We don't just supply mats; we engineer access solutions that keep your project moving, regardless of the terrain or weather conditions.
Springvale, QLD
Our client drilled to find coal and gather the gas that is pumped out for commercial export. This coal seam gas project required reliable ground support systems for drilling operations on soft ground.
Gladstone, QLD
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.
West Melbourne, VIC
800m of light-duty composite matting was installed to be used as a temporary shared user pathway. This major infrastructure project required innovative solutions for maintaining public access during construction.
India
Dura-Base oilfield mats created a safe work platform for Weatherford’s Rig 807 drilling operations in India. The unique movable rig subbase exerted extreme pressure of over 175,000 lbs per tire, which the Dura-Base composite system handled successfully.
Onslow, WA
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.
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.
Sakhalin Island, Russia
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.
Sydney, NSW
A 4-day large-scale sporting event in Sydney featured a unique car race held on an island. Dura-Base mats were chosen to provide a high-performance surface capable of handling high-speed manoeuvres, replacing generic light-duty options that were insufficient.
Port Moresby, PNG
The Korobosea rig site and Moro base camp were among the first locations in PNG to utilise Dura-Base Composite Matting for oilfield rig mats, breaking a 50-year trend of using timber. This innovative method provided a solid footing for campsite flooring and rig locations, leading to the successful completion of the drilling program.
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.
Queensland, QLD
The Moonie Oilfields developmental program faced delays due to rain-affected well sites. Dura-Base Composite Matting System was mobilised to provide a safe, reliable platform for oil operations, supporting the program across multiple sites over a three-month period.
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.

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.
