Industries We Work In

Safe, reliable access for crews and heavy equipment is required for work sites across many different industries, from transmission and distribution to renewable energy projects. While the need for safe access is the same, each industry and project faces unique challenges that require a specific plan or strategy.

With our years of experience, customers can depend on us to develop a solution that meets any project’s needs and budget. We have a reputation for getting the job done right the first time. We accomplish this through our expert team of innovators, industry-leading manufacturing processes, and strategic locations throughout the country. This results in fast, efficient delivery and installation. Our premium access products ensure adherence to construction schedules, instilling confidence in project timelines for effective planning and cost control.

Our team is adept at delivering exceptional-quality access, rig, crane, timber, and digging mats and bridges efficiently and cost-effectively across various industries, including:

Transmission & Distribution

Our team of experts, equipped with specialized training, is dedicated to helping you navigate challenges along the right of way or on-site. We provide essential access and ground protection solutions for maintenance work, pad and foundation construction, and ensuring stable ground for tower erection.

Pipeline

Linear pipeline projects pass through miles of sensitive ecosystems that require environmental protection. Access mats can minimize the environmental impact by creating a protective barrier over sensitive lands and preventing cross-contamination from equipment and invasive species. We provide “Access Insurance” to ensure uninterrupted pipeline construction in challenging weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or soft ground.

Oil & Gas

Avoid costly weather-related delays and improve on-site efficiencies and safety with access mats that make it easier for crews and heavy equipment to move throughout the job site.

Construction

For downtown construction projects, we specialize in providing strong foundations and pathways for heavy machinery, ensuring safety and efficiency. Our experienced team is ready to address complex site access needs, from load reduction on sensitive surfaces to temporary haul routes through challenging terrain.

Mining

Exploration projects require access to areas considered impassable. With access mats and portable bridges, exploration can continue safely as heavy machinery and crews are able to travel to remote areas on a stable, steady path.

Renewables

Renewable energy companies, such as wind and solar farms, use our access products on-site while constructing and storing turbines. Additionally, our solutions offer stable foundations for heavy lifts, all while minimizing environmental impact.

Forestry

Access mats create efficient temporary roads for faster transport in forestry operations, supporting heavy equipment with minimal environmental impact. Their use eliminates the need for deactivating roads, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity within cutting permits, positively impacting Biological Carbon Sequestration.

Emergency Response

Our team of experts is specially trained to ensure safety and efficiency on power line projects, including maintenance work, pad and foundation construction, and the building of towers.

Our Network

Northern Mat & Bridge (NMB) is proud to be Canada’s largest, fully integrated, turn-key access solutions company. More locations mean more available products with lower transportation costs!
