Before and after
Are you curious to know what Ferex road plates do to the ground? Take a look at the before and after photos and see what the site looks like after use.
How do we leave it behind?
Substrate
Load distribution is all about the extent to which the ground is affected by heavy loads.
We lay composite road panels directly onto the subgrade without any prior preparation or reinforcement. But what effect does that actually have on the sub-base? And more importantly, what condition will the site be in once our work is complete?

Savings
Composite road panels have now more than proven their worth in terms of saving time, reducing costs and protecting the environment. This is evident not only from the wide range of recent projects, but also from independent research, which shows that the potential savings are considerable!
The result?
When we remove a temporary road – used for heavy goods traffic or as a staging area for cranes – after a week, the ground remains virtually intact. We can therefore conclude that Ferex composite road panels cause minimal damage to the ground.
Take a look at the result here and judge for yourself.
