Ground Protection for Defence
Why Ground Protection?
Ground Nurse mats serve as the strategic foundation of any defence operation. These mats provide a stable hardstand for heavy equipment and vehicles, enhancing safety and operational efficiency in any terrain or weather conditions.
Operation Continuity, No Exceptions
Designed for the rigorous demands of defence use, Ground Nurse mats fortify the ground to withstand the immense weight of defence machinery, ensuring that operations proceed without interruption. Their quick deployment capability and durable construction make them an essential asset for defence readiness and mobility, turning potential terrain challenges into non-issues. Whether in the heat of a desert or the muddiness of a rain-soaked field, these mats keep your operations moving forward, securely and effectively.
With Ground Nurse mats, you gain a dependable foundation that boosts your operation’s effectiveness while protecting the integrity of your terrain. Stay focused on the mission at hand – leave the ground protection to us.

Case Study
Ground Nurse was engaged to provide a comprehensive ground protection solution for a visiting defence force that required a temporary aircraft parking base at an airfield. The project involved deploying 450 high-capacity mats, stillages, and connectors to create a stable and durable platform capable of supporting heavy-duty use, including the movement of forklifts and the secure parking and maintenance of aircraft.
Challenges
– Weight Capacity: The mats needed to support heavy-duty forklifts and aircraft without compromising stability.
– Ground Protection: The airfield required a system that would prevent damage to the existing ground surface, which could otherwise be affected by the increased load and movement.
– Safety Requirements: The surface had to be secure and safe for maintenance crews to carry out their work without risk of instability or shifting.
Solution Implemented
Ground Nurse delivered a tailored solution comprising:
– 450 Heavy-Duty Ground Protection Mats: Engineered for high load-bearing capacity to support both forklifts and aircraft, ensuring a stable, non-slip surface.
– Stillages and Connectors: Strategically used to link the mats, providing added stability and preventing any separation under load.
– Precision Installation: The mats were positioned to create a seamless parking base, effectively distributing weight and preventing localised ground pressure.
– Matstor Stillages: Provided compact storage for the mats once the exercise concluded, ensuring efficient pack-up, reduced storage space requirements, and ease of transport.
Results
– Enhanced Safety: The mechanical staff reported a secure and stable working environment, with reduced risk of slippage or ground movement.
– Ground Integrity Maintained: The mats prevented damage to the airfield, maintaining the quality of the surface despite heavy vehicular traffic.
– Operational Efficiency: The setup supported the quick and safe maintenance of aircraft, contributing to the operational readiness of the defence force during their visit.
– Streamlined Post-Exercise Management: The use of Matstor stillages enabled quick and compact storage of the mats, minimising downtime and optimising storage space for future use.
