Case studies
Bamboo mats in the field
8 deployments across oil and gas, pipeline construction, marine stabilization and heavy civil, from 1-million-pound walking rigs in Texas to jungle access in Colombia.
Indonesia: Marine Stabilization
IndonesiaMarineFrom drydocks to remote construction sites, Crocodile Products bamboo mats perform across industries. In Indonesia, our mats stabilized ground for marine equipment weighing over 800,000 kg (1.5 million lbs). Built for drydocks, equipment stabilization, transportation protection, and heavy-load access. They hold where other products fail.
Mixed Hardwood Mats
GlobalConstructionThe weight and movement of heavy machinery can take a toll on the grounds of a construction site. Our mixed wood/hardwood mats with Eucalyptus and Acacia are the answer for any mobilization site.
Lasso Drilling: Walking Rigs
Texas, USAOil & GasFor the walking oil rigs in Texas, Lasso Drilling has been using our bamboo access mats for years. The walking rigs weigh in at over 1 million pounds and have proven time after time to be the answer for these monster rigs.
Colombia: Jungle Access
Colombia, South AmericaOil & GasAn overhead view of our mats being used in the jungle areas of Colombia. When Eco-Petrol needed a solution for the marshy area in the deep jungles of South America, bamboo was the proven answer.
TC Energy: The Golden Highway
Northern Alberta, CanadaPipelineTemporary roads for heavy equipment providing access into the TC Energy pipelines, still in use after 7 years with no mats being replaced. This project in Northern Alberta, Canada has been nicknamed "The Golden Highway."
Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX)
Alberta to British Columbia, CanadaPipelineThe Trans Mountain Pipeline route runs from Alberta to British Columbia, crossing mountainous terrain, dense forests, and hundreds of rivers and streams. The Crocodile bamboo access mats were used in multiple locations along the pipeline where conditions were at their most difficult. When the area looked impossible, bamboo was the choice.
MTS: UK Wetland Access
United KingdomConstructionIn the boggy and wet conditions in the United Kingdom, the obvious choice for MTS was the bamboo access mats. Using excavators going back and forth, spinning and turning on their tracks was not an issue for the bamboo. MTS contractors put it plainly: "seeing is believing."
Taiwan Offshore Wind Farm
TaiwanRenewable EnergyØrsted, the largest energy company in Denmark, completed one of the largest offshore wind projects in Asia and a key part of Taiwan's renewable energy strategy. Crocodile bamboo crane mats were used to support the infrastructure throughout the project.
