Providing safe, reliable, and compliant access to beaches is a challenge for councils, resorts, and event organizers. Soft sand creates a natural barrier for individuals with mobility challenges, vehicles, and heavy equipment. JWA’s Beach Access Matting solutions bridge this gap, offering a stable implementation that ensures everyone can enjoy the coastline.
Soft sand, while beautiful, is notoriously difficult to traverse.
Our interlocking and roll-out matting systems are specifically engineered to distribute weight effectively over soft substrates. By creating a firm, consistent surface on top of unstable sand, we provide a pathway that is both functional and environmentally sensitive.
For heavy-duty temporary roadways and platforms over sand, we rely on the Dura-Base Composite Mat System.
Ensure your beachfront is inclusive. Our mats are designed to meet ADA guidelines for firmness and stability, making them ideal for:
Safety is paramount. The unique surface textures of our mats provide superior traction for bare feet, even when wet. This significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls compared to wooden boardwalks or unstable sand.
Preserve your coastline. Our mats sit on top of the sand rather than requiring permanent excavation.
From light pedestrian walkways to heavy-duty vehicle access:
| Material | High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or reinforced polyester |
|---|---|
| Surface | Non-slip aesthetic tread pattern |
| Load Capacity | Ranges from pedestrian-only to heavy vehicle support (up to 60 tons depending on system) |
| Installation | Rapid deployment; often requires no heavy machinery |
| Maintenance | UV stabilized, easy to clean with pressure washers |
| Color Options | High-visibility blue, natural tan, or custom options |
Q: Can these mats stay out year-round? A: Yes, our mats are UV-stabilized and designed to withstand harsh coastal elements, including saltwater and intense sun. However, many clients choose to remove them during storm seasons to prevent displacement.
Q: Are they difficult to install? A: Most of our systems are designed for rapid deployment. Roll-out mats can be installed by two people in minutes, while interlocking panels snap together quickly without special tools.
Q: How do I clean the mats? A: Maintenance is simple. The permeable design allows sand and water to pass through. Regular sweeping or a quick spray with a pressure washer acts to keep them looking new.
Q: Is it suitable for cars and trucks? A: We offer specific heavy-duty variants designed to support vehicular loads. Please consult with our team to ensure you select the correct grade for your intended traffic.
