How Trak Mats Can Aid Developers

Online, July 17, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The building industry is booming despite an economic downturn with many towns and cities across the UK continuing to spend on construction.

Economists argue that the country's growth can be assessed by the rate of construction. Supermarkets, housing developments and retail parks continue to be built keeping people in jobs.

The construction industry has improved so much that a recent report found that architects have more job opportunities in the UK than at any time since 2008.

However, although trade is booming, with success comes mess. Heavy machinery needed to build these infrastructures have the potential to damage structures already in place. Construction insiders believe ground protection mats are a must have product. The protection aids provide a safe and secure pathway for construction vehicles.

The panels are temporary and easy to use and made from lightweight material. They can be put together with the minimum of fuss.

The TrakMats are often used for safeguarding block work, tarmac or grassed areas from heavy loads and machinery whilst enabling an easy site route for vehicles and plant hire.

The use of these mats will save money as there will be no damage to carry out from heavy tools and machinery.

For the third year running Ground Access Hire has recently loaned ground protection mats for the KAYA Festival in Bangor.

The event is an assortment of African, Jamaican and Caribbean Music with assorted workshops.

The multi-cultural event is supported by Gwynedd County Council, The Arts Council of Wales and The Welsh Assembly Government.

The north Wales based company also hired equipment from a company called Formation Management in Essex that needed to protect paving blocks for a contract they had in London.

Ground Access Hire's boards are lightweight (33kg) and easy to handle. They are durable and constructed from HD Polyethylene which is one of the toughest materials available.

The boards connect easily and joined together using Urethane connectors and bolts. An Impact Driver and a 14mm socket are all the equipment that is required to tighten the bolts.
