Ground Protection & Access
Explore HERMEQ’s Ground Protection and Access solutions, designed to ensure safety and stability across all terrains. Our Ground Protection range is manufactured to provide a temporary solution to protect and reinforce surfaces. We have ground mats including medium-duty & heavy-duty access mats and bog mats – an essential requirement for Construction, Civil Engineering, Groundwork and Outdoors Events such as Festivals. Our other products manage site access and pedestrian safety. Road plates, vehicle ramps and trench covers are used to allow pedestrians and vehicles to pass over trenches and other holes while construction, maintenance or demolition is being carried out. We have parking bollards, car park arm barriers and access gates to safely manage site access.

Vehicle Access Mats & Track Mats
HERMEQ supplies vehicle access mats, track mats and walkway matting for temporary access and ground protection. The range carries vehicles, plant and pedestrians over soft ground without rutting or churning the surface, with load classes reaching 160 tonnes across the range. Our medium duty and heavy duty access mats are used across construction, civil engineering, groundworks, festivals and outdoor events, where they stop vehicles getting bogged down and save the cost of reinstating damaged grass, verges and heritage ground once the job is finished.

Road Plates
HERMEQ supplies road plates that let pedestrians and vehicles pass over trenches, excavations and other openings while groundworks, utility connections and road maintenance are carried out. The steel range covers plain, chamfered edge, anti-skid and anti-slip road plates, the hi-vis Safe Plate, the Safe Lift plate, long steel trench covers and square hole covers. Composite trench covers and driveway boards complete the range, from footway boards for pedestrians up to a modular plate for heavy goods vehicles.

Timber Mats
Timber mats form long-term temporary access roads and working platforms for heavy machinery on construction sites and on soft or fragile ground. Laid across the route, dense hardwood spreads the load of plant, keeps vehicles moving and limits rutting and lasting damage to the land beneath.The range covers three timbers. Ekki timber bog mats are the heaviest duty and are weather resistant for wet and windy conditions, with high electrical resistance and a long working life. Tropical hardwood bog mats, sourced from West Africa and South America, suit any condition and location. European oak hardwood mats are the cost-effective choice for temporary roadways.

Trench Cover Plates
HERMEQ supplies trench cover plates for footpaths, driveways, roads and site excavations: pedestrian footway boards, driveway boards rated for a vehicle wheel, composite road plates for vehicles up to 44 tonnes and steel plates for heavy plant. Laid over an open trench during groundworks or a utility connection, each cover keeps pedestrians and vehicles moving across the excavation and away from its open edge. For gaps wider than a cover can span, temporary bridges give people on foot a railed crossing.

Vehicle Access Barriers
HERMEQ supplies vehicle access barriers and access management products for car parks, sites, yards and restricted areas, covering manual and automatic raise arm barriers, swing and bi-folding gates, rising bollards and parking posts. Fixed bollards keep vehicles out of restricted areas for the long term. Gates and raise arm barriers control access at parking facilities, checkpoints and the entrances to restricted areas, opening by hand or under power for authorised traffic. The manual models need little maintenance and no power supply.

Trench Bridges & Stairs
HERMEQ trench bridges and stairs give workers and pedestrians a safe way across trenches, ditches, pipelines and uneven ground, for industrial and commercial use on construction sites, utility works, public footpaths and event areas. The trench bridges have anti-slip floors and side rails. The temporary pedestrian bridge is a modular, folding bridge for longer gaps on construction sites, and the railed trench bridge gives pedestrians passage over a trench, canal or ditch. Modular steel, aluminium and spiral stairways complete the route where the ground changes level.
