Keep survey teams moving and equipment stable with mats for boreholes, trial pits and investigation works on soft or sensitive ground, supplied worldwide in pallet and container loads from European ports.
Create access routes for survey rigs, support vehicles and teams across wet, rutted or reinstatement sensitive ground.
Provide level, high grip platforms for drilling rigs, CPT units, welfare and storage on uneven surfaces.
Protect topsoil, turf and sensitive ground conditions so reinstatement after investigations is faster and cheaper.
Pallet and container loads leave European ports under your chosen incoterms with export documentation and technical support handled by our team.
Survey and investigation work often happens first on site, before permanent roads or compounds are in place. Rigs and support vehicles must cross farmland, brownfield ground, sensitive habitats and constrained urban sites where access is difficult and ground disturbance must be controlled. Without the right mat system, vehicles can become bogged down, rigs sit on unstable bases and reinstatement costs rise.
Composite mats create stable access routes and working areas so investigation work can proceed safely and on schedule. They help keep rigs level, protect underlying strata, and limit damage to reinstatement sensitive surfaces. GroundGuards Global supports geotechnical engineers, environmental consultants, utilities and energy developers, civil contractors, military survey teams, rental fleets and distributors who need dependable access for surveys on every project.
Using composite mats for ground survey and site investigation gives bulk buyers, rental fleets and distributors a flexible toolkit that works across many site types. Our systems are proven in demanding hire fleets, and we support partners with training, layout guidance and sales materials so their teams can specify survey solutions with confidence.
Ground survey mats interlock to form access tracks, turning areas and working pads that spread loads from rigs and vehicles. Surface textures provide traction for tyres and tracks while protecting the ground from rutting and contamination. Layouts can include narrow approaches, turning circles, rig pads, welfare zones and equipment storage, all built from the same modular system.
Panels can be deployed by hand or light machinery, depending on product choice and site rules, which makes them suitable for remote locations and constrained urban sites. Once investigations are complete, mats are lifted, cleaned and redeployed to the next project, giving you long life assets rather than one use stone or timber.
Our systems are independently tested and supported with conservative, application based load guidance so you can match each mat type to rig weight, vehicle loading and ground conditions with confidence.
Weight loading is not always straightforward, so read our weight loading guide before you choose.
Survey and investigation mats are used wherever early stage ground data is needed on soft or sensitive sites. Explore sector specific guidance and case studies for your market.
GroundGuards mats support investigation work on farmland, brownfield sites, highways schemes and energy projects worldwide. These examples show how composite systems perform in different environments.
These mats are our most popular options for survey access routes, rig pads and investigation platforms. Pricing is available on request for pallet and container quantities.
