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.
