Overview
When planned shutdown works meant a car park would be out of action, the site team urgently needed a temporary replacement. Initial proposals involved using Terram and stone to create a hard surface, but this option proved too time-consuming and expensive. JAK Hire stepped in with a faster, more efficient solution – a 208-panel TuffTrack® installation that was delivered and installed within a single day.
The Challenge
The original solution for the temporary car park involved heavy materials and extended groundwork. Not only would this require significant time to lay and remove, but it would also increase costs and disruption on site. With the shutdown deadline fast approaching, the client needed a reliable surface that could be delivered and installed immediately, with minimal ground preparation.
The Outcome
The Solution
JAK Hire proposed TuffTrack® ground protection panels as a quicker, more cost-effective alternative. Once the order was confirmed on a Friday, we mobilised quickly:
- Monday AM: 208 TuffTrack® panels were delivered and installed in full within one working day.
- End of Hire Period: The same panels were removed and collected in a single day, restoring the site to its original condition.
TuffTrack® provided a stable and durable surface capable of handling vehicle movements without the need for permanent groundwork, and without compromising safety or usability.
