Temporary walkway mats are a quick, versatile way to create a safe path across construction sites. But what are the different ways you can use them?
You might be surprised to learn there are actually several options when it comes to laying temporary walkways on construction sites – here are just a few different ways you can do it.
Pedestrian walkways
Pedestrian walkways keep foot traffic separate from vehicles and mobile equipment and can also mark out important routes across construction sites, such as from the gate to the site office.
Because pedestrian walkway mats are easy to move using standard lifting equipment, your pathways can be relaid as and when you need to change the route or clear the area for construction work.
High-grip textured walkway mats
For improved safety, especially in wet or muddy conditions, textured walkway mats offer a high-grip surface which is particularly good for improved pedestrian grip.
Our pedestrian walkway mats actually offer two different sizes of grip, depending on which way up you lay the mat, and this allows you to choose between the standard size suitable for general pedestrian use, or the more rugged reverse side for enhanced grip in extreme conditions and for wheeled machinery and vehicles.
Heavy-duty combined roadways
If you’re concerned about the total weight of pedestrians, equipment, vehicles and heavy plant passing over your combined roadways, Emtek heavy-duty mats are an excellent option.
Their engineered construction means they can support much higher loads, with interlocking clips securing multiple mats together to create a smooth, consistent surface free from trip hazards.
