How the ECM-30 Can Boost Your Performance
Operational & Cost Efficiency
The ECM-30 is engineered to reduce project costs via logistics, reliability and installation speed.
- Reduce logistics costs through more usable coverage per container than HDPE
- Rapid Connection, only 1 x 4-way steel quick-lock connector per mat
- Streamlined Deployment, with dedicated lifting points, don’t truck dunnage
- Repairable On-site, the modular design facilitates easy individual beam replacement
- High load capacity: 4,468 kN/m² ensures premium stability for your working platform.
Sustainable Matting
The ECM-30 is manufactured from Flex Weave Bamboo, our process uses bamboo from certified plantations, our manufacturing process achieves superior strength and resilience.
- Harvested from sustainably sourced bamboo plantations
- Resistant to rot, termites and weathering
- Recyclable at end-of-life, chipped and reused as organic soil mulch
- Carbon-efficient, lower emissions than timber, HDPE matting, or concrete alternatives
- Resistant to fire, does not burn.
With proper maintenance, the ECM-30 delivers over 15 years of service, making it the ideal solution for companies seeking long-term, low-impact site access with verified ESG performance.
