PLYWOOD

Single or Multi-Layer: Drivable Plates for Light to Heavy Loads

Plywood is universally applicable and can be used to cover various natural surfaces, such as lawns, plastic floors, and tartan tracks. The easy-to-work wooden panels are ideal for quickly building short paths, roads, and surfaces. The load-bearing capacity of the Plywood depends on the nature of the floor to be covered and the number of layers laid.

HIGHLIGHTS

High transport and cost-efficiency
Allows for onsite flexibility and adaptability
The ease of installation makes Plywood suitable for dry hire

PRODUCT FEATURES FOR PLYWOOD

Plywood is made up of thin layers of wood that are glued and pressed into a single robust panel. It is lightweight, making it easy to transport, and you can install it manually. The nature of the material makes it easy to process and cut to size, allowing for a wide range of bespoke applications.

Product Description

The Plywood panels are 2.4 centimeters (1 inch) high and made of solid layered wood. They measure 2.44 meters (8 feet) in length and 1.22 meters (4 feet) in width, with each panel covering an area of approximately 3 square meters (32 square feet). The panels have smooth surfaces on both the top and bottom.

Versatile Applications

The highly durable and versatile ground protection system is available in the natural color of the wood. We supply these units in stacks of 50 panels, and in addition, to transport, we can also take care of the installation, dismantling, and final cleaning.

Technical Data

Material

Uncoated, glued wooden board (Elliotis pine)

Dimensions (l x w x h)

2.44 × 1.22 × 0.02 m (8 × 4 × 1 ft)
Area: approx. 3 m² (32 ft²)

Weight

Approx. 35 kg (77 lbs) dry
Up to 50 kg (110 lbs) damp

Color

Natural

Accessories

PE foil, geotextile, special ramps (steel)

Transport

12 Pallets à 50 sheets per standard trailer pallet
Approx. 1,800 m² (19,375 ft²)

Optional Extras

We also offer protective underlays to prevent indentation on the covered floor. You can lay out the underlays before installing the panels, helping to keep the bottom of the panels clean.

Best Protection and Optimal Load Distribution

We recommend using tear-resistant geotextile as the underlay for soft floors, which is also suitable for higher loads. For harder soils and low loads, we provide PE foil. In cases of extreme loads, such as when using a crane on sensitive lawn surfaces, the three- to four-layer panels may need additional stabilization with steel panels, wooden planks, or both. Plywood provides the best protection for grounds and ensures optimal load distribution.

EXTENSIONS AT A GLANCE

Optional range of underlays to protect the subsurface and adapt to ground conditions
Supa-Trac and eps Pro are effective solutions for pedestrian access requirements
Box Panels, Arena Panels, and LD Rolls can facilitate heavy-duty, pedestrian-friendly vehicle access

BEST PRACTICE

Plywood is quickly ready for use and withstands even heavy vehicles on soft surfaces due to the very good load distribution

PLYWOOD: DID YOU KNOW?

This solution offers high transport and cost efficiency, with various possible applications for drivable event flooring. This system’s key features are the rapid construction of short transport routes and excellent load distribution on soft grounds.

Easy to Process and Cut to Size

The material makes it easy to process and cut the panels to size, allowing for various applications and precise installation on surfaces. It can fill gaps and be used to lay surfaces precisely. However, it’s important to note that wood is susceptible to weather influences. Panels can become humid and prone to high solar exposure, making them slippery when wet.

On the other hand, it fills gaps and allows surfaces to be precisely laid.

Pay Attention to The Weather Conditions

Due to the non-translucent and non-permeable nature of the floor covering, you should not use these panels in spectator areas. We recommend a maximum of three days of rest on sensitive green areas, depending on weather conditions, as the panels may affect light and air penetration.

Advantages and Benefits

High transport and cost-efficiency
Allows for onsite flexibility and adaptability
Capable of supporting high point loading when installed in multiple layers on a firm subsurface
The ease of installation makes Plywood suitable for dry hire
Suitable for flat ground conditions
As sunlight and air cannot penetrate the wood, the system is optimal for short-term installs

Application Details

The floor protection system can be laid in one or more layers depending on the intended use. For instance, a single layer may suffice for temporary transport paths, such as mixer roads, to supply the necessary lighting and sound equipment material. The ground protection system can also be utilized to create substructures for small stages and grandstands.

Even for High Point Loads

High-point loads can be optimally distributed across multiple layers. For example, the ground cover, which protects the base, offers additional protection at stadium entrances. It also provides ample safeguarding for driving vehicles like forklifts, cranes, and trucks. Plywood is also commonly employed in constructing heavy-duty roads, ramps, and safe transitions via drainage channels.
