Get an Access Road Mat QuoteAccess road mats are heavy-duty ground protection platforms designed to create temporary roadways and work surfaces over soft, unstable, or environmentally sensitive terrain. These mats allow heavy trucks, equipment, and machinery to travel safely across areas that would otherwise be impassable — including sandy soils, muddy fields, wetlands, and rough terrain common throughout the Permian Basin.
West Texas Mats supplies access road mats for sale and rent throughout West Texas, including Midland, Odessa, Pecos, Monahans, Kermit, and surrounding oilfield areas. Our access road mats are available in timber, laminated, CLT, and composite configurations to match your specific terrain conditions, load requirements, and project budget.
Whether you need a quarter-mile temporary road to a remote well site or a full-length pipeline right-of-way, our team will help you select the right mat type and quantity. With over 120 mill partnerships nationwide, we have the inventory and logistics capability to supply large-scale access road projects on time and at competitive prices.
Access road mats serve critical roles across oil and gas, construction, utility, and environmental projects where temporary ground protection and vehicle access are required.
Create stable access roads to remote well sites, tank batteries, and production facilities across the sandy and soft soils common in the Permian Basin.
Build temporary roads along pipeline corridors for construction equipment, pipe hauling trucks, and support vehicles throughout the project duration.
Cross sensitive wetlands and protected areas without ground disturbance. Access road mats distribute weight to prevent rutting and soil compaction.
Provide all-weather access to construction sites during wet conditions. Prevent equipment from getting stuck and maintain project timelines regardless of weather.
Create access roads for utility pole trucks, bucket trucks, and heavy equipment needed for power line construction and maintenance projects.
Support oversized and overweight loads on temporary routes where public roads cannot handle the equipment or where direct access is needed to remote locations.
Selecting the correct access road mat depends on several factors including the weight of equipment that will travel the road, soil conditions at your site, the duration of the project, and environmental requirements. West Texas Mats carries timber, laminated, CLT, and composite access road mats to ensure you get the best solution for your specific needs.
For standard oilfield access roads with moderate traffic, traditional timber mats provide excellent value and reliable performance. For projects requiring extended service life or use on extremely soft ground, laminated or CLT mats offer superior durability and load distribution. Composite mats are ideal for environmentally sensitive areas where lightweight, non-absorbent surfaces are required.
Our team evaluates your project requirements and recommends the most cost-effective access road mat solution. We handle everything from mat selection and quantity estimation to delivery and logistics coordination, getting your temporary road installed and your equipment moving as quickly as possible.
The number of mats depends on road length, width requirements, and whether you need single or double-wide coverage. A typical single-lane access road using 8 by 14 foot mats requires approximately 375 mats per mile. Our team can calculate exact quantities based on your site layout.

Yes. Rental is often the most cost-effective option for temporary access roads needed for specific project durations. West Texas Mats offers flexible rental terms with delivery and pickup service throughout the Permian Basin. Rental rates depend on mat type, quantity, and rental duration.
Installation speed depends on road length, terrain conditions, and crew size. A typical crew can install 50 to 100 mats per day using a crane or excavator for placement. For a quarter-mile access road, expect 2 to 4 days for installation depending on conditions. We can coordinate installation services or provide mats for your crew to install.
For the sandy soils common throughout the Permian Basin, standard timber mats or laminated mats typically perform well. The key is selecting mats wide enough to distribute equipment weight across the soft surface. Our team can recommend the optimal mat size and type based on your specific soil conditions and equipment weights.
Properly installed access road mats minimize ground disturbance by distributing equipment weight over a larger surface area. After mat removal, the ground typically shows minimal compaction compared to driving directly on bare soil. For sensitive environmental areas, composite mats provide the best ground protection.
