MDP Plates in Action: Reliable Temporary Access Roads During the Cleanup of the Miass River

6 June 2025

In Chelyabinsk, during the clearing and environmental rehabilitation of the Miass River, the contractor used mobile road coverings MDП «ТЕХПОЛИМЕР-2» (TU 22.21.30-009-56910145-2016) to construct temporary access roads and work platforms on weak soils.

Technical features of the MDП «ТЕХПОЛИМЕР-2»:

  • Lightweight polymer plates with steel interlocking connections around the perimeter
  • Suitable for use by heavy equipment on weak soils
  • Fast installation/removal (one 6x2 m plate in 5 minutes)

The contractor’s representative noted:

«The plates fully met expectations during operation: they have no structural damage and allow work to be carried out in difficult conditions according to schedule».

Why choose MDП plates for temporary infrastructure?

  • Reusability – the ability to use them at new sites after completion of the work.
  • Soil protection – prevention of rutting.
  • Safety – eliminating emergency situations caused by road contamination when equipment leaves the worksite for public roads. Equipment wheels remain clean without the use of a vehicle wash, preventing the risk of fines.
  • Reduced site preparation time.
  • Lower material logistics costs. A standard Euro truck carries 45 plates with a total area of 540 m2.
  • Preservation of the vegetation and fertile topsoil layer in the work area.

MDП technology is a modern approach to organising temporary access roads and work platforms on soils with low bearing capacity.
