Protecting Pipelines and Avoiding Interference
While you may think that corrosion is one of the biggest risks that marine pipelines face, anchor and net damage actually account for more risk in deeper waters, and vessel collisions account for still more in shallower areas. There is no sensor technology currently available to help find where pipelines are at a distance. Even

OSHA Standards and Guidelines for the Oil and Pipeline Industry
In the oil and gas pipeline industry, there is nothing more important than ensuring the safety of the products, equipment, and employees. Submar’s philosophy is simple: if a job cannot be done safely, it should not be done at all.

What to Expect with Silt Fencing
For several decades, silt fences have controlled surface erosion and sediment in streams. Submar often uses these during construction to allow water to flow without moving sediment.

Hurricane Harvey Cleanup Progress
After Hurricane Harvey ravaged Texas in 2017, areas containing carcinogenic waste in the San Jacinto River required multi-million-dollar clean-ups. A few sites have reached significant milestones and have been removed from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) priority cleanup list, including the San Jacinto River Waste Pits located in Houston, Texas.

Combating the Effects of Offshore Erosion
Recently, scientists have begun discovering that the seafloor is eroding in much the same way as the land loss now occurring on the coast of Louisiana. This can mean a detrimental loss in the wake of powerful waves, hurricanes, and flooding to the offshore and inland infrastructure.

Submar is the leader in pipeline erosion control for the oil and gas pipeline industry. Pipelines are at risk of pipeline exposure caused by wind and water erosion. Pipelines, like the ones featured here, are exposed over time by seasonal flooding and wind erosion. To address these challenges, Submar employs proven pipeline exposure remediation techniques,

What is the Overall Impact of Water Erosion?
Water erosion, or loss of soil due to water, can occur due to splashes of rain (“rainsplash”) or rill and gully erosion.

Post-Construction Site Monitoring
In 2017, Submar installed a special system of articulating concrete revetment mattresses in New Mexico: Armadune mats, which are designed to work in desert environments. The mats’ tapered cells help collect sediment while the excelsior matrix collects moisture and allows root system development. Tate Salas, our Southwest Regional Sales Manager, is conducting a post-construction site assessment
