Temporary Access Roads for the Wind Farm in Korytnica – Terrain Stabilization in Marshy Conditions

Building wind farms involves significant logistical challenges, especially in areas with difficult soil conditions. The investment in Korytnica was a perfect example of this – it was necessary to secure access to the construction site in a marshy meadow area and create a stable surface for heavy equipment transporting wind turbine components.

Thanks to the rental of road plates, it was possible to quickly and effectively create temporary access roads and maneuvering platforms, which ensured safe passage for vehicles and minimal environmental impact.

Logistical Challenges in Building the Wind Farm in Korytnica

Building wind infrastructure requires the delivery and assembly of heavy components, such as towers, nacelles, or turbine blades, which reach impressive sizes and weights. The key challenges of this project included:

• Marshy terrain – the need to secure the surface against vehicle sinking and settling.
• Adapting roads for oversized transport – some elements, such as turbine blades, require gentle terrain slopes and wide maneuvering curves.
• Environmental protection – instead of altering the ground and building traditional roads, rental road plates were used, which could be removed after the investment.
• Safety for construction equipment – ensuring a stable surface for wheeled cranes that needed to operate near turbines.

Thanks to appropriately selected road plates, these difficulties were overcome, ensuring the smooth execution of the investment.

Metrum Wooden Road Plates – Protecting Marshy Terrain

The first stage of work was to secure exits from the asphalt road leading to the marshy meadows. For this purpose, Metrum wooden road plates were used, which perform excellently in marshy conditions.

Advantages of Metrum Plates in this Project:

• Natural wood flexibility – allows adaptation to uneven terrain.
• Excellent stabilization on soft ground – minimizes the risk of heavy equipment sinking.
• Quick assembly and disassembly – crucial for dynamically changing construction sites.

Metrum plates allowed for minimizing earthworks, significantly speeding up the start of wind farm component transport.

Alu Deck HD Aluminum Plates – Reinforcing Gentle Slopes

Another challenge was creating gentle slopes that would allow for the safe introduction of vehicles transporting large and heavy components. For this purpose, Alu Deck HD aluminum plates were used, characterized by:

• High resistance to dynamic loads – excellent for heavy transport.
• Lightweight and mobility – easy to install and relocate.
• Non-slip surface – providing better grip in challenging terrain conditions.

Thanks to Alu Deck HD, vehicles could safely enter temporary roads even in adverse weather conditions.

Strong Wooden Road Plates – Stabilizing Main Road Sections

The longest section of the temporary road, leading through terrain with moderate load-bearing capacity, was constructed using Strong plates. Their use allowed for:

• Maintaining a stable surface – essential for regular transport traffic.
• Adapting to changing soil conditions – greater durability than standard wooden plates.
• Flexibility and durability – allowing for multiple uses.

Strong plates performed excellently on straight road sections, where high load-bearing capacity was required.

Steel Plates – Reinforcing the Area Near the Wind Farm

The final stage of the investment involved the use of steel plates near the turbine installation site. These plates enabled the safe operation of a 12-ton axle wheeled crane, responsible for lifting and assembling the wind farm components.

Key Features of Steel Plates in this Project:

• Very high load-bearing capacity – ideal for the heaviest machinery.
• Resistance to intensive use – provides stability even in extreme conditions.
• Ease of laying on the existing surface – allows for quick installation and removal.

Project Outcomes and Key Benefits of Using Road Plates

The use of various types of rental road plates allowed for optimal adaptation of the temporary infrastructure to the terrain conditions. As a result:

• Safe access to the wind farm construction site was ensured.
• Costly construction of permanent access roads was avoided.
• Environmental impact was minimized – the plates can be easily removed after the project.
• Project execution was accelerated – quick installation and removal allowed for timely delivery of all components.

Why Rent Road Plates for Wind Farm Construction?

Transport and installation of wind turbines require stable temporary roads that ensure safety and work efficiency. Renting road plates is a solution that:

• Eliminates the need for permanent road infrastructure.
• Protects the environment and minimizes the project’s footprint.
• Adapts to changing soil conditions.
• Is economical and flexible – ideal for dynamic construction projects.
