Erosion Control Solutions

Erosion control is essential for building, construction and maintaining existing buildings.

We offer effective erosion control systems to ensure your construction project goes smoothly.

When it comes to our client’s construction and building projects, Ground Stabilisation Systems is most often involved from the very early planning stages, carrying out detailed investigations and assessments to identify the correct and most cost-effective erosion control solutions prior to work commencing.

That being said, given technological advances, we often find ourselves repairing many sites with poorly installed erosion control methods.

What we do

We employ numerous techniques and skills to optimise erosion control, subject to your specific project requirements and the type of terrain:

  • TRMs
  • Erosion control geotextiles
  • Permanent erosion protection mats
  • Soil nailing
  • Sub-horizontal drainage
  • Channel linings to direct water flow
  • Smart drains
  • Reno mattresses
  • Three-dimensional systems.

These erosion control systems are designed to manage Erosion , stabilise soil, and protect embankments and slopes from ongoing damage due to water. Whether preparing a new site or dealing with erosion remediation on an existing one, our tailored approach helps prevent soil erosion, improve ground stability, and support successful project delivery.

A complete approach to erosion control

Erosion can occur naturally over time due to rain, wind, and water flow or be triggered by construction activities that disturb the soil and vegetation. If left unmanaged, erosion can lead to costly delays, safety hazards, and environmental damage. Our erosion control solutions are built around a comprehensive understanding of each site’s conditions, including slope angles, soil types, water movement, and vegetation cover.

We work with clients across a wide range of sectors and landscapes, including:

  • Civil and infrastructure works
  • Road and railway embankments
  • Waterways, riverbanks, and drainage channels
  • Steep or unstable slopes
  • Mining and industrial sites
  • Landscaping applications and public spaces.

Our solutions help stabilise embankments, protect banks, and preserve valuable topsoil while supporting revegetation efforts where appropriate.

Practical erosion control systems that work

Our erosion control systems include materials and techniques that suit Australian conditions. For example, in locations that experience high rainfall and fast water flow, we may recommend heavy-duty erosion control blankets or mats to protect exposed surfaces and reduce runoff. These products help hold the soil in place during intense weather events and stabilise long-term.

Where revegetation is part of the plan, biodegradable materials like coir logs and natural fibre mats can protect the ground while allowing native grasses and plants to be established. These forms of erosion control are commonly used in environmentally sensitive areas, especially along waterways and landscaping applications where low maintenance is a priority.

Our erosion control blankets and mats are durable, easy to install, and suitable for various soil types. Once installed, they offer immediate protection from wind and water erosion while encouraging new vegetation growth.

Why erosion control matters

Erosion affects a site’s aesthetics, foundations, slope stability, and even nearby roads or buildings. In some cases, uncontrolled erosion can expose or damage critical infrastructure. That’s why early intervention with effective erosion control products is essential.

Our team applies proven techniques to prevent shifting soil, reduce sediment flow into waterways, and manage stormwater across difficult terrain. Whether you’re dealing with steep slopes, high winds, or highly erodible soil, we’ll tailor a solution that fits your construction and environmental needs.

Durable, low maintenance results

One of the key advantages of our erosion control systems is their durability. Many products we supply and install are designed for long-term use and require little ongoing maintenance. That makes them ideal for remote or hard-to-reach locations where frequent access isn’t practical.

We also work with materials and systems that can be integrated into permanent landscaping or bank protection works. Our approach delivers strength, longevity, and value across various site conditions, from erosion control blankets and coir logs to concrete channel linings and smart drainage solutions.

Expert guidance and installation with GSS

Choosing the right erosion control solution means understanding the relationship between soil, water, vegetation, and terrain. With decades of experience across Australia, the GSS team has the practical knowledge and technical expertise to assess your site, recommend suitable erosion control systems, and manage the full installation process.

We take into account all relevant factors, including:

  • Site slope and angle
  • Type and condition of soil
  • Presence of existing vegetation
  • Proximity to waterways or other structures
  • Construction timelines and access requirements.

Sometimes, we coordinate with environmental consultants, or landscape architects to ensure that all erosion control measures support the broader project goals.

Whether you’re planning a new development or need help with erosion remediation on an existing site, Ground Stabilisation Systems can help. Our experienced team works across various locations and projects throughout Australia, delivering effective, durable, and cost-effective erosion control.

Our testimonials

Jeff Breen – Armidale Regional Council, Project Manager

The GSS team worked well with all stakeholders to ensure the landslip remediations stayed on budget and program. GSS provided a good quality project with little impact to the local community. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future for similar works.

Ahmed Gomaa – Heritage Stoneworks, Project Manager

The overall performance of the contractor was good, they were helpful, supportive, and professional. The quality of their work was good. They managed our requirements, as well as our stakeholders, in a timely manner. The contractor complied with the Heritage Architectural requirements and maintained the heritage significance of the rock face. GSS will be recommended to handle similar projects with the division in the future.  GSS provided a superior service and were able to keep the Project on time and on budget.

Jon Hines – MC Group, Project Manager

Ground Stabilisation Systems installed approx. 1,000sqm of geowebbing including rock anchoring to our Billy’s Lookout Estate. Peter and the team completed the project in a professional, reliable and safe manner to present a quality product. I would not hesitate to recommend Ground Stabilisation Systems.

Lizzie Attwood – Coffs Harbour City Council

GSS performed soil nailing, rock nailing, shotcrete, steel cable and mesh bank protection systems. Some of these works were over water and all were conducted with minimal environmental impact. We would have no hesitation in using Ground Stabilisation Systems on future works.

Troy Gould – KCE, Project Manager

It was great to work with an organisation that was on site when agreed, completed their works with the agreed time frames and went over and above to ensure that not only KCE but our client was happy with all works to be carried out.

Elena Kuzman – Abril Building Solutions, Project Manager

We found GSS to be a trustworthy and valuable company, with the ability to deliver a high quality of work, under difficult circumstances, and very tight deadlines. Although many obstacles were presented throughout the project, they still managed to meet the requirements and handed over the project as per the anticipated schedule. Peter’s approach is evident in all aspects of the work including quoting, communication, availability and customer service to both our company and our customers
