Submar
Revetment Mats are an articulating concrete mat used
primarily for pipeline protection, erosion control, and
shoreline stabilization. This 6,200 lbs. mat is 4½"
thick and has a low hydraulic profile when placed in a
streambed. Pipeline companies prefer Submar mats over
their pipelines for several reasons. The mats can be
removed and replaced after required pipeline
maintenance. If the stream undergoes significant
changes, the mats can be repositioned to compensate for
changing flow patterns. The mat has open areas that
allow re-vegetation through the mat. The design for
matted areas includes a rapid return to a natural
appearance. We attempt to "blend in" with the natural
riparian corridors. Our designs have created wildlife
habitat and increase diversity in streams where mats
were installed.
