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

Dewatering is a significant component of constructing shallow-water pipelines and is incredibly important for many of today’s pipeline projects. It seems like the construction of shallow water pipelines is increasing, with more and more lines running through areas like river crossings and streambeds.
