Ground Protection Mats

Ground protection mats prevent heavy equipment, vehicles and pedestrian traffic from damaging the ground. At the same time, ground mats create stable surfaces so that vehicles and people can safely traverse soft soils.

GEOTERRA GTO mat supports heavy equipment

Ground Protection Mat Applications:

Construction entrances
Utility roads
Trails
Golf course renovations and maintenance
Beach accesses
Landscaping projects
Athletic field construction
Events

GEOTERRA Construction Mats

Connect multiple mats together with PADLOCs to create a custom-sized ground protection system

Heavy duty HDPE mat

Same cellular mold as the GEOBLOCK grass paver

Benefits

Lightweight

Weather resistant recycled polyethylene

Safe and easy installations

Applications

ATV Trails

Construction access roads

Heavy equipment and vehicle storage

Temporary access for construction equipment

The GEOTERRA® heavy-duty HDPE construction mats support thousands of times their weight, yet they are light enough to install without the use of heavy equipment. These ground protection mats preserve a site’s integrity for short or long-term work at ball fields, stadiums, schools, commercial buildings, homes, and construction sites.

Construction vehicle access

Foot traffic for events

The GEORUNNER® Scour Protection Mats are an economical solution for protecting soils from scour in erosive environments. This mat protect soil from erosion and vegetation loss in areas with intermittent or concentrated flows and offers resistance to shear stresses, including channels, shorelines, and culvert outfalls.

The GEORUNNER mats also protect soil from light-to-medium traffic loads from vehicles and other foot traffic. The mats reduce soil compaction and turf damage and can be used for temporary or long-term use.

Composite Ground Protection Mat

Heavy-duty HDPE ground transition mats

Cleated ground access mat for optimal traction

Offered in beige or black

Benefits

Lightweight and portable access mats

Supports up to 80 tons

Doesn’t splinter under pressure

Reusable up to 7 years

Applications

Temporary access for construction projects

Work platforms for heavy equipment

Pedestrian walkways

Events

Beach access

Golf course

Composite ground transition mats are a reliable choice for construction and events. Our durable HDPE ground access mats are made from post-industrial recycled plastic.

Each HDPE mat has a cleated design on one slide and a non-slip surface on the other side. This design offers optimal traction between the mat, the ground and the load.

Composite mats can support up to 200 psi depending on surface conditions.

Reuse your composite ground protection mat again-and-again to get the best return on your investment.

GP-Flex 1800

Plastic grid for reinforcing grass transition

Flexible mat made from HDPE and EVA

Oscillated mesh structure

Benefits

Protects turf and provides stable transition path

High thickness to weight ratio ensures root protection

Fast installation over large surface areas

Applications

Green driveways

Grass protection during events

Pedestrian and vehicle transition on construction sites

Temporary access for golf courses

GP FLEX is a plastic grid for reinforcing grass subject to pedestrian and vehicular traffic both permanently and temporarily. The plastic grid is manufactured through coextrusion of two polymers: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) to give structure to the product and Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) to increase slip resistance of vehicles while improving their traction. The “oscillated” mesh structure provides a product which is extremely flat and flexible, as well as easy to install. GP-Flex is completely inert, both chemically (humic acids and fertilizers) and biologically (microorganisms, bacteria).
