FODS manufactures reusable trackout control mats designed for use as reusable construction entrances. The system is designed to minimize sediment and debris tracked onto roadways, offering an alternative to traditional aggregate entrances while supporting stormwater compliance efforts on active job sites. FODS mats are made in the USA and can be configured to fit a range of site layouts and access points.
Key Benefits - Code-compliant: Meets stabilized construction entrance requirements in state and local erosion & sediment control manuals. - Reusable: Mats move from project to project, no stone to haul, replenish, or dispose of. - Fast install: Two workers, no heavy equipment, ready in minutes. - Keeps county roads clean: Reduces trackout, sweeping costs, and neighborhood complaints. - Made in the USA: Domestically manufactured from recyclable HDPE.
Each mat measures 12 feet wide by 7 feet long and is manufactured from durable HDPE for repeated use under construction traffic. The surface features a series of raised pyramids that interact with tire tread as vehicles pass over, helping to release sediment before it leaves the site. The mats are engineered to withstand heavy loads, with a crush rating of up to approximately 2.8 million pounds, and each pyramid can support 20,000 pounds, allowing the system to perform under a wide range of construction equipment and traffic conditions.
FODS mats have been third-party tested and shown to reduce trackout by up to 59 percent compared to traditional stone entrances. Displaced material remains within the system and can be managed through routine maintenance practices such as sweeping or pressure washing. Unlike stone entrances, FODS mats are designed for long-term use, with a lifespan of 10+ years, and can be relocated and reused across multiple projects. This allows contractors and project teams to maintain a consistent approach to trackout control without the ongoing material replacement and maintenance typically associated with aggregate-based entrances.
