SUBMAT: The Facts

The proven solution for littoral mobility and mission success.

What is SUBMAT?

Submersible Matting Systems (SUBMAT) are patented geotextile mattresses filled with beach sand from their installation location. They feature a three-dimensional polypropylene geotextile topping that acts as a durable wearing surface. Installed entirely by hand, SUBMAT requires no heavy equipment—just one to two portable trash pumps to move sand slurry into its tubing. The water escapes through the geotextile, leaving sand trapped inside, forming a hard, concrete-like surface ready for operations.

The SUBMAT system delivers rapid, reliable, and scalable littoral access—empowering small teams to achieve large-scale operational capabilities anywhere in the world.
