We are busy casting mats in preparation for the upcoming sinking season along the Mississippi River. Mat sinking operations play a vital role in helping keep the river stable and reliable for the millions of people and industries that depend on it every day.
Using our Mat Sinking Unit, crews place articulated concrete mats along vulnerable riverbanks to help prevent erosion, protect levees and navigation channels, and reduce the risk of bank failures, keeping communities safe and commerce moving.
