Bog mats

What are Bog Mats?

Bog mats, also known as navvy mats or dragline mats, are heavy-duty timber mats designed to provide temporary ground protection and load distribution in challenging environments. Used in construction, civil engineering, and energy projects, bog mats ensure stability for machinery, vehicles, and workers on soft, uneven, or environmentally sensitive terrain.

Benefits of Bog Mats

• Ground Protection – Prevents soil damage and rutting in wetlands, marshlands, and soft ground conditions.
• Heavy Load Distribution – Supports cranes, diggers, and other heavy machinery, reducing the risk of sinking or instability.
• Durability & Strength – Made from high-density hardwoods, our bog mats withstand extreme conditions and repeated use.
• Easy Installation & Removal – Can be quickly laid and removed, making them a cost-effective temporary ground protection solution.
• Eco-Friendly Solution – Sustainably sourced timber ensures minimal environmental impact.

Types of Timber Used in Bog Mats

We supply high-strength hardwood bog mats in a range of thicknesses and sizes, usually 5x1m, using the following premium timbers:

1. Ekki (D70) – The most durable option, highly resistant to water and decay, ideal for marine, civil engineering, and energy projects.
2. Greenheart (D70) – Exceptional strength and longevity, often used for harsh environments and long-term applications.
3. Oak (D30 & D40) – A strong and sustainable choice for general construction and temporary access solutions.

Applications of Bog Mats

• Temporary roadways for construction sites
• Crane platforms for heavy lifting operations
