Composite Mat Locking System Development & S7 Pin Redesign
Lightweight composite mats could slide apart under traffic. The locking system, and a later S7 pin redesign, had to make the roadway behave as one unit.
Case Studies
Thermal Humpback Diagnosis & Structural Correction
Installed mats humped in the afternoon heat and curled overnight. The cause was differential thermal expansion, not ordinary molding warpage.
Grip-Enhancing Surface Compound Development
Almost immediately after commercial production began, customers reported that the new composite mat was too slippery for foot traffic.
Development of a Structural Composite Access Mat
Traditional timber access mats performed the job, but they rotted. The objective was a reusable composite mat that would resist rot and match wood in the field.
Extruded Tee Manufacturing Process Recovery
Turn an unpredictable hot-forming process into repeatable commercial production of extruded pipeline outlets and split tees.
Composite Mat Manufacturing Process Recovery
A U.S. manufacturer of heavy-duty composite access mats was losing production to dimensional distortion. The recovery corrected the molding process instead of machining the symptom.
