Challenge
- High visitor numbers required durable pedestrian walkways.
- Vehicle access was essential for event setup and maintenance.
- Trackway needed to integrate seamlessly into a busy, high-profile location.
- Installation and removal had to be efficient and timely.
Solution
GT Trax supplied and installed:
- Walkovers – These provided a safe, anti-slip pedestrian pathway around the rink, ensuring visitors could move comfortably and securely.
- PowerTrax60 Temporary Trackway – Designed to accommodate heavier loads, this system allowed maintenance and event setup vehicles to navigate the site without compromising the surface beneath.
The installation process was meticulously planned and executed by our expert team, ensuring minimal disruption to the site. Our PowerTrax60 system was particularly beneficial in preventing ground compaction and damage, a crucial factor in high-profile locations like Battersea Power Station.
