Whereas CLT panels are meant for structural, TerraLam mats are engineered specifically for site access, with every detail designed to withstand the lateral, bending, and impact forces created by cranes, dozers, and other heavy equipment.
Some mats use boards with additional joints that can introduce points of weakness. TerraLam uses continuous boards end-to-end, reducing seams and helping improve longevity and potentially increasing mat lifespan.
Southern Pine is one of the strongest softwoods available — and the foundation of TerraLam’s strength. Our access-specific adhesives are selected to perform in demanding ground conditions.
With thousands of mats deployed across North America, TerraLam has a track record of delivering reliable site access across industries including utilities, renewables, oil & gas, civil construction, and more.
TerraLam mats are built with continuous, full-length boards that run the entire span of the mat. This eliminates unnecessary seams and joints that can create weak points. The result is a stronger, more resilient mat designed to handle heavy jobsite stresses and deliver longer-lasting performance in the field.
Each TerraLam mat is engineered with adhesives formulated for high-moisture conditions, plus protective seal-coated ends that help reduce water intrusion. Together, these features provide added defense against premature wear in muddy, wet, or freeze-thaw environments. It’s a design built to extend mat life and improve reliability on challenging projects.
TerraLam offers enhancements for projects requiring additional protection or strength. Dowel reinforcement mechanically locks mat layers together, increasing resistance to bending and sheer stress under heavy equipment. Borate equipment penetrates the wood to create an effective barrier against fungal decay, rot, and insects – adding another layer of durability.
TerraLam mats are engineered from the ground up for site access applications. Every design decision prioritizes safe, reliable ground protection and equipment stability. From material selection to structural performance, TerraLam delivers confidence that crews can move forward no matter the conditions.
Quality assurance is built into every TerraLam production run. Mats undergo rigorous ESR-5053 testing to validate strength, performance, and consistency across batches. This process ensures that every mat delivered to the field meets the same high standards, providing customers with proven reliability and peace of mind on every project.
