Dura-Base … taking you where you want to go
Dura-Base matting has revolutionised the way companies operate in difficult or dangerous environments. The composite Dura-Base mats allow travel or staging operations in areas where damage to vehicle or equipment may be sustained.
Applications in:
• Fields
• Marsh Land
• Sand
• Ice and Snow
• Wetlands
• All environmentally sensitive areas

The Dura-Base composite mat system is engineered to provide a safe, cost-effective surface for all-weather applications. The mats are proven to be effective in such situations as oil and gas construction work, utility company sites, military operations, and in disaster relief areas. Dura-Base’s rugged construction provides you with a safe, strong roadway … wherever and whenever you need one.
Utility Companies
Dura-Base Composite Mat System is the ideal solution for companies and organisations working in the public utilities market. With an ever-increasing demand for power, fuel, and waste services, safe access to sites is essential to reduce damage to vehicles and plant, and to guarantee round-the-clock all-weather operations.
As well as the construction of new transmission and distribution infrastructure, utility companies must be able to guarantee rapid access for upgrade work, repairing storm damage, and routine maintenance. In addition to providing ease of access across the most difficult terrain, Dura-Base mats will provide a safe and secure working environment for your work-force and equipment. Dura-Base mats can also be used to protect areas such as lawns and pathways, should access be needed in residential or landscaped areas.
Using Dura-Base mats eliminates the need for additional rubber matting on sensitive surfaces. When using traditional aluminium panels, a rubber under-lay is needed to prevent damage to roads and pavements. Dura-base can safely be used, even on surfaces such as marble, with no ill-effects or need for additional protection.
The special construction of Dura-Base matting helps prevent damage to the environment by reducing surface and soil disturbance. Sensitive areas covered by Dura-Base mats, have been found to recover more quickly than when other types of roadway products have been used.
Construction Industry

The Dura-Base Composite Mat System provides a safe, secure and cost-effective alternative to aluminium for the construction industry. The rugged mats provide roadway access to the most difficult of sites, in all weathers. The strong and versatile mats are tough enough to transport heavy-duty plant such as cranes, and also provide a stable working platform protecting your workforce, vehicles, and the environment.
Other applications include:
• Construction of stadiums, hospitals, road networks
• Housing and school construction
• Renovation of historical monuments
• Pile-driving for bridge construction
Whatever your construction needs or location, Dura-Base can provide the solution.
Sports Stadium Cover
With the increasing use of sports stadiums for other events such as concerts, pitch protection is of vital importance. Dura-Base is the ideal solution to provide a temporary surface for sports stadiums. The Dura-Base mats quickly cover the turf, allowing access for vehicles during the construction of staging platforms. Once laid, the mats remain in place for the duration of the event, protecting the pitch from damage by people, equipment and vehicles.
Because of the nature of the Dura-Base construction, sports pitches suffer little damage from being covered. Recovery time is short, allowing the pitches to return quickly to normal use.
Outdoor Events
When planning outdoor events, it is not possible to guarantee favourable weather conditions. With our changeable weather, freak storms and flash floods are regular occurrences. Having safe and effective vehicle access is essential.
Whether your event involves caravans, vintage cars, horse boxes, or any other vehicles, Dura-Base will help provide a solid and versatile roadway, preventing damage to vehicles and ensuring public safety. Because the composite matting is more environmentally friendly, fields and grasslands will suffer less damage, and recover more quickly than with other types of temporary roadway construction.
