Heavy Duty Road Mats for Oil Field Project in Muddy Swampland

Project Overview

In the oil-rich region of Songyuan, China, a major oil field project faced significant operational challenges due to the unstable, muddy, and swampland terrain. The harsh ground conditions made it nearly impossible for heavy vehicles and mechanical equipment to access well sites and operation zones safely and efficiently.

Project Site Conditions & Requirements

• Worksite: Active oil field in muddy swampland areas.

• Road Conditions: Waterlogged, soft, and unstable ground prone to sinking and erosion.

• Load Requirements: Support for 60 to 80 tons of heavy trucks, drilling rigs, and equipment carriers.

• Operational Need: Establish durable, safe, and reusable temporary access roads for heavy-duty vehicles and pedestrian traffic in oilfield conditions.

Challenges Faced

The combination of muddy swampland and heavy rainfall created dangerous and unreliable access routes for the project team. Conventional steel plates or gravel roads would sink rapidly under the weight of loaded vehicles, while creating environmental disturbances. The oil field needed a fast, effective, and environmentally friendly solution for temporary road construction and ground protection.

Solution: Duramats Heavy Duty Road Mats & UHMWPE Ground Protection Mats

Shandong Ningjin Xinxing Chemical Co., LTD. recommended the deployment of its high-performance Duramats heavy duty road mats, made of UHMWPE ground protection mats. These durable, modular mats were chosen for their exceptional load-bearing capabilities, chemical resistance, and reliability in soft, swampy terrain.

For this project, mats measuring 3000mm × 2500mm × 37mm were connected seamlessly to create continuous temporary access roads in swampland areas, supporting both heavy vehicles and workers.

Product Highlights

• Heavy Load Capacity: Supports vehicles weighing up to 80 tons, making them ideal for oil field operations.

• Excellent Wear and Impact Resistance: Withstands extreme mechanical stress from heavy trucks and drilling machinery.

• Low Friction, Non-Slip Surface: Reduces slippage risks in wet, muddy environments.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistant: Performs reliably despite oil, mud, and chemical exposure.

• Waterproof and Moisture-Proof: Maintains structural integrity even in constant contact with waterlogged soil.

• Quick Installation and Modular Design: Easy assembly for fast deployment and repositioning in large oilfield projects.

• Eco-Friendly and Reusable: Recyclable UHMWPE material, compliant with environmental protection standards.

Results & Benefits

The deployment of Duramats heavy duty road mats delivered the following outcomes:

• Established durable, reliable temporary access roads for oil field vehicles and workers.

• Reduced vehicle immobilization and operational downtime.

• Minimized environmental damage to swampland terrain.

• Lowered project costs by avoiding recurring maintenance and road repairs.

• Enhanced on-site safety for both personnel and equipment operations.
