THE CHALLENGE: CONTROLLING CONTAMINATION BEYOND SITE

History has shown that poorly controlled construction and redevelopment activities can carry contaminated soil, mud and debris far beyond project boundaries. When vehicle tyres leave a site without being properly cleaned, harmful material may be transferred onto public roads and into nearby communities.

Past incidents involving former industrial and contaminated land have demonstrated the serious environmental, safety and public-health consequences of inadequate trackout control. These lessons reinforce the need for effective containment measures at every site exit—particularly on demolition, remediation and redevelopment projects where hazardous material may be present.

THE SOLUTION: EFFECTIVE TRACKOUT CONTROL AT SITE EXITS

The FODS Trackout Control System provides a practical way to prevent mud, soil and debris from being carried beyond project boundaries. Positioned directly at site exits, the system begins cleaning vehicle tyres as traffic passes across its surface.

Manufactured from high-strength composite material, each mat features a nodular design that flexes the tyres and dislodges trapped material from the treads. Fast installation and minimal site preparation make it an efficient alternative to costly or inconsistent wheel-washing arrangements.

Designed for repeated use, FODS helps keep surrounding roads and communities cleaner, supports responsible environmental practices and protects road surfaces from unnecessary damage.

THE OUTCOME: CLEANER ROADS, SAFER COMMUNITIES

Effective trackout control prevents mud and debris from travelling beyond site boundaries. By capturing material from vehicle tyres before they enter public areas, FODS helps reduce environmental impact, protect surrounding communities and maintain cleaner, safer roads.

As environmental expectations and site-control requirements continue to increase, this reusable system offers a practical and cost-efficient approach to responsible site management—supporting compliance without disrupting traffic movement or daily operations.
