Temporary Car Parks Reduce Festival Headaches
Online, June 19, 2013 (Newswire.com) - U.K Weather forecasters are predicting a continuation in wet weather throughout the summer. However, this could provide a headache for festival organisers who fear revellers will fail to turn up for concern over getting cars stuck on the damp ground.
Many grounds made available for concerts and cultural events belong to farmers who need to keep their fields in tip-top protection for future use.
In recent years, events such as the National Eisteddfod in Wales have turned to the use of temporary car parks to alleviate the headache.
Ground protection mats are used as a temporary solution. Many people find themselves needing to divert traffic into a temporary car park. However, they don't want their grass or other surfaces damaged. Ground Access Hire's TrakMats are the perfect solution.
The majority of festivals and agricultural [url: http://www.groundaccesshire.co.uk/outdoor-events.html]events[/url] are held away from towns and cities making it difficult for visitors to use public transport. This is why providing parking whilst protecting land becomes increasingly important.
The mat system by Ground Access Hire provides a secure and level surface to protect the ground underneath from erosion.
The matting also provides a safe environment for workers and visitors ensuring they can park their vehicles with the minimum fuss before safely walking to their destination without fear of slipping or their vehicles being bogged down in wet and muddy conditions.
Motorists worry about leaving their cars on wet grass for fear of getting stuck. Many agricultural shows have seen tractors used to pull out frustrated drivers. However, by laying the mats over grass, water damage and the risk of vehicles wheel spinning will be eliminated.
This preventative measure will save organisers money as there will be minimal damage when the mats are removed and the temporary car park put back to its initial use.
In the past, plywood has been used but the material is not advisable for temporary car parks. Plywood often breaks during first use, splinters, warps, gets soggy and is impossible to handle. In addition, unlike TrakMats, plywood has no connection options. They are therefore not as stable.
The ground protection mats may seem like an additional cost. However, a spokesman for Ground Access Hire said that when the event is packed away and you are left with a damaged field, it is the organisers who could incur the cost of re-sowing the area. TrakMats will stop any damage and you can leave the area as you found it with the minimum of fuss.
