Heavy Construction

Challenges Facing Construction Projects

Project Timeline Pressure

Tight schedules with no room for equipment delays or mat failures

Equipment Reliability

Need for dependable ground protection that won't fail mid-project

Site Safety Concerns

Protecting workers and equipment on challenging terrain and soil conditions

Budget Constraints

Pressure to control costs while maintaining safety and performance standards

The GroundUp Solution

Recycled HDPE crane mats specifically designed for heavy construction demands

Proven Reliability

Trusted by major construction companies across the Southeast for excavation, road building, and infrastructure projects. Our mats deliver consistent performance across all weather conditions with zero degradation over time.

Fast Delivery & Flexible Terms

24-48 hour delivery commitment with flexible daily, weekly, or monthly rental terms. We adapt to your project timeline, not the other way around.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

5x longer lifespan than timber mats means fewer replacements, reduced transportation costs, and predictable budgeting at competitive $5/day rental rates.

Construction Applications

Road & Bridge Construction

Create stable access roads and work platforms for heavy equipment. Support crane operations for bridge construction and overpass work. Protect pavement during construction phases.

Excavation Projects

Provide stable footing for excavators, dozers, and other heavy earthmoving equipment. Protect surrounding areas from heavy machinery damage during deep excavation work.

Site Preparation & Development

Create temporary access roads and staging areas during site preparation. Protect existing surfaces and prevent soil compaction during development phases.

Equipment Staging Areas

Create stable staging and storage areas for construction equipment. Protect existing surfaces from heavy machinery during material deliveries and equipment positioning.

Heavy Equipment Operations

Support crane operations, pile driving equipment, and other heavy machinery. Distribute loads effectively to prevent equipment sinking or tipping.

Infrastructure Projects

Support water and sewer line installation, telecommunications infrastructure, and municipal improvement projects. Ideal for urban environments with space constraints.

Customer Success Story

Carolina Infrastructure Project

Project: 6-month highway overpass construction

Location: South Carolina

Mats Used: 80 RAM 3 and RAM 4 units

"Fast delivery, excellent customer service, and mats that actually hold up to heavy equipment abuse. We had three major cranes operating simultaneously, and the GroundUp mats never failed. They've become our go-to supplier for all ground protection needs."

Robert Chen Equipment Manager, Carolina Construction Group

Results Achieved:

Zero equipment downtime from mat failures
Project completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule
35% cost savings vs. timber mat replacement costs
Mats performed in extreme weather conditions

Key Benefits for Construction Projects

Reduced Downtime & Delays

Unlike timber mats that can fail unexpectedly, our recycled HDPE mats deliver consistent performance throughout your project. No mid-project replacements, no equipment delays, no safety incidents from mat failures.

Long-Term Cost Savings

While our rental rates are competitive with timber, the real savings come from longevity. 5x longer lifespan means fewer replacements, reduced transportation costs, and more predictable budgeting year over year.

Consistent Performance & Safety

Unlike timber which varies in quality and degrades over time, every GroundUp mat delivers uniform load distribution and predictable performance. No surprises, no failures, no safety concerns from splintering or rot.

Flexible Rental Terms

We understand construction schedules change. Our flexible rental terms adapt to your project timeline with no penalties for early returns or easy extensions when you need more time.
