Systems and methods which provide improved pipeline mats are provided herein. Such mats may include one or more of a plurality of the inventive features. For example, some embodiments provide for replaceable top surfaces which allow for portions of the mat to be replaced if in need of repairs, e.g. after excessive wear and tear, rotting, and the like. Further, embodiments may include a built-in air wick channel which allows for airflow to travel between stacked mats, thereby reducing the potential for a mat to rot. Some embodiments may also include a structure which allows for the mat to be moved using a forklift. Such structure may include grouser strips which help direct the forklift while also protecting the top surface from wear. Additionally, such structure may include built-in chocks disposed on the lower surface of the mat. These chocks may also facilitate the air wick channel. |
