About Us
Established in 2001, TPA Portable Roadways has experienced expediential growth to become Europe’s largest supplier of access solutions. Constantly investing in stock, equipment and our fleet, coupled with a passion for product innovation ensures that TPA continues to pioneer the portable roadways industry.
Last year, over 25 million people walked safely across TPA’s portable roadway system to access some of the UK’s biggest events and festivals.
Mixing large numbers of people, vehicles with the typical British weather can spell disaster unless serious thought is applied at the planning stage to safety, security and practicalities should the unthinkable happen.
TPA has been supplying award winning, cost effective access solutions to the UK’s leading outdoor events for nearly ten years, ensuring locations are easily accessible, the ground remains intact and the site is free from potential slips, trips and falls. But it’s not just access that TPA can supply; it’s the peace of mind that the build and recovery schedule will be adhered to. More importantly if things don’t go quite according to plan, the skilled crews have the experience to work with organisers to co-ordinate alternative plans without turning a drama into a crisis.
TPA’s installation crews are handpicked for their suitability to work on individual events, with each installation being projected managed by an experienced member of the operations team. It is this dedication to excellent service that allows over 14 kilometres of equipment to be recovered by three crews in just ten days at T in the Park.
With over 90 kilometres of roadway panels, enough to go around Australia’s Ayres Rock ten times, the stock holding will increase by a further 1,000 panels this season. The award winning MD40 can be installed quickly using 17 metre telehandlers and be utilised to build tough ‘fortress’ fencing to secure events, and keeping non paying visitors at bay. The range also includes steerable panels and camber panels which provide orthogonal traction to vehicles where required. From a network of regional depots supported by the main head office, stock is dispatched around the country and mainland Europe and is complemented by crowd control barriers, toilets and traffic control systems provided by TPA Site Services division.
With a team spirit based on its ‘can do’ attitude, TPA is proud to supply the Leeds and Reading Festivals, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, The Open golf and many of the RHS flower shows up and down the country. These large prestigious events are joined by hundreds of smaller local events that also rely on TPA’s knowledge to ensure their visitors enjoy a safe and secure experience- whatever the weather.
TPA Events & Festivals projects include:
* Hard standing for vehicles, generators and car parking.
* Creating access routes through site for crew, catering equipment, front of stage and backstage.
* Perimeter fencing – deterring non-paying visitors, with periodically positioned gates to facilitate the safe flow of ticket holding visitors.
* Additionally, sister company Site Services can provide fencing and traffic management systems.
