Road Plate Applications

Commonly used during road construction projects, road plates are a temporary solution to mitigate hazardous situations for pedestrians and vehicles. Common applications include:

  • Covering trenches or excavations to create a safe, walkable surface for pedestrian and vehicle access.
  • Minimising disruptions by keeping roads open during construction works.
  • Preventing ground collapse and protecting exposed areas.
  • Providing temporary access across work sites in urban and high-traffic areas.
  • Supporting heavy vehicle load over soft ground or unstable surfaces.
  • Quick to deploy in rapid response repair scenarios where road access is critical.
  • Protecting concrete surfaces from damage while still under construction or repair.
  • Shielding underground utilities and infrastructure from damage during construction works.
