How the ECM-70 Can Boost Your Performance
Operational & Cost Efficiency
The ECM-70 is engineered to reduce project costs via logistics, reliability and rapid installation.
- Reduce logistics costs: load more mats per truck, increase usable coverage per container vs HDPE
- Rapid Connection: patented 4-way steel to steel quick-lock connectors reduce install time
- Streamlined Deployment: Dedicated lifting points, NO DUNNAGE REQUIRED between mats.
- Repairable On-site: Modular design replace damaged pieces without full mat removal
- High load capacity: 10,611 kN/m² ensures surface stability for heavy projects
Sustainable Matting
The ECM-70 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-70 delivers over 15 years of service, making it the ideal solution for companies seeking long-term, low-impact site access with verified ESG performance.
