Submarine Articulated Concrete Blocks: The Ultimate Solution for Erosion Control

When it comes to protecting coastlines, canals, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, underwater pipelines, bridge piers, and other marine structures from erosion, Submar's articulated concrete blocks (ACBs) are the ultimate solution. These innovative products have been tested and proven to provide maximum erosion control while also offering a unique combination of functionality and aesthetics.

The secret behind ACBs lies in their design. The cables remain embedded in the concrete blocks to link them together and facilitate articulation, allowing the blocks to flex with the flow of water and resist erosive forces. This innovative technology has been perfected over three decades of production and installation by Submar, a leading provider of erosion control solutions.

One of the key benefits of ACBs is their ability to be customized to specific applications. Whether it's a revetment exposed to frontal attack by wave action or a need for improved stability and aesthetic appeal, Submar's UltraFlex mats can be designed to meet the unique requirements of each project. The interwoven perimeters between the blocks serve as hinges, allowing them to articulate and flex with the flow of water.

In addition to their functionality, ACBs are also environmentally friendly. Open-cell forms of ACB allow vegetation to be established, improving stability and aesthetic appeal while also promoting a healthy ecosystem. This synergy with nature is just one example of Submar's commitment to sustainable solutions that prioritize both functionality and environmental responsibility.

Submar's articulated concrete block mats have been used in a wide range of applications, from pipeline erosion control to environmental construction for landfill caps, down chutes, and collector channels. With their unique combination of strength, flexibility, and sustainability, ACBs are an ideal solution for any project that requires maximum erosion control and protection.

Whether you're looking to protect a coastline, stabilize a riverbank, or simply improve the aesthetic appeal of your marine structure, Submar's articulated concrete block mats are the perfect choice. With over three decades of experience in producing and installing these innovative products, Submar is dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible solutions for their erosion control needs.
