When disaster strikes, the ability to reach ground zero is essential. Hurricanes, tornados, and other severe weather are becoming more common and more dangerous, severely affecting the infrastructure required to get supplies on site and to house displaced communities. Sterling Site Access Solutions provides the products for setting up staging areas, accessing difficult to reach locations, and providing stable foundations for temporary housing.
Roads are the most essential part of quickly getting supplies to the recovery effort. TerraLam mats are lightweight and durable enough for the toughest tasks, helping emergency vehicles and freight trucks reach their destination easily while helping protect the ground. TerraLams are available in a variety of specifications to meet different load capacities and ground conditions.
Existing bridges and other crossings may become damaged and impassable. TerraCross bridges are a temporary solution that can be quickly deployed to handle spans up to 50 feet and loads up to 100 tons. This helps get equipment and supplies where they need to go without resorting to large construction undertakings. Some models are available to be delivered by a single truck.
In areas without existing infrastructure, setting up a staging area that is safe and stable is paramount to getting equipment in and out quickly. TerraLam mats are the perfect platform for this as they can be quickly delivered and set up to provide a strong foundation for all your staging needs, building a strong and durable platform that allows equipment to be efficiently and safely accessed and moved.
When existing structures aren’t available, tenting is a common practice to quickly provide shelter to those in need. Unlike plywood or plastic mat bases, TerraLam mats can provide a strong foundation to set up temporary structures, where equipment or structures can be fastened down, and the surface is durable enough easy to safely move around on without shifting or bending.
Many of Sterling’s products are readily available for disaster relief operations. Some items, like bridges, may have additional lead times. Contact us today to see how our quality solutions can help you restore and rebuild with confidence. 708.388.2223.
