Background
United Living Energy, design, build, and maintain critical national infrastructure on behalf of UK energy transmission and distribution network owners, ensuring continued resilience of our energy system. With a key focus on decarbonisation, we’re here to support our clients such as Cadent and BP, with the transition to net zero. We’re proud to work with the UK’s major gas transmission owner operators, to provide a complete turnkey service for pipeline infrastructure and associated above ground network assets.
- Our in-house specialisms include:
- Installation of cross-country pipelines
- Fabrication of pipework
- Engineering design
- Major capital project management
Across our project sites, the current bog mats that are used are created out of timber, which although being an effective and robust solution can be wasteful across large projects. Therefore, United Living are seeking alternative solutions for the current timber bog mats being used.
Challenge
United Living is seeking innovative solutions or alternative materials to be used as bog mats that are modular, lightweight, and durable.
Solution must haves:
- Easy assembly, ideally modular design
- Strong material- must withstand point loading from cranes and other machinery
- Suitable surface for vehicles and foot traffic in all weather conditions
- Lightweight- (10-20kg range)
- Edge protection at every edge of the bogmat
- Reusable (minimum of two deployments)
Nice to haves:
- Stackable
- Easy to clean
- Easy to handle (by hand and machine)
Not of interest:
- Single use plastics
