Ground & Slope Stabilisation

Slope stabilisation is crucial to prevent rockfall & slopes slipping, similarly to rockfall services and control

Slope stabilisation: the crucial first step in civil construction and domestic projects

The planning and use of the correct procedures—along with the implementation of specific techniques to resolve the challenges of each individual project—are often critical to the projects’ success.

Ground Stabilisation Systems employs the skills of geotechnical and structural engineers and uses multiple disciplines and techniques to retain an embankment.

These techniques stabilise commercial construction, civil engineering, mining, and residential projects, from high walls to unstable slopes.

Thorough investigation and planning will ensure the techniques and equipment used to solve your ground engineering task are efficient and cost-effective.

  • Grouting
  • Shotcrete
  • Micro piles
  • Underpinning
  • Retaining systems

FAQs

I have an unstable slope, but do I need GSS?

Ground stabilisation ensures the safety and longevity of structures by providing a stable foundation. It prevents ground movement, soil erosion, and subsidence, which can compromise the structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure.

How does ground stabilisation improve ground conditions? 

Stabilisation techniques enhance ground/soil properties by increasing load-bearing capacity, reducing permeability, and improving resistance to erosion. This creates a more reliable base for construction and long-term use.

Does GSS comply with regulatory requirements? 

Yes, we adhere to local and national geotechnical and engineering standards to ensure safety, environmental compliance, and effective outcomes. We have been called upon for various projects, including road construction, rail corridor, retaining structures/walls, embankments, slopes, and building foundations. It is also essential in areas prone to soil instability or erosion.

Which slope stabilisation methods are suitable for my site? 

We assess each site individually before recommending suitable slope stabilisation methods. Solutions may include soil nailing, rock bolting, drainage, shotcrete or retaining walls designed to retain soil and provide long-term protection.

Can slope stabilisation be used for residential and mining projects?

Yes. We work with clients across residential, government, civil, commercial, and mining projects. Whether the concern involves an unstable slope near a house or a large excavation, we can recommend a solution suited to the ground conditions and project requirements.

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
