The Business Case

What Happens Without Ground Protection?

Ground damage from vehicles and heavy foot traffic isn't just an aesthetic problem — it creates real financial and operational consequences that our mats directly prevent.

✗ Without Protection

  • Deep ruts and ground damage requiring costly remediation
  • Grass and turf destruction — expensive to restore
  • Vehicle bogging and costly site downtime
  • Potential H&S incidents on unstable ground
  • Damage to underground pipes and cables
  • Reputational damage at venues and events
  • Contractual penalties for ground damage

✓ With Notus Ground Protection Mats

  • Ground and grass left undamaged after removal
  • Stable, safe surface for vehicles and pedestrians
  • No vehicle bogging — vehicles keep moving
  • Reduced site liability and improved safety
  • Protects underground services and sensitive ground
  • Venue and landowner relationships protected
  • Lower total project cost — remediation avoided
