Concrete Pipeline Mats

These pads were developed to protect thin filmed epoxy coated pipelines from contacting our concrete mats.

Concrete pipeline mats.

Submar erosion control mats are used to protect onshore pipelines from erosion. Waskey articulating concrete mats are a dynamic system comprised of concrete cells interlinked with 400 feet of extruded copolymer rope. 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. Since submar introduced the precast concrete mat technology sand cement bag pipeline crossings have become almost obsolete.

Our dynamic design allows the mat to conform to any pipeline and maintain its stability on the seabed. Articulating concrete mats acm provide the best solution for covering and securing exposed pipelines. 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.

The flexible concrete structures are placed over the underground pipeline allowing water to flow over them without eroding the pipeline underneath. These revetment mats can also be used to reinforce embankments protect shorelines and restore wetlands. 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. 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.
