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.

Airport upgrades

A company in South East Sydney contacted Ground Nurse to support a major project taking place near Sydney Airport. Over several months, we worked closely with their team to understand the site conditions, environmental challenges, and access requirements to ensure the best possible outcome for the project.

This site presented unique complexities. The team needed a stable access road that could support constant heavy vehicle traffic, while also overcoming high-wind exposure and soft winter ground conditions. To secure the mats safely and prevent shifting, Ground Nurse supplied a combination of ground anchors and interlocking connectors, ensuring the matting system remained stable even during difficult weather.

As the project moved into winter, conditions on site deteriorated, with rain and soft soil making access extremely challenging. According to the client, the job simply couldn’t have been completed without the support of the Ground Nurse system. The temporary access road we supplied held up to 30 truck movements per day, and the integrated turning bay at the end of the run allowed vehicles to maneuver in and out efficiently, keeping the project on schedule.

This project demonstrates Ground Nurse’s ability to deliver durable, reliable matting solutions for high-demand commercial environments, even when faced with extreme weather and complex logistical requirements.
