Walking Track Construction

We take a mindful approach to creating walking tracks in environmentally sensitive spaces like Australia’s national parks.

Australia’s trail building specialists assisting with design, construction, maintenance, and repairs.

To ensure Australia’s scenic walking tracks are safe and secure, extensive planning is required.

First of all, we must consider how our work will impact the natural environment, especially in environmentally sensitive areas like rainforests and national parks.

Then, we must also consider Australian Standards (AS 2156.1-2001) to ensure everyone who uses the track will be safe at all times including access during Australia’s extreme weather conditions.

Ground Stabilisation Systems employs a wide range of geotechnical skills, disciplines, and techniques to complete walking track construction projects. Over the last 20 years, we have created countless scenic walking tracks for local communities and tourists alike to enjoy, while preserving the structural integrity (and beauty) of the area.

Building trails on steep slopes can be a challenge. However, we own and operate a wide range of specialist machinery so our team can work in the most challenging terrain. This machinery also allows us to take a safe and mindful approach to trail building, so we do not impact the natural environment too harshly.

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
