Temporary Roadway Applications
Our temporary roadway systems are specified and deployed across four core sectors. Whether you need vehicle access across a festival site, a construction haul road, a stadium turf protection route or a forward operating base road surface, we have the right system for the job.
Construction Site Access
Provide reliable vehicle access for vans, trucks and articulated lorries across ground that would otherwise be impassable. I-Trac and AmP Panel temporary roadways can be installed, relocated and reused throughout the full project lifecycle, reducing site downtime and protecting the ground beneath.
Events & Festival Roads
Create safe, load-bearing access roads for production vehicles, catering trucks and emergency services across festival sites, outdoor concerts and large-scale events. Temporary roadways protect the ground beneath and can be lifted and relocated within hours of event close.
Stadium & Venue Access
Protect natural turf while providing vehicle access routes for concerts, exhibitions and non-sporting events at stadiums and venues. Our systems distribute load across the panel surface to prevent compaction and surface damage, preserving the pitch for the next fixture.
Military & Defence Roads
Description Rapidly deployable temporary road surfaces for forward operating bases, logistics hubs and tactical operations on unimproved terrain. I-Trac's non-conductive, chemically inert composite construction makes it the preferred choice for sensitive military environments where aluminium systems present a risk.
Oil, Gas & Energy Sites
Provide stable access roads and crane pads on exploration sites, wind farm developments and energy infrastructure projects on soft or unstable ground. Temporary roadway systems can be deployed rapidly in remote locations and recovered for reuse at the next project.
Emergency & Humanitarian Response
Deploy functional road surfaces rapidly in disaster zones and humanitarian operations where existing infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed. Temporary roadways can be airlifted, rapidly installed by small teams and provide critical access for emergency vehicles and relief convoys.

Temporary Roadways — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a temporary roadway system?
A temporary roadway system is a modular, interlocking panel system designed to create a load-bearing road surface on ground that would otherwise be unsuitable for vehicle traffic. Temporary roadways protect the ground beneath, distribute vehicle load across the panel surface, and can be installed, relocated and removed without permanent damage to the site. They are used across construction, events, military and stadium sectors.
What vehicles can temporary roadways support?
This depends on the system specified. I-Trac is rated to Class 85 and supports up to 2,000kg per axle on compliant ground, making it suitable for the full range of road-going vehicles including cars, vans, trucks and articulated lorries. For specific vehicle weights and ground conditions, contact our technical team for a recommendation
How quickly can a temporary roadway be installed?
Installation speed depends on the system and crew size. With I-Trac composite panels, a single operative can lay 30–40m² per hour with no tools required. A four-person team can install and de-rig a 50-metre road in less than a morning. AmP Panel aluminium systems are similarly rapid to deploy. Contact us for site-specific installation estimates.
What ground types are temporary roadways suitable for?
Answer Our temporary roadway systems are suitable for all common ground types including turf, soil, sand, gravel, paving, concrete and snow. The panel systems distribute load to protect soft or vulnerable surfaces beneath, making them particularly useful on grass, waterlogged ground and unimproved terrain.
Should I choose composite or aluminium temporary roadway panels?
Answer Both are effective heavy duty systems, but they suit different applications. Composite panels such as I-Trac are non-conductive, chemically inert and carry no scrap metal value — making them lower theft risk and safer near electrical infrastructure. Aluminium systems such as the AmP Panel are exceptionally strong and well-suited to high-load events applications. Our technical team can advise on the best option for your project.
Can temporary roadways be hired rather than purchased?
Yes. All temporary roadway systems from The Floor Box are available to hire for individual projects and events, as well as to purchase outright for long-term or repeated use. Contact us with your project dates, area required and ground conditions for a hire quotation.
Do you offer worldwide shipping on temporary roadway systems?
Yes. The Box Group ships temporary roadway systems worldwide. For UK Mainland orders, standard shipping rates apply at checkout. For international orders, contact us for a tailored freight quotation.
How do I calculate how many panels I need?
Use the panel calculator on the I-Trac product page to enter your road dimensions and get an instant panel quantity. For other systems or complex layouts, contact our technical team - we can calculate quantities, advise on edge pieces and provide a full bill of materials for your project.
Not sure which system is right for your project?
Our technical team has decades of experience specifying ground protection systems across construction, events, military, and stadium sectors. We'll help you choose the right product, calculate quantities, and arrange delivery worldwide.
