Mtandt Ltd, a leading technology and service provider has done it once again ! A new revolutionary product "Portadeck" was showcased this time at the Bauma show. Portadeck was launched recently to meet the growing needs of Project companies who have to work on raw and rough terrain during the construction period. This technology was developed in conjunction with an overseas organisation. Sharing details on the application of the product and its environmental benefits, Santosh Kumar Srivastava, President-Portadeck and Special Products, Mtandt, said: "Portadeck solutions are flatbed plates made of HDPE and are very eco-friendly. Portadeck can be used to set up temporary roads and terrains for movement of men and machines. It can be laid on slushy or undulated/difficult terrains for creating approach roads to construction job sites. The products are reusable and require minimal maintenance. They can withstand the heavy loads of mobile equipment used at construction sites and are most suitable for making access roads for pipeline projects, refinery construction and maintenance jobs.

Mtandt has already worked with Indian Defence, IOCL and other similar Public sector organisations for various pipeline construction jobs. The product has met with good deal of success and appreciated by the users. Mtandt undertakes sales, product support and service, material selection and installation of the Portadeck mats. The products are available on rental basis too, widening its acceptance and making it affordable for all segments of the industry.
