Grassform HD Duel sided ultra-strength roadway solution
Grassform HD is an engineered heavy duty temporary roadway made of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and reinforced with fibreglass to give the perfect balance of strength and flexibility.
A maximum allowable 205.1 tonne force is calculated to be the limiting factor when the panel is exposed to a single contact according to US regulations with soils of CBR 10.
The maximum calculated inclination at which the panel can be placed at without the risk of slippage is found to be 30° for pedestrians and 32.9° for vehicles.
Compression Testing
The testing was carried out on an Instron universal test machine i4505 fitted with a 100kN load cell (UK1210, calibrated until 16/11/2022 and class 0.5 according to BS EN ISO 7500-1:2018). The specimens were placed between 250mm stainless steel platens, and compressed at a speed of 5mm/min up to 100kN. The derived stiffness can be converted to an equivalent Young’s modulus of 1.53±0.06 GPa. Using these values, a maximum stress of 32 MPa is calculated without observing any failure which is used as the yield limit.
Benefits
- Ultra-strong 43mm thick UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene) designed for maximum lifespan
- Proven to be the strongest 3000mm x 2500mm composite heavy duty roadway mat on the market
- Duel sided mat with a heavy duty surface grip designed for multi-tractional use for inclines and cambers, and a pedestrian friendly surface for walkways and pedestrian flooring
- Withstands extreme conditions and distributes loads up to 205 tonnes (at CBR10)
- Large 7.5m² usable surface area per mat with high slip resistance
- Multi-tractional use for various terrains, including inclines and cambers
- Avoid expensive steel plates and unsafe alternatives
- Improve safety with efficient and stable work conditions
- Easy to transport and connect in any direction
- Prevent costs from property damage, environmental impact, and vehicle recovery
- Chemically inert and 100% recyclable which makes it ideal for eco sensitive and heritage sites
- Suitable for the following industries: construction, transmission, rail, geotechnical, utilities, telecom, heavy haulage and cranes, portable accommodation, events and sports, wind and solar

What Our Customers Say
Firstly, I would like to thank you and your team for assisting at Elvanfoot before Christmas, all went very well! Especially the timing it took you to install/recover noting the fact our normal supplier stated it wasn’t enough time.
Collett & Son
Hope you are well, I have been contacted by the customer at the Bio Gas Plant Attleborough and would like me to pass on his thanks for the guys assistance installing and relaying the extra Trackway on Wednesday morning. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
RJ Crane Hire Ltd
Thank you for supplying the trackway matting at Farlingaye High School earlier this week, the delivery/installation went very well, and I’d like to personally congratulate Daisy and Harrison for a very speedy and efficient installation, the job went really well and all those involved were very impressed.
Portable Space
I did want to mention though that the two colleagues who came to Welford to move and remove the tracking were so brilliant and our team on the ground wanted to pass on their message that it was a pleasure to work with them and thank them for taking such care of the location.
