Temporary Access for Ground Investigation

Grassform was contracted to provide temporary access solutions for a six-month-long ground investigation project in Oxford. The project required safe and stable access for drilling rigs and support vehicles across multiple sites, many of which had soft or uneven terrain. With heavy machinery in use, it was critical to implement a trackway solution that could support high loads, prevent ground damage and withstand prolonged use.

Solutions & Implementation 

After assessing the site conditions and project requirements, Grassform HD panels were selected as the preferred solution over aluminium trackway due to its superior durability, load-bearing capacity and to reduce the risk of site security. 

Grassform supplied and installed the panels at multiple investigation sites, ensuring:

  • High Load Capacity – Grassform HD supports extreme weight, making it ideal for drilling rigs and transport vehicles.
  • Non-Conductive & Safer for Utility Works – Unlike aluminium, Grassform HD does not conduct electricity, reducing risks when working near underground services.
  • Superior Grip & Stability – The rugged, non-slip surface provided better traction for vehicles and personnel, even in wet or muddy conditions.
  • Minimal Ground Damage – Unlike aluminium, which can sink into soft ground, Grassform HD distributes weight evenly, reducing ground disturbance.
  • Faster & More Cost-Effective Deployment – Grassform HD panels are quicker to install and remove, reducing downtime and costs.
