Power line installation and substation construction happen everywhere—from remote fields and farms to suburban streets and dense urban areas. Utility crews need a site access matting solution that works in any environment, ensuring safe and stable ground for heavy equipment like bucket trucks, digger derricks, and cranes. Whether setting poles in soft farmland soil, navigating tight residential areas, or working on paved city streets, TerraLam mats deliver reliable support anywhere the job takes you. Their durable, engineered surface evenly distributes weight, preventing equipment from sinking or shifting, reducing ground disturbance, and keeping projects on schedule.

General Construction
Construction sites often require heavy equipment like cranes, concrete trucks, and loaders to operate in areas where existing roads, infrastructure, or soft ground could be at risk of damage. TerraLam mats provide a solid, non-gapping surface that not only supports heavy loads but also protects underlying roads, pavement, and sensitive ground from excessive wear and structural damage. By distributing weight evenly, these mats help prevent ruts, road buckling, and costly repairs while ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Electrical Utility Work
Pipeline Work
Pipeline construction requires precise alignment to ensure each section connects seamlessly over long distances. Welding, trenching, and pipe laying demand a stable, even surface to prevent misalignment, which can create weak points, additional strain, and costly rework. TerraLam mats provide a consistent, level foundation that supports pipe cradles and skids, ensuring each segment is properly positioned for secure welding. Without a stable platform, uneven terrain can cause pipes to shift, making final connections difficult and increasing the risk of structural weaknesses.
Renewables
Wind farms are often built on farmland, where protecting the soil is just as important as installing the turbines themselves. These projects require massive cranes to lift and position heavy tower sections, blades, and nacelles, all of which demand a stable surface to prevent shifting or sinking. Without proper ground support, the weight of this equipment can cause soil compaction and lasting damage to the land. TerraLam mats provide a reliable foundation that evenly distributes weight, allowing work to be completed safely and efficiently while preserving the farmland beneath.
Civil Engineering
Infrastructure projects like bridge construction, highway expansions, and utility work often require access to areas where existing roads and traffic flow could be disrupted as a result of construction. TerraLam mats create stable temporary work platforms and access roads alongside infrastructure – on adjacent fields or other open areas – allowing crews to complete projects efficiently without damaging roads or causing major traffic delays. These engineered mats provide a reliable foundation for heavy-duty equipment like piling rigs, cranes, and material haulers, ensuring safe and efficient operations even in challenging ground conditions.
Disaster Recovery
In the aftermath of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and other natural disasters, existing infrastructure is often damaged or completely unusable. Emergency response teams need reliable access not only to move equipment and personnel but also to establish temporary staging areas for relief operations. TerraLam mats enable rapid deployment of stable, elevated work zones in open fields or devastated areas, allowing crews to set up command centers, equipment storage, and aid distribution points without relying on compromised roads or infrastructure.
