Protect the Ground. Protect the People. 

   

Whether it is heavy equipment rolling in or open trenches during infrastructure work, ground protection keeps operations moving safely.
Our construction-grade mats, trench covers, and cable protectors are built to handle heavy loads, maintain jobsite safety, and comply with regulatory standards. From temporary roads to pedestrian crossings, SONCO has what you need to protect people and property.

   

   

   

Ground Protection Solutions 

From pre-construction prep to active utility work and final site restoration, our products meet the demands of any jobsite.
Use trench covers to create safe crossings for workers and the public. Lay down ground protection mats to prevent turf damage and keep equipment stable on soft terrain. Cover exposed wires and hoses with cable protectors to reduce trip hazards.
Construction-ready and field-tested, these are the solutions contractors trust!

   

   

Types of Ground Protection Products 

  

Choose from a growing inventory of durable, high-impact protection gear:

  

Trench Covers

Lightweight but tough, these covers are engineered for quick deployment over open trenches or ground excavations. Perfect for pedestrian safety during utility work.

   

Ground Protection Mats

Create temporary roads or work platforms with mats that support everything from light trucks to cranes. Minimize ground disturbance and improve equipment access.

   

Cable Protectors

Keep foot traffic and rolling equipment safe with rugged cable protectors. Shield electrical lines, hoses, and pipes without slowing down the job.

   

   

Types of Ground Protection Products 

   

1. What is ground protection used for in construction?

A: Ground protection equipment is used to prevent damage to terrain, protect underground infrastructure, and maintain access and safety in active job zones. It helps prevent accidents, delays, and costly rework.


2. Can vehicles drive over ground protection mats?

A: Yes, our construction-grade mats are designed to withstand heavy machinery, including trucks, loaders, and cranes. Always check load ratings before use.


3. What are trench covers made of?

A: Traditionally, they are made of metal and require cold patches and heavy lifting machinery for deployment. Our trench covers are made of composite material that is much lighter, durable, reusable, slip-resistant, and designed to meet pedestrian and vehicle safety standards.


4. How do I know what size cable protector I need?

A: Match your protector’s channel size to the diameter of the cables or hoses on site. Keep in mind that when hoses have water running through them, they may expand slightly, so it’s wise to choose a cable protector with channels slightly larger than the hose diameter. Also, consider how many channels you need and the expected load (foot traffic, carts, vehicles, etc.).


5. Are ground protection products reusable?

A: Yes, all of our ground protection products are reusable over multiple projects. With proper handling and storage, they can
maintain their strength and grip for years, making them a cost-effective investment.
