MaxiTrack Access Mats for Air Conditioning Unit Installation on a Restricted Site
A team installing new air conditioning units at a built-up site needed a safe, stable access route for equipment and plant. The working area had tight access, limited space, and several concrete pads along the route, making conventional delivery and positioning difficult. The objective was to create reliable access while protecting surfaces and keeping the installation on programme.
The Challenge: Narrow Access Routes, Limited Space, and Concrete Pads
The access corridor was constrained, leaving little room to manoeuvre. Concrete pads and hard obstacles created pinch points that made it difficult to move equipment safely and precisely into position.
The team needed a solution that stabilised the route, protected sensitive or uneven areas, and could be installed quickly without relying on bulky handling equipment that would be impractical in such a confined space.
Our Solution: MaxiTrack Ground Protection Mats Installed for Safe Equipment Movement
GroundGuards supplied MaxiTrack heavy-duty trackway mats to form a stable access route through the site. MaxiTrack provides a strong working surface while remaining lightweight enough to be carried and laid by hand, making it well suited to restricted-access environments.
Quick, Clean Deployment in a Confined Area
Our installation team deployed the mats efficiently to create a solid surface for moving equipment safely through the narrow route. This helped reduce the risk of slips, sinking, or loss of control when transporting heavy plant.
Stabilised Route and Protected Surfaces
With MaxiTrack in place, the route was stabilised and uneven or sensitive areas were protected. This prevented damage to the ground and supported the plant required to complete the AC installation works.
Results: Smooth Installation With No Disruption
With the MaxiTrack system installed, the job progressed without disruption. Equipment moved through the tight space smoothly, and the ground remained protected throughout. The air conditioning units were installed as planned, and the client noted how quickly and cleanly the access challenge was resolved.
Key Lessons for Restricted-Access Plant Movement and Surface Protection
- Assess access corridors early - pinch points and fixed obstacles often dictate handling methods and matting layout.
- Use strong, manually deployable mats where confined spaces make mechanical placement impractical.
- Stabilise the full route, not just the immediate working area, to reduce risk when moving heavy equipment through tight areas.
- Protect sensitive and uneven surfaces to avoid damage and prevent delays caused by reinstatement.
- Fast installation and clean removal help keep projects on programme in busy, built-up environments.
