PERMEABLE STABILISATION FOR ROADS, DRIVEWAYS AND WATER CROSSINGS
12 Aug 2021
Australian Concrete Mats provide a stable driving surface for a variety of applications.
When you’re a land manager or owner, the last thing you need is to get your vehicle or machinery stuck in a boggy track or washed-out driveway. Access roads and tracks can erode significantly in heavy rains and quickly become impassable or unsafe.
Australian Concrete Mats’ products provide a stable and permeable driving surface for access roads, boat ramps, low water creek crossings, causeways and parking areas.
Their concrete mats are used by Farmers, Energy companies, National Parks and State Forestry for low water access crossings, causeways and service and maintenance crossings.
There are 2 products manufactured for this purpose;
1. Flexible Concrete Mats
2. Articulated Concrete Cable Block mats
Flexible Concrete Mats are made from textured concrete shapes which are embedded and connected with a high strength polyester geogrid. They are supplied in rolls which makes them very quick and easy to handle and install.
Articulated concrete Cable Block Mats are made from 40Mpa concrete blocks which are interconnected and articulated using steel cable or marine rope. The block mats are easy to interconnect and create a stable, hard armour mattress protection and surface.
Both mats are extremely durable and able to withstand the weight of vehicle traffic.
The mats can be used as a vegetated driving surface or infilled with crushed stone. The space between the blocks allows for infiltration of storm water.
The blocks provide a stable, non-slippery surface that provides traction when walking or driving across. This is also beneficial for applications such as boat ramps where a safe walking surface is needed.
Some examples of the mats being used successfully as a permeable driveable surface are pictured.
Made in Australia for Australians, Australian Concrete Mats supply farmers, land managers, civil contractors, local councils, the resource sector and big and small mine and energy projects.
Concrete mats are an all-round, cost effective, time efficient and environmentally friendly solution to create a permeable, reliable hard armour protection.
