Heavy Duty Road Mats for Manganese Residue Storage Site in Guangxi

Project Background

In Guangxi, China, a storage site for manganese residue required the development of temporary access roads to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of heavy vehicles and mechanical equipment. The site conditions posed significant logistical challenges — featuring soft, muddy ground with a height difference of 6 meters, making conventional road-building solutions impractical and unsafe for heavy-duty machinery operations.

Project Requirements

The primary requirement was to construct a temporary roadway system that could:

Support the weight and frequent passage of heavy trucks and mechanical equipment

Provide a stable, non-slip surface in wet and muddy conditions

Be quickly installed and repositioned as needed

Withstand extreme impact and abrasive wear

Offer long-term durability with minimal maintenance in a chemically harsh environment due to potential contact with residues

Project Challenges

Several challenges complicated this project:

Soft Muddy Terrain: Traditional access solutions such as gravel or steel plates would sink or shift under the load of heavy vehicles.

6-Meter Height Difference: Uneven ground surface required a flexible, modular solution that could accommodate varying elevations without compromising stability.

Harsh Environment: The presence of chemicals from manganese residue demanded a corrosion-resistant material.

Urgent Installation Timeline: The temporary road system needed to be installed rapidly to ensure uninterrupted site operations and emergency accessibility.

Solution: Duramats Heavy Duty Road Mats

To address these challenges, our engineering team recommended the use of Duramats heavy duty road mats, specifically fabricated from composite UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). For this project, we supplied mats with dimensions of 3000mm × 2500mm × 37mm, optimized for both load-bearing capacity and ease of installation.

Key Features of Duramats Heavy Duty Road Mats

High Wear Resistance: Over five times the wear resistance of ordinary polyethylene, ensuring reliable durability under continuous heavy vehicle traffic.

Exceptional Impact Resistance: Capable of withstanding high-pressure impacts from heavy machinery without cracking or breaking.

Low Friction Coefficient: Minimizes the resistance faced by moving vehicles, improving operational efficiency on-site.

Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and salts — ideal for chemically volatile environments like manganese residue storage.

Waterproof and Moisture-Proof: Maintains performance in wet, muddy, or humid conditions without absorbing water.

Environmentally Friendly & Non-Toxic: Meets global environmental safety standards.

Project Implementation & Performance

The Duramats were modularly connected to form a stable, continuous temporary roadway across the soft muddy terrain. Installation was completed rapidly, and the mats performed exceptionally well in supporting the heavy-duty vehicles and mechanical equipment required for site operations.

Key outcomes included:

Safe and stable access for heavy machinery on a previously inaccessible site.

Significant reduction in vehicle immobilization incidents and road surface degradation.

Lower operational costs due to the mats’ long service life and minimal maintenance requirements.

Enhanced work efficiency through rapid deployment and repositioning flexibility.

Environmental protection compliance, as the mats are non-toxic and reusable.

Conclusion

This project in Guangxi highlights how Duramats heavy duty road mats provide an effective, reliable, and environmentally responsible solution for temporary road construction in challenging industrial environments. Their superior load-bearing, wear-resistant, and impact-resistant properties make them an ideal choice for construction sites, mining operations, oil and gas fields, and emergency response scenarios.
