Renewables

Nationwide ground protection and temporary access for solar farms, wind turbine installation, and battery storage projects.

The UK's transition to net zero is driving unprecedented investment in renewable energy, from vast solar farms in the South West to onshore wind projects across Scotland and battery storage facilities nationwide. GT Trax has been supporting renewables projects for over a decade, providing the ground protection and temporary access infrastructure that gets turbines erected, panels installed, and grid connections built. Our heavy-duty trackway creates stable haul roads and crane pads on even the most challenging terrain, while our ground mats protect agricultural land and natural habitats from compaction and rutting, so your project delivers clean energy without leaving a lasting mark on the landscape.

Why renewables chooses GT Trax

Proven in the sector

We have supported solar farms, onshore wind projects and battery storage installations across the UK for over a decade. Our team understands the specific access and ground protection challenges these sites present.

Long-term hire available

Renewables construction programmes often span months. Our hire agreements are structured for extended deployments with competitive rates that make sense for the full project lifecycle.

Heavy load capacity

Turbine components, transformer deliveries and cable drums place extreme loads on temporary access roads. Our PowerTrax 60 and Euromats are engineered to handle the heaviest renewables logistics.

Environmental compliance

Greenfield renewables sites face strict environmental conditions. Our ground protection systems help you meet planning requirements by preventing soil compaction, protecting root systems and preserving natural drainage.

Solar Farm Installation & Access

Large-scale solar installations demand temporary access roads that protect agricultural land and natural habitats. GT Trax provides heavy-duty trackway and ground protection mats that support panel delivery vehicles, piling rigs, and installation crews, keeping your project moving without leaving lasting ground damage.

Wind Turbine Construction & Maintenance

Wind farm sites are often in exposed, remote locations with challenging terrain. Our robust access solutions provide stable crane pads, haul roads, and crew walkways for turbine erection and ongoing maintenance, ensuring safe operations in all weather conditions.

Battery Storage & Grid Infrastructure

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) and grid connection projects require reliable site access for heavy electrical equipment and transformer deliveries. GT Trax supplies ground protection systems that prevent soil compaction and create stable working platforms on greenfield and brownfield sites alike.
