A system for protection of an installation (1) on the floor of a body of water from damage due to erosion, dragging ships' anchors and fishing gear. A flexible mat (16) covering the installation (1) prevents underscouring of the installation. The edges of the mat resting on the floor are so thick and rigid that a dragging anchor (10) or fishing gear hooking the edge will be carried over the installation (1) by the roll (9) of mat formed by the anchor or fishing gear. Elasticity of the mat and/or its edge causes the mat to roll back to resume its original configuration after the passage of the anchor or fishing gear. |
