An Alphabet of Ground Protection Mats: C

Continuing our interesting look at how the services of Ground Access Hire work their way through the alphabet. We have just reached the letter “C”.

Car Boot Sales – It has arguably been the century of the car boot sale so far. With an increasing interest in antiques, not to mention a global financial crisis - with everyone on the lookout for a great bargain, car boot sales have become one of the top Sunday afternoon hunting grounds. So, the two main ingredients of a car boot sale – cars and people – are the two main reasons why ground protection mats can make such a difference at these events. Very often hosted on fields, the mats can be used to absorb all that weight of both vehicles and trampling feet.

Caravan Parks – Another area ideally suited to the temporary protection that the mats can provide, providing a covering for the ground and stability for caravans and vehicles. When that rain comes and it will come, the mats can help to avoid a mountain of misery.

Construction Industry – Heavy machinery, building sites, British weather – a perfect recipe for a complete and utter mess and mud bath. The ground protection mats can work on areas that are grassed or already paved as well areas that require storage but perhaps more importantly, the temporary roadways and pathways can make the whole experience much nicer. These sorts of mats are very much a staple of the construction industry.
