Pipeline Right-of-Way Matting
Pipeline construction moves a linear spread across every ground condition on the route, so the matting programme has to build temporary road, protect crossings, and support pipe, then be recovered and moved forward.
What this application demands
A spread that never stops moving
Matting on a right-of-way is placed, used and lifted continuously as the spread advances. Handling weight and recovery rate matter more here than on a fixed site.
Wetland and watercourse crossings
Crossings are where ground protection is scrutinised. Mats have to carry the equipment without rutting the approach or leaving material behind in the watercourse.
Keeping coating intact
Pipeline skids hold welded pipe clear of the trench bottom during stringing, welding and coating, so the coating survives to the tie-in.
Mats used for pipeline work
Bamboo Access Mats
An access mat is a portable platform laid over soft or unstable ground to create a temporary road or work surface for heavy equipment, then lifted and reused elsewhere.
View rangeBamboo Road Mats
A road mat is a long-format ground protection panel laid end to end to build a temporary haul road across ground that cannot carry repeated vehicle traffic.
View rangeBamboo Skids, Dunnage & Ship Blocks
Skids and dunnage are the small structural blocks and bearers that hold pipe, cargo or equipment clear of the ground so it can be supported, drained, slung or inspected.

Common questions
What is a pipeline mat?
A pipeline mat is a ground protection panel laid along a right-of-way to carry construction traffic and equipment over ground that cannot take repeated loading, and to protect wetland and watercourse crossings.
What holds the pipe off the ground during construction?
Pipeline skids, short laminated blocks placed under the strung pipe, hold it clear of the trench bottom so the weld and the coating stay accessible and undamaged.
