Piling mat

A prepared, compacted working platform so piling rigs can mobilise and work safely.

Phase 01 · Site enabling & prep

A piling mat is the working platform a piling rig stands on. It spreads the rig’s load, gives safe access across the working area and is built to the agreed design for the equipment being used.

Civio prepares the formation, places and compacts the mat material and hands over a clear platform for the piling contractor. Once piling is complete we carry on with the reinstatement and the groundworks that follow, such as pile caps and ground beams.

What’s included

  • Review of the platform area, levels and access
  • Clearing and trimming the formation
  • Placing and compacting mat material to the agreed design
  • Access routes for the piling rig
  • Handover of a clear platform to the piling contractor
  • Reinstatement once piling is complete

Common questions

What is a piling mat?

A prepared working platform that supports piling equipment and site access during piling operations.

What do you need to plan a piling mat?

The platform design or rig details, the extent of the working area, existing levels and ground information, and the piling programme.

Can you carry out the groundworks after piling?

Yes. At Park Hill School we provided piling attendance and then built the pile caps and ground beams for the new modular classrooms.
