Following a busy summer season,
eps Australia said demand has been
outstripping supply for its LD panels, a
lightweight roadway system for short-term
use, so it plans to double its supply in 2012.
LD Panels, made of strand casted
aluminium are used for stable ground and
light loads to provide temporary access
paths, roads, and parking lots.
When used with a special rubber
underlay, they can also be safely laid over
sensitive surfaces, such as cobblestones or
running tracks.
LD Panels are bolted together lengthwise
providing stability on loose surfaces. The
thin design minimises trip hazards, while
the slightly treaded surface prevents
slipping, making LD Panels safe for
pedestrian, wheel chair, bicycle, and forklift
access. The panels are delivered in 25m rolls
and can be installed by hand or by forklift.
eps Australia offers delivery, installation,
and breakdown and can install panels
in one configuration for the duration
of a project or have a team on standby
to reconfigure them as needed. eps also
offers PE foil to guard against water

Temporary ground protection demand strong
seepage or Geotextile for
additional protection of the
subsurface.
eps provided LD20 rollout
aluminium temporary
roadways to protect
surrounding areas at the
2012 Australian Open Tennis
tournament during the
building phases prior to and
after the two-week event.
The company said with
less outdoor concerts
and festivals this summer
combined with a downturn
in ticket sales, event
promoters, production and
site managers have looked
to reduce their costs.
Protecting venues is
a big consideration and
LD20 rollout panels have
become a preferred ground
protection product, eps
Australia said.
