At Davis Track Hire, we understand the importance of safe and accessible pedestrian walkways across various locations. As specialists in temporary ground protection solutions, we provide tailored systems that ensure pedestrians can get from A to B safely, even in challenging conditions.
Here’s a look at the main types of pedestrian walkways:
Event and festival walkways: Temporary paths for festivals, outdoor concerts, or sporting events.
Construction walkways: Safe pedestrian routes around or through construction sites.
Emergency or temporary detours: Rerouting pedestrians during roadworks, building repairs, or infrastructure upgrades.
Outdoor event paths in grass or soft ground: These paths prevent damage to lawns, parks, or heritage sites during events.
Accessible walkways: Temporary paths for wheelchairs, strollers, or those with mobility challenges.
Heritage (Grade 1 or 2 listed) and environmentally sensitive areas: Allowing pedestrian access while preserving fragile ecosystems or historical grounds.
Industrial Site Walkways: Pedestrian routes in manufacturing plants, warehouses, or logistics hubs during maintenance or renovations.
The role of pedestrian walkways in event or project safety management
Events & Festivals – Temporary roadway mats may not always be a direct legal requirement, but ensuring the safety of your employees and the public attending the event is mandatory. While protecting the ground, site equipment, and machinery may not be explicitly required by law, doing so significantly enhances overall event safety.
Failing to provide adequate ground protection is very risky. It jeopardizes safety but also exposes you to potential fines, civil lawsuits, and other legal consequences, including possible court cases in certain situations.
Heritage and environmentally sensitive sites – Temporary roadway mats are more than just a convenience to streamline operations; they are a critical necessity for ensuring safety and environmental protection.
These mats provide a stable and secure surface, reducing the risk of accidents for both workers and pedestrians while protecting the ground from damage caused by heavy equipment. By minimizing soil compaction, erosion, and disruption to sensitive terrain, they help preserve the integrity of the site. Additionally, roadway mats play a key role in safeguarding local ecosystems by preventing harm to plant life and wildlife habitats.
