The Northern Mat & Bridge Difference
At Northern Mat & Bridge (NMB), our people, values, experience, and passion are our greatest strengths. We provide access products for industry projects across North America, working closely with teams to ensure the safe movement of crews and equipment. Our commitment to excellence, safety, and environmental responsibility sets us apart in several key ways.
Respecting Indigenous Communities
We understand successful relationships are built on mutual respect, fairness, understanding, and most importantly open communication. Since our inception in 1999, we have learned from our Indigenous partners. We recognize our responsibility, and we embrace our role in economic reconciliation.
Environmental Protection
Industry projects sometimes take place in environmentally sensitive areas, and any work completed in these areas needs to be done with great care.
Access mats protect these sensitive lands by ensuring equipment does not touch the ground, which is critical in preventing cross-contamination, protecting root systems, preventing surface erosion, and generally minimizing the environmental impact of these projects.
Rigorous Safety Standards
Our clients can feel confident knowing our Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) ensures every step of the job is completed safely and with the utmost efficiency. On-site supervisors monitor, control, measure, and regularly implement improvements to our safety protocols and workflows.
Health and safety personnel perform frequent on-site inspections of all our equipment to verify all government, client, and internal requirements are completed and up to date.
Expert Budgeting & Fiscal Management
