Concrete Pipeline Mats

Waskey articulating concrete mats are a dynamic system comprised of concrete cells interlinked with 400 feet of extruded copolymer rope.

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. 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. Since submar introduced the precast concrete mat technology sand cement bag pipeline crossings have become almost obsolete. Submar provides submar mats articulated concrete revetment mats for use in the most volatile and erosive environments.

The pads are 7 1 2 x 7 1 2 square and are made of heavy duty 3 8 p v c. Articulating concrete mats acm provide the best solution for covering and securing exposed pipelines. 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 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. These pads were developed to protect thin filmed epoxy coated pipelines from contacting our concrete mats. Before that operators in the gulf used very inefficient sand cement bags for pipeline crossings. Our dynamic design allows the mat to conform to any pipeline and maintain its stability on the seabed.
