When Pro Rail Services needed access to complete embankment works in Guildford, Surrey, they turned to TPA’s temporary roadways service.
The project, which began in November 2024, presented a series of logistical hurdles. From narrow country lanes to boggy farmland, the site required careful planning and technical expertise.
Negotiating restricted access
Reaching the site itself was the first challenge. The route to Burrows Lane involved tight country lanes, making it difficult for heavy vehicles to approach.
Once on site, the ground conditions added another layer of complexity. The working area was set within farmland where the risk of waterlogging made access particularly difficult.
Installing 250 temporary roadway panels
Despite these obstacles, TPA successfully installed 250 heavy-duty aluminium panels across the farm. The panels created a stable compound and reliable access routes, enabling Pro Rail’s vehicles to operate safely and efficiently while embankment works took place.
Expertise that makes the difference
Pro Rail Services praised TPA’s planning and professionalism:
“TPA Portable Roadways provided an excellent solution to overcome the logistical challenges of accessing the site, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation. Their expertise and careful planning made all the difference, allowing us to complete our embankment works without any delays.”
Temporary roadway hire with full support
This project is a strong example of how TPA combines technical expertise, logistics planning, and responsive service to keep critical infrastructure projects on track. From initial site assessment through to transport, installation, and final collection, TPA’s teams ensure that every project has a clear course of action from the outset.
By choosing temporary roadway hire from TPA, contractors can be confident of overcoming even the most challenging access conditions.
