Carbon-neutral scour and impact protection for your cables and pipelines
MARINE MATTS
MARINE MATTSOur Marine Matts are built to protect key intertidal and subsea cables and pipelines, whilst enhancing marine ecosystems, reducing marine plastics, and lowering CO2 emissions. Developed using nature-inclusive design (NID) principles, the Marine Matt meets robust offshore construction requirements, helping your development to leave a positive marine legacy alongside reduced capital and operating costs.
From scour prevention to sediment stabilisation, our Marine Matts are scientifically developed to create minimal impact to the seabed and surrounding habitats, whilst providing reliable and hard-wearing protection to your infrastructure.
See Marine Matts in action
See our Marine Matts in action as they’re deployed to protect subsea cables at the MeyGen tidal array, providing a sustainable, biodiversity-enhancing solution that supports marine life while reducing environmental impact. This trial shines a light on the power of Nature Inclusive Design in action, revolutionising subsea protective infrastructure with a carbon-neutral, plastic-free alternative to conventional concrete mattresses.

Testimonials
“Kier have been very satisfied and pleased with ARC Marine throughout the preconstruction and construction stages of the Newlyn Tidal R&D project. ARC Marine have fabricated and delivered exceptional Intertidal reef cube® ECO armour units for the project where all parties, including Kier, the Environment Agency and Atkins, have been very impressed with the quality of finish of the units. Overall a very exceptional service from ARC Marine and would highly recommend.”
“reef cubes® is a unique product that could reach a massive global market. Marine-i has been proud to help ARC Marine develop and test their amazing new approach to marine conservation and in particular, its application to marine renewable energy. Their pioneering products have the potential to improve the health of our oceans for generations to come.”
"ARC Marine are providing 25% of the reef blocks for the Newlyn project. Their blocks offer multi-functional benefits, such as biodiversity enhancing design and low-carbon fabrication. The development of viable alternatives to carbon intensive and non-sustainable solutions such as reinforced concrete, or quarried rock, is hugely important in order to meet the EA’s organisational targets to achieve net zero by 2030. More broadly, decarbonisation of the coastal and subsea infrastructure industry will also provide an important contribution to wider UK pledges on climate change."
“The idea of a carbon-neutral reef cube® that can be used to help rehabilitate reef ecosystems is exciting – we really need to do everything we can to give coral reefs a break”
