Concrete Pipeline Mats

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.

Concrete pipeline mats. These revetment mats can also be used to reinforce embankments protect shorelines and restore wetlands. 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. Before that operators in the gulf used very inefficient sand cement bags for pipeline crossings.

Submar mats can be supplied with patented non shielding non abrasive pads. Submar erosion control mats are used to protect onshore pipelines from erosion. The pads are 7 1 2 x 7 1 2 square and are made of heavy duty 3 8 p v c. The flexible concrete structures are placed over the underground pipeline allowing water to flow over them without eroding the pipeline underneath.

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. The concrete mat solution will provide a long term continuous system of hard armor protection for the entire length of the pipeline from high bank to high bank. Our dynamic design allows the mat to conform to any pipeline and maintain its stability on the seabed. These pads were developed to protect thin filmed epoxy coated pipelines from contacting our concrete mats.
