GEO-MAT and anti-abrasion solutions
Concrete Mattresses and structures can be fitted with commercial rubber or Neoprene pads. The rubber is used in circumstances where extra non-abrasive protection is required.
Where abrasion or soil migration is a concern, Pipeshield have a number of products to suit that can be fitted with a GEO-MAT, Neoprene or Commercial Rubbers and geotextiles.
GEO-MAT
The GEO-MAT geotextile mattress has been designed to provide extra benefits to those obtained from a normal concrete mattress. The highly durable, needle punch non-woven layer can be used as a preventative measure to avoid sinking in soft sea or river bed conditions or used as an anti-abrasive layer to provide a barrier between the concrete mattress and the asset.
A standard GEO-MAT comes in an oversized 6m x 3m size designed to be installed with our standard range of mattresses, although bespoke sizes and specifications are also available.
With easy fixing points at all loops, the pre-fixed Geo-Mat enables a single process installation of both concrete mattress and protective layer. The GEO-MAT can be fitted to the top, bottom or both sides of the concrete mattress.
Anti-Abrasive Concrete Solutions
Concrete Mattresses and structures can be fitted with commercial rubber or Neoprene pads. The rubber is used in circumstances where extra non-abrasive protection is required.
Available in various thickness. The rubber can be fixed to one or both side of the concrete face
