Asset Protection Technology

Bitumen Mattresses

Tekmar's GEO-MAT is a high-performance geotextile liner designed to enhance the performance of concrete mattress systems by providing an additional layer of protection between offshore infrastructure and the seabed. Integrated with standard, articulated and fronded concrete mattresses, GEO-MAT helps reduce abrasion, improve asset separation and support long-term stability in challenging offshore environments.

Enhanced protection and stability for sensitive assets and soft seabed conditions.

Designed for use on soft soils, sensitive coatings and environmentally sensitive seabeds, GEO-MAT distributes loads more effectively, reduces localised pressure points and helps prevent mattress settlement. By improving both asset protection and seabed interaction, GEO-MAT delivers a simple yet effective enhancement to offshore stabilisation and protection systems.

Key Features

  • Provides an additional protective barrier between assets and the seabed
  • Helps reduce abrasion on sensitive coatings, cables and pipelines
  • Improves load distribution and reduces localised pressure points
  • Supports mattress performance on soft and low-bearing-capacity seabeds
  • Compatible with standard, articulated and fronded concrete mattresses
  • Lightweight design with minimal impact on handling and installation
  • Supports environmentally sensitive offshore applications

Applications

GEO-MAT supports a wide range of offshore infrastructure applications, including:

  • Offshore wind cable and foundation protection
  • Pipeline and flowline stabilisation projects
  • Soft seabed and low-bearing-capacity environments
  • Sensitive coated assets requiring additional protection
  • Marine infrastructure and coastal engineering applications

Environmental Benefits

GEO-MAT helps minimise seabed disturbance by creating a protective interface between concrete mattresses and the seabed. Its use can support sediment retention, reduce localised seabed impact and improve performance in environmentally sensitive areas where traditional protection methods may require additional intervention.

Why Choose GEO-MAT?

When used in conjunction with Tekmar’s Concrete Mattress portfolio, GEO-MAT enhances protection, improves stability and extends asset life by reducing abrasion, preventing settlement and supporting reliable long-term offshore performance.

Why Tekmar?

Combining decades of offshore engineering expertise with a comprehensive portfolio of stabilisation and protection technologies, Tekmar delivers integrated solutions designed to safeguard critical offshore infrastructure throughout its operational life.
