Temporary roadway mats & ground protection for solar construction
Stable ground for temporary access roads, laydown yards, and construction sites.
Keep your project moving, even when ground conditions are less than ideal. PVpallet's I-Trac™ 2 interlocking ground protection mats create stable, drivable surfaces over mud, sand, and uneven terrain. Designed for temporary roadways, laydown yards, equipment staging, and storage areas, these heavy-duty panels are lightweight, easy to install by hand, and can be reused across multiple projects. Whether you're creating a temporary access road or stabilizing a solar farm laydown yard, I-Trac provides a flexible ground protection solution from delivery through commissioning.
Solar site applications
-
Laydown yard flooring and equipment staging
Create stable staging areas for solar modules, racking, and balance-of-system (BOS) equipment. Interlocking ground protection mats provide a firm surface for organizing materials and moving equipment across muddy or uneven laydown yards. Pair with PVpallet’s BOS Bulk Bins and Solar Panel Pallets.
-
Temporary roadways and construction access mats
Keep trucks, delivery vehicles, and construction equipment moving with temporary roadway mats designed for challenging terrain. Create drivable access routes between site entrances, laydown yards, storage areas, and solar construction blocks without building permanent roads.
-
Temporary access paths for solar block construction
Give crews a more stable route through solar construction blocks and around trailers, site offices, and equipment. Lightweight, interlocking panels can be configured to accommodate changing site layouts and work areas.
-
Temporary storage pads & industrial tent flooring
Create firm surfaces for shipping containers, stored equipment, and industrial storage tents. I-Trac flooring helps keep materials and equipment off soft, wet ground and provides a reusable alternative to permanent flooring installations.

Benefits for solar sites
-
Lightweight, easy-to-install panels
At about 24 lb per panel, I-Trac flooring can be carried and installed by hand.
-
Heavy-duty ground protection
Built to support everything from heavy road vehicles to extreme static loads.
-
Interlocking, configurable design
A continuous surface with no straight seams that flexes at the joints to follow uneven ground.
-
Chemical-resistant material
Inert to most chemicals, with a good level of electrical insulation.
-
Reusable across multiple projects
I-Trac ground protection mats can be removed, relocated, and reused as site needs change.
Real world applications
Ground protection mats for construction, aviation and events
This flooring system has been deployed around the world wherever heavy equipment has to work on ground that can’t support it on its own.
Construction and crane support
Contractors lay I-Trac as heavy-duty access roads on building sites, giving machinery and steady traffic fast, free-flowing access. Panels go down in minutes, can stay in place for the length of a contract, and move easily to the next job. I-Trac is also widely used for crane access, including on wind farm projects, where heavy cranes need stable trackway to reach remote parts of a site. The surface is designed not to flex or ripple under traffic, even when heavy machinery makes quick direction changes.
Military and aviation
I-Trac creates a secure parking and operating surface for aircraft on soft or unstable ground, from extra apron space at small airports to temporary airfields. It’s lighter and simpler to deploy than metal airfield matting, and light enough to be air-portable. Military and relief operations also use it for helipads and as a base for medical centers, mess halls, vehicle workshops, and fuel and machinery storage, with no specialist tools needed.
Stadiums and large events
At stadium concerts, festivals, and exhibitions, I-Trac is laid as a temporary access road for the heavy vehicles that deliver stages and equipment, and for high pedestrian traffic. It goes down in minutes, can stay in place for hours or months, and is then lifted, stored, and reused for the next event.
