Renewable energy access.
Planned around the project.
Temporary roadways, compounds and working areas, planned around your ground conditions and programme. Layout drawings, project-specific RAMS and installation managed in-house by TrackMatz.
From the first access brief to delivery, installation and uplift.
Plan for the work in front of you
Different energy projects.
One coordinated access plan.
Solar, wind and battery storage projects have different delivery patterns and working areas. We bring the route, ground, matting and installation requirements into one practical brief.
Site application
Entrances & delivery routes
Bring the gate, route width, turning movements and offload point into the same plan. Identify changes in ground support along the route.
Explore temporary roadway
Site application
Compounds & working areas
Plan laydown, welfare and vehicle movements around the loads, available space and pedestrian interfaces. Agree how the area will be used.
Explore ground protection
Site application
Phased & repeat access
Allow for repeated deliveries, changing work fronts and seasonal conditions. Include the route needed for maintenance and eventual collection.
Plan delivery and installationAccess route and compound examples.
UTILITY ROUTES AND GRID WORK
Plan the route to the grid connection.
Renewable energy projects can also need access for grid connection work, service vehicles and maintenance. These routes may cross different ground and carry a different traffic pattern from the main construction area.
For TM200 MegaDeck HD+, we review the complete route, working areas, ground evidence and vehicle movements, then coordinate the mat layout, delivery sequence and recovery plan.
Review TM200 MegaDeck HD+ for assessed access →CBR & ground conditions
Understand the ground.
Then plan the access.
A firm-looking surface does not tell the whole story. The support beneath the mats, how it changes when wet, and the traffic crossing it all matter.
WHAT CBR TELLS US
Resistance under the test conditions.
California Bearing Ratio compares a material’s resistance to penetration with a standard reference. It is useful ground evidence, not a vehicle weight limit. 5% CBR does not mean 5 tonnes.
Saturation, drainage and weather exposure across the full hire period.
Vehicle or plant footprint, repeated movements, turning and braking.
Slopes, crossfall, edges and the preparation needed for continuous support.
Photographs and postcode context can support a first conversation. They do not replace measured ground evidence where it is needed. Mats must not bridge trenches, voids or unsupported ground.
Drawings · RAMS · In-house coordination
From the layout drawing.
To the last panel lifted.
TrackMatz brings planning, documentation, delivery and installation together. Agree the scope, responsibilities and programme with one team before the movement starts.
DEFINE THE LAYOUT
Project layout drawings
Where required, we prepare drawings showing the proposed mat route, working areas, entrances and relevant interfaces. The layout is developed from the site information and agreed brief.
DOCUMENT THE WORK
Project-specific RAMS
Risk assessments and method statements for our agreed delivery and installation scope, coordinated with your site requirements, induction and working arrangements.
COORDINATE THE INSTALL
Installation managed in-house
Our team coordinates the crew, plant requirements and installation sequence. Agree unloading, lifting, access and site responsibilities before mobilisation.
PLAN THE RECOVERY
Delivery, uplift & collection
Plan vehicle access, offloading and delivery slots alongside the work. Include the route, equipment and site access needed to remove and collect the mats at off-hire.
Make the responsibilities clear.
The agreed scope identifies who provides ground preparation, unloading, lifting plant, installation and site controls. Drawings and RAMS support that scope; any required engineering design is identified separately.
Read the delivery & installation guideProduct class guidance
Start with the demand.
Choose the right class.
The access road, compound and walkway may need different matting. We review ground, loading, traffic, layout and duration before confirming the proposed classes.
TM120
HEAVY DUTY
Assessed heavy vehicle access
Routes, compounds and plant movements where the ground, loading, traffic and layout support this class.
Review TM120TM200
EXTRA HEAVY DUTY · MEGADECK HD+
Higher-demand access
More demanding access and working areas, with the ground support and any concentrated loads reviewed for the project.
Review TM200TM50
MEDIUM DUTY
Lighter routes & compounds
Assessed lighter vehicle routes, parking and working areas where the ground and movement pattern suit the class.
Review TM50TM10
LIGHT DUTY
Pedestrian-first routes
Walkways, welfare access and pedestrian interfaces planned separately from the site’s heavy vehicle movements.
Review TM10Product guidance is a starting point. The project conditions and agreed configuration determine suitability.

Renewable energy access questions
Useful answers.
Before the first delivery.
Can you prepare layout drawings and project-specific RAMS?
Yes. Where required by the agreed scope, TrackMatz prepares layout drawings from the site brief and RAMS for our delivery and installation work. Share your site plan, access restrictions and documentation requirements at the start.
Can TrackMatz manage the installation?
Yes. Installation can be managed in-house, with crew, plant requirements, delivery sequence and site coordination brought into the agreed plan. Confirm who provides unloading, lifting equipment and ground preparation before mobilisation.
What if we do not have a CBR result?
Send the ground photographs and information you do have. We can identify the next assessment step and whether testing is needed. A postcode or photograph is not a measured CBR result. Read the CBR guide →
Can the same mat class serve the entire site?
Not always. Haul routes, compounds, laydown areas and pedestrian access can have different ground, load and traffic demands. A mixed-class layout may be more appropriate.
Does the matting cover crane pads or heavy equipment foundations?
Temporary access matting does not automatically provide a crane platform, outrigger solution or equipment foundation. Tell us about concentrated loads and specialist plant so the appropriate assessment or engineering requirement can be identified.
Can the layout change as the project develops?
Share the expected phases at the start and flag changes before moving or extending the route. Ground, loading and access may need to be reviewed again. Include the planned uplift and collection route in the programme.
NEXT STEP
