Temporary ground mats are widely used in construction, events, utilities, and oil & gas projects to provide safe, stable, and reusable ground access. These mats prevent vehicles from sinking into soft ground, protect natural landscapes, and ensure heavy equipment can operate without delay.
The most common materials used for temporary ground mats are HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), and LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene). While all three are forms of plastic, their performance differs greatly depending on the application.
| Property / Feature | HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) | PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength & Load Capacity | ★★★★★ High – supports heavy machinery | ★★★ Medium – prone to cracking under heavy load | ★★ Low – limited to light traffic |
| Flexibility | Moderate – resists cracking, good balance | Rigid – less flexible, more brittle | High flexibility but soft |
| Weight | Medium – easy to handle but durable | Heavy compared to strength | Lightweight but not durable |
| Durability | Excellent – resistant to impact, UV, and chemicals | Average – weaker against UV and chemicals | Poor – deforms under pressure |
| Lifespan | 8–10 years with proper use | 3–5 years | 1–3 years |
| Cost-Effectiveness | High – long-term investment | Medium – lower upfront but shorter life | Low – cheap but not reliable |
| Recyclability | Fully recyclable | Partially recyclable | Fully recyclable but less reused |
| Best Use Cases | Heavy equipment, construction, oil & gas, events | Temporary walkways, light-duty ground cover | Small projects, temporary protection |
✅ Superior Strength – HDPE mats withstand the weight of trucks, cranes, and construction machinery without cracking.
✅ Long Lifespan – With proper use, they last up to 10 years, making them a cost-effective solution.
✅ Weather & Chemical Resistance – HDPE resists UV exposure, water absorption, and most chemicals, ensuring performance in extreme conditions.
✅ Balanced Flexibility – Unlike brittle PVC or overly soft LDPE, HDPE offers the perfect balance between strength and flexibility.
✅ Eco-Friendly – HDPE mats are 100% recyclable, making them a sustainable choice.
