FODS Reusable Construction Entrance overcomes the limitations and challenges of traditional stabilized construction entrances. When specifying or recommending FODS, it is important to ensure you have knowledge of the system from an engineering perspective, including proper layouts and technical data. That’s why we are always available to provide specifier support to ensure you can confidently include FODS on your next Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

FAQ

How does the FODS Trackout Control System work?

FODS Trackout Control Mats are designed to completely replace aggregate stabilized construction entrances. The purpose and design of the FODS Trackout Control Mats are to effectively remove sediment from vehicle tires as they exit a disturbed land area onto a paved street meeting BMP requirements.

FODS Reusable Rockless Construction Entrance is designed with alternating rows of pyramids that are specifically engineered to open tire lugs as vehicles pass over, causing the mud to loosen and fall out into the base of each mat.

The mud collects at the base of the mat and will not come in contact with the tires of subsequent vehicles, preventing mud, debris, and other pollutants from leaving a worksite and entering roadways, or storm water system. Learn More

What are the dimensions of a single FODS Trackout Control mat?

FODS tracking pads are 12' wide across the entrance and 7' long in the direction of travel. Mats each weigh 430lbs. Mats can be nested for easy stacking, storage, and transport. The mats will not exceed the width requirements for highway transportation. Learn More

How do I install FODS Trackout Control Mats?

The FODS construction entrances are transported to the construction site on a large truck or trailer. The mats will then be off loaded into place with a forklift, truck mounted boom or jib crane on the in situ soils. No excavation or disturbance of the existing soil is necessary.

Once the mats are correctly situated in place, steel hardware are used to connect the mats together. Form Stakes can be manually torqued ot installed through pre-drilled holes located on the outer edges of the FODS mat. We recommend a minimum of two anchors per mat. Learn More

How are FODS Trackout Control Mats cleaned?

FODS Construction Exits are easy to clean quickly. We recommend using a Skid-steer broom attachment or a FODS Shovel (specifically shaped to scoop between pyramids).

Other options include:

  • Street Sweeper (requires adjusted bristle head)
  • Pressure Washer (must have ability to contain water)
  • Water Truck (must have ability to contain water)
