Composite Mats Provide Safe Site Access for Utility Repairs with Minimal Disruption to Residents
Utility line improvements often require installation of temporary site access roads through residential areas, which can mean road closures and homeowner headaches.
This Midwest utility site involved upgrading distribution poles, at a substation tie-in, for higher resiliency. Mustang coordinated an access plan to minimize impact on the community, during install of ½ mile of composite matting.
Composite mats are particularly suited for this kind of work versus traditional wood mats:
– lighter, easier, and safer to maneuver
– require less trucks to transport, so less construction traffic at the site
– mats interlock for increased safety and stability
– don’t break or rot like wood mats, minimizing site remediation and disposal costs
