Concrete Pipeline Mats

These revetment mats can also be used to reinforce embankments protect shorelines and restore wetlands.

Concrete pipeline mats.

Submar mats can be supplied with patented non shielding non abrasive pads. 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. The pads are 7 1 2 x 7 1 2 square and are made of heavy duty 3 8 p v c.

In 1990 submar introduced precast concrete mat technology to the gulf of mexico. 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. The flexible concrete structures are placed over the underground pipeline allowing water to flow over them without eroding the pipeline underneath. Submar provides submar mats articulated concrete revetment mats for use in the most volatile and erosive environments.

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. Submar erosion control mats are used to protect onshore pipelines from erosion. Before that operators in the gulf used very inefficient sand cement bags for pipeline crossings. Articulating concrete mats acm provide the best solution for covering and securing exposed pipelines.
