What happens here
Begin laying heavy-duty poly mats (also known as ground protection mats, construction mats, or access mats) along the predetermined access route. These mats, typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), are designed to evenly distribute the weight of heavy vehicles, prevent rutting, and protect the underlying turf or soil from damage. As shown in the video, two parallel strips of mats are laid to accommodate the width of the vehicle. Ensure that each mat is either interlocked with adjacent mats or placed closely together to create a continuous, stable, and secure surface. This prevents separation and improves overall stability.
Goal: Create a stable, continuous surface for vehicle access
