Innovations in Energy

Transformative Solutions
Through its patented design, sealed construction and material composition, DURA-BASE has proven invaluable in diverse applications across numerous industries, including environmentally sensitive areas and extreme environments.
Use of Smart Technologies
The Newpark Mats & Integrated Services state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Louisiana was engineered to utilize a closed loop system for all operations requiring water. This practice allows the plant to operate generating nearly no net waste water.
Operational Safety
Newpark believes safety is central to everything they do. Protecting each other like family while sustaining the environment in which they work.
Eco-Friendly Solutions
Newpark is the only composite mat manufacturer with a fully developed recycling program, minimizing the toll taken on our natural resources. Unlike wood alternatives, the use of HDPE as the backbone of DURA-BASE mats eliminates the need to harvest timber as a raw material, along with associated destruction of natural habitats. 

Protecting the Environment

Newpark access products and services allow the utilities to traverse land without harming the environment.  For example, they can provide access through farmland and when the product is removed, little to no intervention is required during restoration.

 

DURA-BASE mats are up to three times lighter than alternative solutions, requiring fewer trucks to transport the same usable surface area, thereby saving CO2 emissions with every load eliminated. 23.5 thousand tons of CO2 has been saved trailing twelve months through transportation using DURA-BASE when compared to trucking usage of wood alternatives. Also, over time wood mats can retain moisture, which increases their weight and decreases the number mats per load, requiring even more trucks and increased overall transportation costs.

 

In addition to CO2 emissions saved, the reduced volume of trucks required when transporting DURA-BASE has avoided over 13 million miles driven trailing twelve months. Less trucks on the road and miles driven mean safer conditions and less nuisance for the community as a whole.

How Newpark Uses New Tech for Efficiency

The Durabase mat is 100% recyclable, so once at the end of its life, it can be recycled into a new mat with the same product characteristics.  Durabase is lighter than its wood competitors.  It requires fewer trucks to transport, saving significant CO2.
