Site Access Matting & Turf Protection Systems
High-Load Site Access and Sensitive Landscape Protection for Any Environment
When you need to move heavy equipment across poor soils, or protect sensitive turf and shorelines from traffic and erosion, you need a system engineered for the exact environment. Traditional solutions like thick aggregate layers or heavy timber mats are costly and slow to deploy, while unprotected turf is easily destroyed by construction vehicles.
As the authorized exclusive distributor for Presto Geosystems in the State of Alaska, GeoCHEM, Inc. provides highly specialized, lightweight matting solutions designed to deliver unwavering support without the massive freight and handling expenses of heavy HDPE or timber mats.

Engineered Stabilization & Protection Advantages
Create access across soft ground and safeguard sensitive environments with speed, agility, and safety using our advanced matting systems:
- Heavy Equipment Support (GEOTERRA®): Delivers structural load-bearing capacity equivalent to 12 inches of aggregate base. Prevents vehicles from sinking in wet, low-CBR soils without the high transport costs of traditional timber mats.
- Turf & Lawn Preservation (GEORUNNER®): Lightweight panels distribute weight evenly to protect grassed areas from compaction, severe rutting, and mud tracking during temporary pedestrian or light-vehicle access events.
- Severe Scour Defense: Flush-anchored systems absorb the impact of dynamic water energy, locking the underlying soil or vegetation in place to prevent severe erosion from culvert discharges and shoreline fluctuations.
Core Applications
- Construction & Industrial: Fast-deployment access roads, heavy equipment work platforms, and tracking pads over wet or poor soils.
- Landscape & Municipal: Handover protection for finished park lawns, golf courses, and emergency access lanes.
- Environmental: High-velocity water runoff containment and shoreline stabilization.
