================== ARTICLE START ==================
Road mats are used where roading needs are only going to be
temporary or where it would be too expensive to develop a
permanent roadway. Road mats are also used in environmentally
sensitive areas where development of a full-scale roadway is
simply not feasible due to regulations and or environmental
concerns. Commonly used road or swamp mats are usually large
square or rectangular shaped. Road mats are designed to be
placed directly onto different types of surfaces that even
include ice, snow, or patches of open water.

Rig mats are a type of road mats. They get the name Rig in
reference to Oil rigs as they are used to provide temporary
roading to Oil rigs. Similarly, Swamp mats are so called because
they provide access over swampy terrain. The costs in using Rig
mats can be many times offset by the profits and advantages of
having Rig mats in place. The obvious advantage is the ability
to increase the Drilling season many Rigs are shut down during
long wet periods or during winter snows because of poor or
difficult access problems. Some not so obvious benefits though
are because road mats are temporary there is a lot less harm
done to the environment. This is a beneficial point to raise
when applying for permits and resource consents, and it can also
help to appease some environmentalists concerns.

You hear many stories in the Oil and Gas industry of very
expensive heavy equipment sinking out of sight into bogs and
swamps. This can be avoided through the use of Rig Mats or Swamp
mats. Canada and Alaska have more oil reserves than the Middle
East however they also have an entirely different terrain and
ecosphere. Whilst the middle East access is often easy and
doesn't require the use of Road mats, Canada and even more so
Alaska have large areas of swamp, bogs and wetlands. There are
also prolonged periods of rain and snow that would prevent
access to oilrigs and mining locations if Road mats were not
utilized.

The Average Rig mat's life is around ten years but some good
quality designs can last up to 15 years or even longer. Most Rig
mats suppliers have specialized equipment to aid in the laying
out of the mats. It is possible for mats to support very heavy
traffic by using wider treads. The ideal road mat should be
available in large widths and should be able to interlock with
other road mats to form a continuous road mat that will keep
together even in storms. Also, the insides should be reflective
so that grass or other plants could grow through it easier.

There are always new developments in technology and changes in
environmental law that are important to take into account when
choosing your Rig mat provider. Some types of Rig mats have a
common problem whereby they are restricted in their ability to
interlock; they do not provide for an even surface when placed
on undulating sub soils; they do not provide for effective
weight transfer between the structures. Besides that, some are
really not designed for ease of installation and removal. This
is caused by difficulties with the unlocking of the road
platform. Another problem some makes of road mats cause is for
wildlife traversing across the mats to be injured due to the
large joint gaps created and required by the mats interlocking
system. Composite mats address these issues by providing a
lightweight, interlocking alternative that is better for the
environment, and easy to install and remove.
