UltraFlex™ Articulating Concrete Block Mats
UltraFlex Articulating Concrete Block Mats are the long-term proven solution to traditional alternatives such as rock riprap, gabions, structural concrete, grout mats, and other hard armor erosion protection systems. UltraFlex Mats are easy to install; therefore, they reduce construction time and costs on your project. Submar Synergy happens when our products compliment nature.

UltraFlex blocks consist of individual concrete blocks that are cabled together into site and job specific mats, which provide for easy handling and installation. The thickness and weight of the individual blocks are sized according to the hydraulic conditions of each specific site. When installed on the appropriate geotextile, the permeability of the system allows for hydrostatic relief. When back-filled with topsoil and seed, the end result is a synergy of hard armor protection with nature’s self-mitigating, “green” protection.
Submar - Synergy With Nature
Submar Synergy with Nature is the joining of nature's development with the hard armor strength and performance articulated concrete mats resulting in a visually-pleasing and environmentally-minded site solution. No matter what erosion control problem and other construction obstacles are included in your project, you can be sure Submar has successfully solved them with budgets in mind. Submar's engineered systems are a dynamic state, combining time-tested, articulated concrete mat technology and "green" solutions offering our customers a wide variety of value-added solutions while protecting nature.
The Place-N-Lace™ block installation by Submar is available for projects that have challenging installation requirements limited by large equipment or obstructions.

The ability of UltraFlex to be installed in mat form or by hand is yet another example of the versitility and cost-effective nature of Submar.
