Piling Rig Matting Solutions
The Challenge Piling rigs exert enormous ground pressures through their tracks — demanding a firm, level working surface that many construction sites cannot naturally provide.
The Solution JWA composite mat platforms create load-rated working surfaces for piling operations, eliminating rig instability and protecting the ground beneath.
Piling rigs demand firm, level platforms — unstable ground risks equipment tipping and pile deviation.
Rig movements over soft ground damage working surfaces and compact surrounding soil layers.
Poor ground conditions delay rig positioning and reduce the number of piles completed per shift.
Deploy rapid access systems that protect the environment while supporting heavy loads.
Engineered composite mats distribute weight effectively, preventing bogging and ground damage.
Quick installation and removal means minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
Our systems provide reliable access in any weather conditions, keeping projects on schedule.
Durable construction allows for multiple deployments, reducing overall project costs.
Real-world examples of how composite matting solves access challenges for piling pads projects.
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.
Townsville, QLD
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.
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.
