Wooden Road Plates Metrum in the 400 kV Mikułowa – Świebodzice Energy Project
The construction of the 400 kV Mikułowa – Świebodzice power line is one of the most important infrastructure investments in recent years in Lower Silesia. Implemented across 17 municipalities, over a distance of more than 100 kilometers, it required not only precision and experience but above all the use of proven technical solutions in logistics, access, and site organization.
Temporary roads and work platforms were an indispensable part of this project, and their execution was possible thanks to the use of durable and versatile wooden road plates. The main material used during the investment was Metrum road plates, which played a key role in ensuring access to pole installation sites and maneuvering heavy equipment.
Project Characteristics and Terrain Conditions
The 400 kV power line runs through areas with varied morphology – from plains, through marshy grounds, to sections with slopes exceeding several percent. The entire investment included the installation of 281 power poles with heights ranging from 50 to 100 meters. These poles were distributed over a span of 106 kilometers, posing a significant organizational and logistical challenge, especially in terms of ensuring access and a safe base for heavy equipment – including 200–300 ton class cranes.
Logistical Challenges and the Need for Temporary Roads
To enable access to construction sites and ensure efficient transport of infrastructure elements, it was necessary to prepare over 71 kilometers of temporary roads. These roads, made from both supplied and proprietary materials, were essential for conducting work regardless of weather conditions and ground state. The use of professional road plates allowed for avoiding delays, substrate degradation, and the risk of vehicles getting stuck.
Wooden Road Plates Metrum
Throughout the investment, wooden road plates Metrum were used, which proved to be excellent in variable terrain conditions and under heavy loads. These high-quality plates made of glued and impregnated coniferous wood provide not only adequate load-bearing capacity but also quick and easy assembly and disassembly.
Thanks to their construction, Metrum plates are perfect for building:
temporary roads for heavy equipment,
work platforms for structure assembly,
access roads to construction sites in hard-to-reach locations.
Their application in this project allowed for precise maneuvering of large vehicles and ensured work safety even in the most demanding points of the investment.

Effects and Benefits of Using Metrum Road Plates
Choosing wooden road plates Metrum brought a number of tangible benefits to the entire investment process:
Ensuring continuity of construction work – regardless of weather conditions and soil type.
Securing the terrain – reducing the risk of ruts, soil degradation, and landslides.
Possibility of multiple uses of plates – flexibility in moving sections of temporary roads to subsequent construction stages.
Increasing operational safety – safe access to the assembly area even for large-tonnage cranes.
Reducing costs and implementation time – no need for constructing permanent access roads and quick adaptation of the surface to current needs.
In the context of such a large undertaking as the construction of the 400 kV power line, choosing the right temporary solution was crucial. Wooden road plates Metrum fulfilled their function 100%, contributing to the timely and safe execution of the task.
Why Rent Road Plates for Large Investments?
Renting road plates is not only an economical but also a functional solution for projects requiring quick access, variable work sites, and protection of the investment area. Especially in the case of energy, linear, or infrastructure projects, such as the described 400 kV line, road plates are indispensable.
Instead of investing in costly construction of access roads, renting plates allows for flexible response to changing terrain needs and work progress. This is an ecological, effective, and proven solution.
