How to Protect Pavement with UHMWPE Outrigger Pads

Overview

This guide covers the practical steps to protect pavement with uhmwpe outrigger pads. JSLT GroundMat produces engineering plastic components in UHMWPE, HDPE, PA, POM and PTFE — full-process fabrication from raw sheet to CNC-machined parts.

Step-by-step procedure

1. Identify pavement type. Asphalt softens above 25°C ambient; concrete more forgiving.
2. Use larger pad area. Larger pad = lower pavement pressure.
3. Add geotextile or plywood under pad. Spreads load further; prevents pavement marking.
4. Inspect pavement post-lift. Photograph pavement before and after; document any marking.
5. Schedule pavement repairs if needed. Plan for asphalt re-rolling if any displacement detected.
