Pontoise (25 km from Paris) for the north and Northern Europe. Port-la-Nouvelle (Aude) for the south and Southern Europe. Faster delivery and up to €3,000 saved per truck compared to a foreign supplier.
Sectors of use
Demanding job sites, a proven solution
Heavy azobé timber matting, also known as crane mats depending on the trade, is used wherever the ground has to bear extraordinary loads.
Onshore wind
Component storage before assembly, installation frame raising, assembly platforms, temporary access for abnormal load convoys, protection of agricultural soil during construction and decommissioning.
Pipelines & gas lines
Temporary access along linear routes on natural or agricultural terrain. Work on pipelines, water and energy networks, oil and gas lines, suited to wetland constraints.
Heavy lift
Temporary travel platforms for crawler cranes. The primary use of heavy azobé matting (crane mats). Loads from 200 to 800+ tonnes.
Decommissioning / demolition
Decommissioning of wind turbines, heavy industry, port, nuclear or oil facilities, and demolition of engineering structures. Matting protects the surrounding ground throughout the operation.
Marine works
Stabilisation on coastal and shoreline soils, temporary access in port industrial areas, barge protection.
Army & Defence
Deployments on unprepared terrain, temporary access for heavy vehicles and armoured units, logistics platforms in extreme conditions. Reliability and responsiveness matched to military operational requirements.
Industrial events
Stages, temporary structures and heavy equipment on sensitive ground: festivals, trade shows, events. Securing or ballasting light equipment.
Civil engineering & construction
Any operation requiring a temporary load-bearing surface: dismantling, mobile concrete plant installation, tower cranes and heavy load storage.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A timber mat is a set of wooden beams, drilled on the side and assembled together with large threaded rods. Once assembled, the whole forms an extremely rigid block, capable of bearing several hundred tonnes depending on thickness.
