v:tek trackway mat as turf protection for tracked work platforms

If the floor is very soft and you need a secure footing, there are several measures that can be taken. Here are some options:

1. Use stable base:
If possible, a foundation or stable base can be created to stabilize the floor. This can be achieved, for example, by placing steel plates or plastic sheets. This will increase the load-bearing capacity of the floor and ensure a firmer footing.

2.Create a wider footprint:
To better distribute the load and reduce pressure on the soft floor, the footprint can be widened or enlarged. This can be achieved by placing stable load distribution plates, Outrigger Pads or trackway mats. This will reduce the pressure per unit area and provide a more stable footing.

3. Use mobile supports:
If a permanent solution is not required, mobile supports such as heavy duty props, lifting systems, or support beams can be used. These can be used temporarily to improve footing and then removed.

4. Seek professional advice:
If soft ground is a serious problem or if large structures or building projects are involved, it is advisable to seek professional advice. Engineers or construction professionals can analyze the soil, recommend appropriate measures and assist with implementation.

It is important to note that the exact measures will depend on the specific situation, including soil type, load, proposed structure, etc. Therefore, it is advisable to seek expert advice to find a safe and effective solution. We at Securatek will be happy to advise you on this.

What are the advantages of plastic plates compared to steel plates , if they are to be used only temporarily and mobile?

Plastic panels can offer several advantages over steel panels, especially if they are to be used only temporarily and mobile. Here are some of the advantages of plastic plates compared to steel plates:

5.Lightweight:
Plastic panels are lighter than steel panels. This makes them easier to transport, handle and install on site. Since they weigh less, you may also need less labor or machinery to move and place them.

6.Easy to clean and maintain:
Plastic panels are usually easy to clean and maintain. They are smooth, non-porous and can be easily cleaned with water or detergents. In comparison, steel plates may require more elaborate cleaning and maintenance procedures.
