Site Access Services For Every Application

Our turnkey ground protection and site access services are built to support every stage of your construction project—from early planning and site preparation to access road construction, compliance, and restoration.

Site Access Planning

Start your project with a comprehensive access strategy tailored to your scope, schedule, and site conditions. Sterling’s planning process includes consultation, desktop analysis, field verification, and the development of a preliminary access plan, followed by final mapping and budgeting. Identifying potential challenges early—such as soft ground or restricted easements—helps crews mobilize efficiently and keeps costs and timelines more predictable.

Right-Of-Way Site Preparation

Prepare the ground for construction with right of way services that support access and reduce disruption. Sterling performs vegetation clearing, grading, and soil stabilization to create safe, passable paths for crews and equipment. Additional support may include debris removal and landowner coordination to meet easement requirements—helping protect sensitive areas, reducing delays, and keeping your project moving on schedule.

Temporary Access Road & Pad Construction

Establish dependable access routes tailored to your job site. Sterling installs travel lanes and work pads using mats or aggregate to stabilize soft, uneven, or sensitive terrain. These roads support repeated heavy equipment traffic, maintain productivity during adverse weather, and help prevent rutting or surface damage—reducing site disruption and helping projects stay on track with fewer costly delays.

Water Crossing & Air Bridges

Access difficult-to-reach sites with temporary cross and air bridges designed to span streams, other natural barriers, or underground utilities. Sterling deploys engineered solutions like TerraCross™ to help crews and equipment move safely across sensitive areas without causing delays or environmental damage. These systems support permitting compliance and keep projects on track when direct routes are limited—whether part of a planned buildout or emergency response.

Regulatory & Environmental Compliance

Support environmental obligations with services that help align your project with permitting and regulatory standards. Sterling assists with the implementation of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) by installing compliance-related systems such as silt fences, filter socks, and other BMPs (Best Management Practices). These solutions are designed to help protect your project from fines, delays, or reputational risk during inspections or environmental reviews.

Emergency Work

Respond quickly to site disruptions with Sterling’s emergency access services. Whether caused by severe weather, natural disasters, or unplanned outages, our team can mobilize rapidly to install access mats, construct temporary roads, or deploy bridge systems to restore movement across damaged or restricted terrain. These services help reduce downtime, maintain safety, and support critical repair efforts—especially in time-sensitive or high-impact situations where every hour counts.

Staging and Laydown Yards

Designate efficient, accessible storage areas near active job sites with mat-based staging and laydown yard solutions. Sterling installs level, load-bearing platforms that support equipment, materials, and construction components in all types of terrain. These yards help centralize resources, reduce site congestion, and improve deployment speed, especially on large or logistically complex projects where space and organization directly impact performance.

Civil Work

Support site stability and daily operations with targeted civil construction services. Sterling installs temporary and permanent gravel roads, construction entrances, and equipment pads designed to accommodate heavy machinery and minimize surface disruption. These structures help crews move safely and efficiently across the job site, reduce the risk of equipment damage, and provide a reliable foundation for ongoing project activities in varying ground conditions.

Erosion Control

Manage onsite runoff and protect surrounding land with effective erosion control measures. Sterling installs silt fences, filter socks, and other perimeter containment systems to help prevent sediment from leaving the construction site. These solutions are often integrated into compliance plans but also serve as standalone safeguards for sensitive areas such as wetlands, farmland, drainage channels, and adjacent properties.

Proven Value on Every Project

Each service we provide is backed by practical benefits that help our customers work more efficiently, reduce risk, and stay on schedule. From cost control to environmental protection, our solutions are built to support long-term project success across a wide range of industries and conditions.

Minimize Delays

Our site access planning and matting solutions help keep your crews moving—even in poor weather or over challenging terrain—reducing costly downtime.

Support Environmental Goals

Erosion control systems and access matting help limit site disturbance and protect wetlands, farmland, and other sensitive areas.

Stay on Schedule

With clearly defined access routes and staging plans, crews can mobilize on time and stay aligned with the overall construction timeline.

Protect Equipment

Mats create stable ground conditions that reduce wear and tear on vehicles and machinery, helping lower maintenance costs and avoid equipment damage.

Improve Budget Accuracy

Upfront planning and site analysis reduce unexpected costs and change orders, helping you manage budgets with greater confidence.
