- NMB's Feature Access and Lease Mat
- 8' wide x 14' long and 5" made with 90% premium oak
- mats are carriage bolted to maximize board holding strength, carriage bolted mats allow for mats to be picked in very muddy or frozen conditions without the boards on the bottom layer peeling off
- mats interconnect from end to end using a finger joint system. This system enables matted roadways and leases to distribute surface loads evenly and minimize mat slippage to ensure stable and level surface areas
- 3 ply oak mat is among the strongest most rigid mat in the industry today. Along with the rigidity the oak mat can flex and withstand extremely heavy payloads without breaking
- spaces between boards on top and bottom layer provides no slip surfaces on both sides as well as allowing air to flow into the mat to increase the rate of drying.
- access road along planned pipeline allowed pipeliners to travel and work off of matted road in very wet, soft conditions
- mats laid on lease to allow drilling rig, equipment and crew to work in soft, muddy conditions. Without the use of the oak matting this well couldn't have been drilled until the ground was frozen
