Ground Protection for Infrastructure
Why Ground Protection?
Ground protection is vital to the infrastructure industry, where heavy machinery often meets unstable ground. Ground Nurse, provides top-quality ground protection mats that ensure safety, prevent accidents, and offer efficient heavy machinery access to varying terrains, regardless of weather conditions.
Prevent and protect
Each work site is unique and often sensitive to ground movement. Understanding this, Ground Nurse mats feature high-traction, low-slip patterns that effectively prevent equipment slippage while simultaneously protecting the integrity of the ground below and mitigating damage to fragile terrains.
With Ground Nurse, no terrain is off limits. Our different mat products grant you the freedom to operate when and where necessary, providing optimal traction for machinery of any size. If ground conditions threaten to slow down your work, Ground Nurse mats are your solution for rapid mobility. Our easy-carry mats can be quickly deployed and conveniently stored in Ground Nurse stillages, ensuring your operations never miss a beat.

Case Study
A large civil construction company engaged in a new rail project faced significant challenges with debris being tracked onto suburban streets by construction vehicles. This created potential environmental hazards for sensitive waterways in the area and posed aesthetic and amenity issues for local residents and traffic. The company needed a durable and sustainable solution that would minimise debris, be reusable for future projects, and be easy to clean, transport, and maintain.
Challenges
– Environmental Concerns: Preventing debris from contaminating nearby sensitive waterways and protecting the local environment.
– Community Impact: Reducing the negative aesthetic and traffic impacts on local residents.
– Durability and Reusability: The mats needed to be robust enough for heavy use and reusable across future projects.
– Sustainability Targets: The solution needed to incorporate recycled materials to align with the project’s environmental goals.
– Ease of Use: A solution that could be easily set up, maintained, and transported was essential for operational efficiency.
Solution Implemented
Ground Nurse supplied the project with Rumblz Trackout Mats, designed to meet the
construction company’s needs:
– Durability and Performance: The mats were engineered for high durability, capable of
withstanding the weight and traffic of construction vehicles while effectively removing debris
from their tyres.
– Sustainable Materials: Rumblz Trackout Mats were made using recycled materials, aligning with the project’s sustainability targets and commitment to environmental responsibility.
– Ease of Use: The mats were lightweight and designed for easy cleaning and transportation, allowing for quick setup and minimal maintenance effort.
– Reusability: The high-quality construction of the mats meant they could be reused on future projects, maximising their value and supporting long-term operational needs.
Results
– Reduction in Environmental Impact: The mats successfully minimised the amount of debris tracked onto suburban streets, reducing the risk of contamination to sensitive waterways.
– Community Benefits: Cleaner streets enhanced the aesthetic value of the neighbourhood and reduced disruptions for local residents and traffic.
– Operational Efficiency: The easy-to-clean, reusable design of the Rumblz mats made them cost-effective and practical for both immediate and future use.
– Sustainability Achieved: The use of recycled materials contributed to meeting the project’s environmental and sustainability targets, supporting eco-friendly construction practices.
