At construction sites such as civil infrastructure projects, municipal emergency repair works and field construction yards, muddy, soft and uneven soil roads are a common problem. Heavy-duty vehicles including muck trucks, excavators and cranes are prone to skidding, getting stuck and severe tire wear. Boasting outstanding material properties and practical performance tailored to construction site operating conditions, high-density polyethylene road mats have gradually become the mainstream material for building temporary site roads. They effectively resolve traffic difficulties caused by poor site road conditions and lay a solid foundation for stable passage of all types of engineering vehicles.

Traditional temporary site roads are mostly paved with steel plates or crushed stone. Steel plates are heavy, requiring large machinery for hoisting, transportation, assembly and disassembly, which leads to time-consuming and labor-intensive construction. In addition, steel plates tend to slip on rainy days and rust after long-term use. Crushed stone roads have poor flatness, causing severe bumpiness during vehicle travel. Mud mixed with crushed stone in rainy weather results in secondary road damage, bringing extremely high post-use cleaning costs.

In contrast, high-density polyethylene road mats combine lightweight features with high load-bearing capacity. The lightweight panels can be spliced, laid, disassembled and transported by construction workers without heavy machinery, greatly shortening the construction period of temporary roads. Meanwhile, the material features strong toughness, excellent impact resistance and rolling resistance. It can withstand repeated rolling by hundred-ton engineering vehicles without cracking or deformation. Built-in anti-slip textures on the surface prevent vehicle skidding even on rainy days.
