Australia's toughest ground protection solutions. Composite matting for hire and sale. Built for mining, energy, and infrastructure.
With over 20 years of experience on major projects in oil and gas, infrastructure and construction, we understand the challenges needing temporary access and ground improvement solutions.
We don't just supply mats; we engineer access solutions that keep your project moving, regardless of the terrain or weather conditions.
Kooragang Island, Port of Newcastle, NSW
How composite swamp mats provided temporary access into mangrove wetlands with known acid sulfate soils. The project required careful environmental management to protect the sensitive wetland ecosystem while enabling essential geotechnical investigations.
Acacia Ridge, QLD
Urgently needed and time restricted, emergency access was required for a 450-tonne crane to enter a rain-affected site. JWA mobilised rapidly to support this critical rail infrastructure project.
Sydney, NSW
A $700m residential development required stable access for heavy machinery during sheet piling works. Dura-Base mats provided a reliable platform despite abundance of groundwater and seasonal rains.
Multiple Locations, VIC
FODS Trackout Control Mats, an innovative approach to sediment control on construction site entrances, are in high demand in its US home ground. But how do they perform in Australian conditions and workplace standards? We put them to the test on two of Victoria s major road and rail infrastructure projects.
Raby Bay, QLD
Dura-Base matting served as a stable crane platform for a pontoon installation by the coast at Raby Bay, QLD. The mats ensured the safe operation of the crane near the water s edge.
Gin Gin, QLD
JWA safely delivered Dura-Base Composite Matting as the solution for rebuilding a substation site in Gin Gin without major resurfacing works. The mats provided on-demand stabilisation for a 30t piling rig despite heavy rainfall and a sandy clay subsurface.
Undisclosed
The Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker required a robust surfacing solution for taxi aprons and parking during military exercises. Dura-Base mats provided a 105mm thick, interlocking platform capable of withstanding the 135-tonne aircraft loads.
Marcoola, QLD
The Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project required access across Marcoola Beach for pipeline construction. Dura-Base mats provided a non-slip, temporary road that protected endangered sea turtle nesting grounds and eliminated the need for imported fill.
Stockyard Hill, VIC
The Stockyard Hill Wind Farm project involved connecting over 74km of transmission lines across challenging and sensitive terrain. Dura-Base composite matting was used extensively across several scopes including construction access tracks, turbine construction, and trenching. This case study focuses on the transmission line works and the environmental protection measures implemented.
Woolloongabba, QLD
For Adele’s first ever Brisbane concert at The Gabba, JWA provided a man-portable Rhino Mat solution. This created a temporary staging area that protected the sensitive stadium grounds during the massive event setup.
Brisbane, QLD
The construction of Brisbane Airport s new runway included the installation of HIAL runway lights. Dura-Base mats were utilised as a stable piling platform for a 280-tonne crane operating with a vibro-hammer, mitigating wet weather risks.
Undisclosed
Dura-Base mats were subjected to rigorous tank trials to test their suitability for military use. The mats provided a robust surface capable of withstanding the immense weight and abrasive tracks of heavy military vehicles.
Temporary taxi aprons, helipads and aircraft parking areas for airshows, military exercises and airport upgrade programs.

Composite matting for construction of residential apartments, commercial developments, new estates and excavation works. From high-rise construction to residential subdivisions, our matting solutions keep building sites accessible and productive in all conditions. Reduce weather delays and maintain safe access throughout your project lifecycle.
Matting for soft sand access and infrastructure protection installable within a day. Coastal environments are both sensitive and challenging. Our matting solutions provide vehicle access across beaches and dunes while protecting fragile coastal ecosystems from the impact of construction and maintenance activities.
Composite matting for civil construction, earthworks, road building and pipeline projects. Heavy civil works demand reliable ground access solutions that perform in all conditions. Our matting systems provide temporary roadways, equipment platforms, and site access that protect the ground surface and keep your construction programme on schedule, regardless of wet weather or soft ground conditions.
Protect existing infrastructure, public grounds, minimise disturbance to communities. Local government projects often work within public spaces that require protection and restoration. Our matting solutions enable council works to proceed while protecting parks, ovals, and public infrastructure from construction damage.
All terrain composite matting for military training exercises, remote camps, temporary helipads and aircraft taxiways. Defence operations require rapid deployment capabilities in diverse and challenging environments. Our matting systems support military exercises, temporary facilities, and infrastructure projects with proven reliability.
