Ground protection that keeps rail projects moving

Ensure Safe, Reliable Access Along the Line

Rail projects often face tough conditions, from remote locations to busy stations and yards. With frequent heavy plant, equipment deliveries, and high site traffic, reliable ground protection is vital. Stable routes allow work to continue whatever the weather and reduce the risk of delays from bogged-down vehicles or unsafe ground.

Shield sensitive zones and meet compliance goals

Protect Trackside Infrastructure and the Environment

Works near the rail corridor carry special responsibilities. GroundGuards mats prevent rutting, erosion, and contamination, helping you protect sensitive surfaces, cables, and drainage systems. Using the right protection minimises damage, supports compliance with regulations, and makes reinstatement easier at project close.
