Dulacca, QLD
Powerline Stringing - Dulacca Wind Farm
How Dura-Base Composite Mats provided a cost-effective alternative to traditional crushed rock for the 180MW Dulacca Windfarm project, protecting sensitive agricultural land.
Acacia Ridge, QLD
Queensland Rail
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.
Sakhalin Island, Russia
Sakhalin Island Heavy Lift
The Sakhalin-2 oil and gas development in Russia required a reliable and portable composite matting system to facilitate the construction of an LNG plant. Dura-Base mats were used to create heavy lift access pads for self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) to move massive modules across sandy terrain in extreme weather conditions.
Central Queensland, QLD
Dragline Move
The 3,200T Marion 8050 dragline was scheduled to travel for four months through the rugged outback terrain in regional Queensland, Australia. This massive machine relocation required careful planning and robust ground support systems.
Onslow, WA
Wheatstone
The Wheatstone project required geotechnical drilling operations over a period of 12 months. Dura-Base mats were essential for providing access to the site, as the soft ground conditions caused standard all-terrain vehicles to bog. Additionally, the mats protected heavy machinery from the corrosive acid sulphate soils present on site.
Coochiemudlo Island, QLD
Coochiemudlo Island
During the replacement of the main barge ramp, Dura-Base Composite Mats provided a temporary vehicular barge landing on the beach at Coochiemudlo Island. This ensured continued access for residents, day-trippers, and construction crews.
Multiple Locations, VIC
Level Crossing Removal Project
The dangerous and congested crossing between Skye and Overton Roads in Frankston required a removal solution that improved safety and reduced congestion. Dura-Base mats provided essential temporary access in this constricted, high-traffic environment.
Townsville, QLD
Ross River Solar Farm
The $225 million Ross River Solar Farm faced severe ground instability due to flash flooding. Dura-Base mats provided a stable, temporary platform for piling works, ensuring the installation of 450,000 solar panels continued despite the wet conditions.
Victoria, VIC
Connections Project
The $2 billion Connections Project, Australia’s largest irrigation modernisation project, required stable access for pipeline trenching in rain-affected, boggy ground. Dura-Base mats provided a continuous stable roadway, preventing excavators from sinking and enabling the project to proceed.
Miami, QLD
GM Poles Lighting Installation
Lighting experts GM Poles were tasked with the supply and installation of lighting upgrades for the City of Gold Coasts’ Miami Aquatic Centre. The project involved moving a 33-tonne Hitachi Zaxis excavator across sensitive concrete flooring and protecting buried high-pressure water pipes and tanks.
Kooragang Island, Port of Newcastle, NSW
Geotechnical Studies on Kooragang Island
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.
Multiple locations, QLD
Australia Pacific LNG Project
The Australia Pacific LNG Project faced 14 months of geotechnical investigations in extremely sloppy ground conditions with daily tidal fluctuations. Dura-Base mats created a firm platform for drilling rigs, enabling over 100 core penetration tests.
Industries
We Serve.
Aviation
Temporary taxi aprons, helipads and aircraft parking areas for airshows, military exercises and airport upgrade programs. Aviation projects require precisely level surfaces and high load-bearing capacity. Our matting solutions support temporary and permanent aviation facilities with the reliability that the industry demands. Consult with us today!
Building
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.
Coastal
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.
Construction
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.
Council Works
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.
Defence
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.
