How does DURA-BASETM enhance safety at your construction site?

A clean site is a safe site- that's where DURA-BASETM can give you the advantage over other platform or ground cover options. The 4.25 inch thick mats keep personnel and equipment out of the mud, while stabilizing lift cranes, scaffolding or any other loads. Your vehicles will gain safe, swift access over soft or unstable soils to key locations within the construction site. Built-in safety features like the locking pin, non-skid tread pattern and uniform surface enhance DURA-BASETM 's ability to provide a superior road or work pad.

DURA-BASETM, has no nails, won't crack or degrade and provides a non-skid surface that meets friction co-efficient standards. When your work site is clean and safe, you won't need to worry about excess costs due to damage or injury.

How does DURA-BASETM address concerns about mud or debris on public roads?

When vehicles leave a muddy site to enter public roads or highways, there is always a risk of excess debris tracking onto the pavement. Kickback spray from equipment can also create a driving or visibility hazard for motorists. Eliminate the risks and liability while creating a safe work environment with DURA-BASETM Composite Mat System. DURA-BASETM covers mud and soft soils to create a clean, trafficable roadway for vehicles and equipment, while enhancing the safety of public throughways.

If contamination of soils or confinement of waste streams is of concern, DURA-BASETM can help. Made from a proprietary blend of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), DURA-BASETM can be cleaned and decontaminated after use and readied for the next challenge.

How can DURA-BASETM meet the challenge of extended use?

One of the advantages that DURA-BASETM has over conventional temporary roads and pads is long life. DURA-BASETM has proven effective in numerous field tests and will perform flawlessly under rigorous usage throughout your project and remains ready for the next challenge. Further, DURA-BASETM can be stored indefinitely - without rusting, rotting or degrading over time. If the duration of your operation presents a significant challenge to the life and durability of any pad or roadway, make DURA-BASETM a key part of your long term planning and projects.

Can DURA-BASETM work in my environment or work-season?

DURA-BASETM Composite Mat System has been proven effective in all forms of soft ground or unstable soils. From the Arctic Tundra or Canadian Muskeg, to the swamps and marshes of the Gulf Coast and even to the rain forests of South America, DURA-BASETM keeps operators on safe and stable ground. The composite make-up of DURA-BASETM allows you to work year-round in all types of weather conditions- extending working seasons and increasing productivity in every conceivable environment. The stackable mats can be optimally configured to keep your equipment mobile in mud, frost or water. If it's harsh sun or intense solar heat you're working in, DURA-BASETM maintains a low surface temperature and resists Ultra Violet Radiation through a special additive to its HDPE formula. Keeping your work site relatively cool and non-glaring is one key to safe operations.

What are some benefits to the local community when I use DURA-BASETM?

In many industries operating as a local citizen, image is crucial. Construction companies operate under the public eye and desire to maintain an image of high-quality service to its customers and concern for its fellow-citizens.

How can DURA-BASETM assist your retrofit construction project?

Buried utilities, conduits and landscaping often make access to a construction site tedious or nearly impossible. With DURA-BASETM, even heavy-duty equipment can gain access to and operate from a stable pad installed over inadequate sub-grades or vulnerable buried utilities. DURA-BASETM absorbs and transfers the weight of vehicles and equipment while protecting the ground, road surface, walkway or conduits beneath it. You will enhance your total productivity by eliminating the need to install a gravel road or work pad, which would have to be removed after the project.

How does DURA-BASETM enhance safety at your retrofit construction site?
