INSTALLING FODS

 

Location to place FODS Trackout Control System should correspond to the industry and to the project’s site management plan, in particular to the local council’s erosion and sediment control requirements.

Northern Territory

Tasmania

Western Australia

Consult site plans or call Dial Before You Dig before installation of the FODS system as anchor rods penetrate fairly deep into the soil. Underground utilities must be located and marked for the safety of your team and the public.

Once the FODS installation site has been established any uneven terrain should be levelled, removing large rocks and other solid debris in the process. While FODS will span over most obstacles, the flatter and smoother the terrain under the mats the more efficient and safe the FODS Trackout Control System will be.
