Design Features

• 1. The design incorporates a large number of holes penetrating the panels linking the top and bottom surfaces.
• 2. These holes are orientated in such a way as to create a grid pattern on the surface to deliver a substantial structural load bearing ability as well as allowing the vehicle tyre to engage the panels surface.
• 3. The holes allow rainfall to soak through them over the majority of the surface. As rainfall exceeds absorption and begins to flow on the surface, the hole's in the panels function as multiple silt and water traps limiting erosion. The holes also trap the sand or soil material together creating significant structural strength as well as encouraging plant root growth in and around the panel further stabilising the system.
• 4. The panel surface has grip lugs incorporated for better traction and to trap and retain some level of soil material on the track surface. This significant feature allows for the panels to be camouflaged by the natural ground material.
• 5. The slots in the linking plates allow for the creation of curve radius's. Up to 15 degrees change in angle is possible in the horizontal plain at each panels connection point. These two features allow for a high degree of flexibility in road alignment.
• 6. Two different specifications are on offer. Extreme heavy duty applications and standard applications. Consult Gough Plastics for recommendation on the appropriate specification level for the application.

Manufacture

The panels are manufactured from a blend of virgin and recycled, tough UV stabilised non-corroding polyethylene by the rotomoulding process.

Panels, connector plates and locking pins are all plastic insuring a corrosion free system

The panels are hollow moulded structured modules produced using the rotomoulding process

Recyclability

TrackPad presents a long term sustainable option to timber pelleting and other alternative products, that can be totally recovered and recycled at the end of it's useful life.

Ground Stabilisation

This innovative product promotes root growth and minimises erosion whilst creating an interlinked matrix of panels able to support everything from small vehicles to heavily laden trucks and buses.

Assembly and Installation

TrackPad can be partially pre-assembled in factory for rapid on-site installation. Once positioned it is virtually out of sight and immediately operational. It is designed around current WPH&S manual handling requirements allowing for significant reduction in machinery costs.
