Asset Protection Technology

Bitumen Mattresses

Tekmar’s Bitumen Mattresses provide a durable, flexible and cushioned alternative to traditional concrete protection systems. Designed for applications where asset sensitivity, coating protection or seabed conditions require a softer interface, Bitumen Mattresses help protect subsea cables, pipelines and structures from impact, abrasion and mechanical stress while supporting long-term asset integrity.

A proven solution for asset protection, separation and stabilisation where a softer interface is required.

Constructed using robust marine-grade materials and designed to conform to uneven seabed conditions, Bitumen Mattresses deliver effective protection, separation and stabilisation across a wide range of offshore applications. Lightweight and easy to deploy, they are commonly used alongside concrete mattresses, grout bags and other protection systems as part of an integrated subsea asset protection strategy.
