Solutions
The Challenge Protected land, conservation zones, and heritage sites often have fragile soils and strict access restrictions — yet essential maintenance, survey, and construction works still need to proceed.
The Solution JWA composite mat systems provide approved temporary access across the most sensitive and restricted environments, leaving no permanent ground trace.

Key Challenges
What Makes Sensitive Site Access Demanding
Ground Stability
Protected land and conservation zones often have shallow, fragile soils unsuitable for direct loading.
- Soil Failure
- Root Zone Damage
Environmental Protection
Any ground disturbance in sensitive areas risks permanent ecological damage and regulatory penalties.
- Habitat Loss
- Compliance Breach
Operational Efficiency
Strict site conditions limit plant size and access windows, constraining productivity and programme.
- Restricted Plant
- Access Windows

Featured Project
Morningside, QLD
Balmoral Park
Our client was tasked to carry out stormwater works for the City of Brisbane at Balmoral Park, a site of local heritage significance. Dura-Base mats were installed over the existing footpath to create a temporary roadway, providing safe access for a tracked excavator while protecting the heritage grounds and aveune of weeping figs.

Stockyard Hill, VIC
Stockyard Hill - Transmission Line Works
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.

Gladstone, QLD
Wasteline Replacement in Tidal Flats
The QAL Waste Line Replacement project involved the installation of an 8.8 km above-ground pipeline at Queensland Alumina’s Gladstone refinery. The project required a low-impact solution to gain access for installing the new line while operations continued, as well as for the removal of the old line and piling upgrades to existing structures.
