Concrete Pipeline Mats

The mats are considered engineered riprap and in comparison to riprap will perform better in the bed of the stream where the highest shear stresses occur.

Concrete pipeline mats.

Submar provides submar mats articulated concrete revetment mats for use in the most volatile and erosive environments. Before that operators in the gulf used very inefficient sand cement bags for pipeline crossings. These pads were developed to protect thin filmed epoxy coated pipelines from contacting our concrete mats. Since submar introduced the precast concrete mat technology sand cement bag pipeline crossings have become almost obsolete.

Articulating concrete mats acm provide the best solution for covering and securing exposed pipelines. The flexible concrete structures are placed over the underground pipeline allowing water to flow over them without eroding the pipeline underneath. Our dynamic design allows the mat to conform to any pipeline and maintain its stability on the seabed. In 1990 submar introduced precast concrete mat technology to the gulf of mexico.

Our products are purpose built to protect your assets in subsea environments inland streams and runoff washes and arid locations where wind erosion is a primary concern submar 9 and 12 mats have been used successfully for pipeline separation stabilization and. These revetment mats can also be used to reinforce embankments protect shorelines and restore wetlands. Submar mats can be supplied with patented non shielding non abrasive pads. The pads are 7 1 2 x 7 1 2 square and are made of heavy duty 3 8 p v c.
