Task
Provision of temporary access for heavy-duty equipment and preparation of a worksite for the construction of new overhead power lines in challenging geological conditions on Type 1 and Type 2 marshes.
Solution"TechPolymer" mobile road surfaces – lightweight polymer plates for creating access roads and platforms in marshy terrain.
The mobile road surfaces were installed using a truck crane or excavator. The plates were moved from the truck bed and placed on the ground surface using a crane. Each subsequent plate was laid end-to-end with the previous plate, aligned with the fastening holes.
The plates were connected to each other using connecting pins. Installation was carried out using the «away from oneself» method over the previously laid plate surface.
Machinery weighing more than 40 tonnes operated and was parked on the access road and platform.
Technology Benefits- Low weight of the coverings
- Positive buoyancy — suitable for marshy terrain
- Textured surface — prevents machinery from slipping
- Simple installation and removal
- Reusable
- Installation on uneven surfaces
- High flexural rigidity per unit width
- Specialist machinery can travel without preparing an access route
MDP plates fit into a standard ISO container and can be easily moved using a conventional forklift. In hard-to-reach areas, the plates can be delivered by helicopter.
