  1. Introduction

   The ground protection mat is very useful for dealing with muddy ground construction.These mats provide a stable platform for heavy machinery and personnel, preventing accidents and ensuring continuity of work during adverse weather conditions. The application of ground protection mats on muddy grounds not only increases operational efficiency but also plays a significant role in minimizing environmental impact. Next, we will combine the insights of industry experts and on-site observations to explore the practical applications of these ground protection mats.

 2.Methodology

  This study employed a qualitative research approach, focusing on thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with construction project managers and environmental experts, alongside ethnographic observations of ongoing projects on muddy terrains. The chosen methodology facilitated a comprehensive understanding of practical applications and challenges associated with ground protection mats. Ethical considerations were rigorously addressed, ensuring the confidentiality and consent of all participants involved.

  1. Qualitative Analysis

The qualitative data gathered indicated several critical applications of ground protection mats on muddy grounds. Firstly, these mats significantly enhance load distribution, providing stable access routes for machinery and vehicles, which prevents them from sinking into the mud. Additionally, they help maintain a cleaner work site by reducing the amount of mud tracked by vehicles onto public roads and other clean areas. Moreover, the use of these mats contributes to environmental preservation by protecting the soil structure and preventing surface water contamination.
