop.
GroundGuards Global supports civils contractors, engineers, rental fleets and distributors who need dependable mat systems to keep projects safe, efficient and on schedule.

Temporary Roadways That Stay Open
Earthworks, drainage and bridge schemes rely on access routes that carry repeated heavy traffic. Bare ground can quickly turn to ruts and boggy sections that slow everything down. Using mats for temporary roadways and haul roads helps you:
- Keep machinery and deliveries moving on soft or saturated ground
- Maintain safe, predictable access to work fronts in all seasons
- Reduce rutting, ground disturbance and clean up at the end of the job

Work Platforms For Lifting & Drilling
Cranes, piling rigs, drilling equipment and concrete pumps all need stable, level working areas. Soft or uneven ground can affect lift plans, safety factors and productivity. Mat based work platforms help you:
- Provide consistent support for cranes and lifting equipment
- Create clean, level areas for piling, drilling and concrete operations
- Protect the underlying ground while meeting site safety requirements

Protect Hard Surfaces During Construction
Many civils projects involve working over bridge decks, pavements, slabs or finished surfaces that still need protection during later stages. Direct traffic can cause cracking, chipping and costly repair work. Using mats for hard surface protection helps you:
- Shield concrete, asphalt, resin and paving from damage during construction
- Spread loads from heavy machinery over a wider area
- Reduce reinstatement work and programme risk before handover

Protect Sensitive Ground & Cut Remediation Costs
Civil engineering schemes often cross farmland, waterways, verges and habitats where ground damage is expensive to put right. Deep ruts, contamination and erosion can add significant remediation costs once the work is finished. Using mats to protect surfaces and sensitive areas helps you:
- Limit rutting, compaction and erosion in reinstatement sensitive zones
- Reduce soil disturbance and contamination around work corridors
- Lower end of project reinstatement and remediation costs for clients and landowners
Site Applications For Civil Engineering Projects
Our ground protection systems support every phase of civil engineering work, from access roads and site compounds to public safety and environmental care.
