GJ Mats: Pioneering Protection on the M25 During Its Historic Closure

This past weekend, the M25 witnessed an unprecedented event in its history – a complete closure to facilitate essential maintenance and upgrade works. At the forefront of this monumental task was GJ Mats, whose contribution not only ensured the success of the operation but also highlighted our vital role in protecting one of the UK’s key transport arteries.

As specialists in providing high-quality ekki bog mats, GJ Mats was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the extensive works undertaken on the M25. Our mats provided a sturdy, reliable surface over the motorway, protecting it from potential damage during the demolition and construction activities. This level of protection is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the motorway’s surface, minimising disruptions, and ensuring the safety of the workers and the public.

The closure of the M25 marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to enhance the UK’s road infrastructure. It allowed for the seamless execution of critical tasks, including the demolition of outdated structures and the installation of new, more efficient ones. GJ Mats is proud to have played a key role in this historic undertaking, demonstrating our commitment to supporting the nation’s infrastructure projects with our top-of-the-line ekki bog mats.

This event not only underscores the importance of thorough planning and execution in infrastructure development but also highlights the indispensable role of GJ Mats in ensuring these processes proceed without a hitch. Our products are designed to withstand the rigours of heavy construction, providing a safe and durable platform for a wide range of projects.

As we look to the future, GJ Mats remains dedicated to innovation and excellence in the field of infrastructure support. We continue to work closely with our partners and clients, providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of the UK’s transportation network. The M25 closure and the successful completion of this weekend’s work are a testament to what can be achieved when industry leaders come together, supported by the best materials and equipment available.

The role of GJ Mats in this historic event is a proud moment for us and a clear indication of our capabilities and reliability as a supplier. We are honoured to contribute to the safety and efficiency of the UK’s road infrastructure projects and look forward to continuing our work in this vital sector.

GJ Mats’ Bogmats Role in the M25 Jct 10 Scheme

Bogmats were crucial for the M25 Bridge Demolition.  This past weekend marked a significant milestone in the M25 Jct 10 improvement scheme, but it wasn’t just about construction. It was about making way for progress with precision, safety, and efficiency. We’re proud to spotlight GJ Mats’ critical role in this endeavour as we supplied the essential Ekki bog mats for the operation.

The Demolition Operation

As the A3 south of the M25 was closed, a crucial operation took place – the demolition of the reinforced concrete Wisley footbridge and the post-tensioned Cockcrow footbridge. Thanks to the meticulous planning and execution by Clarke Demolition and the protective foundation provided by GJ Mats’ ekki bog mats, the project was carried out flawlessly throughout the night. This preparation ensured the road surface was shielded, allowing for the safe and effective demolition of the bridges.

Client Collaboration

The operation was not just a demonstration of demolition expertise but also a testament to the seamless collaboration between GJ Mats and our partners, including Balfour Beatty Atkins, Chevron, Saferoad, Highway Care, and Clarke Demolition. Our ekki bog mats were at the forefront, ensuring the preservation of the road surface during this intricate process, and showcasing our commitment to providing durable and reliable solutions for critical infrastructure projects.

What’s Next?

Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for an unprecedented mid-March weekend closure of the M25 between junctions 10 and 11. This isn’t just another demolition; we’re also preparing to erect the heaviest gantry yet across the M25 – a monumental structure weighing 128 tonnes and spanning 60 meters. GJ Mats is ready to support this next phase with our high-quality ekki bog mats, ensuring the safety and efficiency of this massive undertaking.

We extend our gratitude to our delivery partner, caterers, and everyone involved in making the weekend’s work a resounding success. As we move forward with the M25 Jct 10 scheme, GJ Mats remains committed to excellence, safety, and innovation in supporting the UK’s infrastructure projects.
