Augmented Reality Sandbox
The Submar team was proud to present an augmented reality (AR) sandbox at a Supplier Showcase in 2018. We showed an elevation color map, topographic contour lines, and simulated water to demonstrate how our products, including the Submar articulating concrete revetment mattresses, and services, like streambank stabilization, protect exposed pipelines.

Protecting Offshore Pipelines
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. The scientists are concluding that the seafloor should be considered

The Effects of Erosion on Our Ecosystems
Maintaining habitats is crucial to protecting native wildlife. Submar’s articulating concrete revetment mats allow vegetation and increase biodiversity while protecting oil and gas assets. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the coastlines of the United States lose one to four feet every year because of erosion. This also translates into economic costs and the

Can Landslides Harm Pipelines?
Landslides are a constant threat to many pipeline sites. Landslides, mudflows, earth slumps, rockfalls, and other types of slope failures threaten job sites in many terrains, not just hills or mountains. They can be fast or slow, wet or dry, small or large, shallow or deep, and reactivated or new. Because of the long, linear

The Dangers of Exposed Pipelines and How to Prevent Them
The U.S. has over 2.5 million miles of pipelines crisscrossing the country. As existing lines grow older, critics warn that the risk of accidents could increase. Many pipelines transport petroleum products and natural gas. Some pipelines transport other hazardous products such as chemicals, highly volatile liquids, anhydrous ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Exposure to these products

Submar’s Articulated Concrete Revetment Mats Help Fight Bank Migration
If you are constructing a pipeline near a river, a stream, or what used to be a waterway, bank migration is an issue. Rivers are dynamic features of the landscape; the riverbed and bank are in constant motion. Removing the natural covering of vegetation can drastically accelerate bank migration. Submar can help to prevent further
