Government and defence works often involve controlled sites, public assets, sensitive surfaces and strict delivery requirements.

Defence, government and controlled-site works often involve restricted access, sensitive surfaces, public assets and strict operational requirements. Bases, depots, heritage areas, environmental sites, pavements, hardstands and temporary compounds can all be affected by repeated vehicle movement or heavy equipment.
The right ground protection and load-support setup helps manage access, protect the site and support field operations without creating unnecessary disruption.

Ground Nurse supplied ground protection mats to the Department of Infrastructure on Norfolk Island to help manage vehicle parking and pedestrian movement for the island’s annual Labour Day event.
The site included heritage-sensitive areas that needed protection from foot traffic and overflow parking, while also reducing the risk of vehicles becoming bogged in softer ground. The requirement was time-critical, with the mats needing to be supplied at short notice and airfreighted to meet the event deadline.
By responding quickly and working within the project’s logistical constraints, Ground Nurse helped deliver a practical solution that supported site access while protecting environmentally and historically sensitive ground conditions. The project highlights our ability to support government departments, meet remote delivery requirements and respond to projects where timing and compliance matter.
