FiberCore (Rotterdam, Netherlands) and Canadian Mat Systems Inc. (Edmonton, Alberta) announce the signing of a license agreement to collaborate in the evolution of a world class fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite mat using the patented InfraCore Inside technology. Through this agreement, and in line with its corporate strategy, Canadian Mat Systems Inc. expects to deliver an innovative temporary foundation matting solution (temporary roads) which exceeds both operational and technological requirements to local and international clients.
The new mat will be manufactured in Canada and deliver measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions during its operational lifecycle. It will provide best in class solutions to a wide range of industry sectors including oil & gas exploration, pipeline, utilities, forestry, emergency /disaster response and remote temporary facilities.
The InfraCore Inside technology has been proven in more than 1,000 (heavy traffic) bridges and lock gates worldwide. FiberCore is now developing and marketing new cross-sector product-market combinations based on this technology in collaboration with strategic partners all over the world, such as Canadian Mat Systems Inc.
The combination of proven InfraCore Inside technology with Canadian Mat Systems’ extensive knowledge of the global temporary foundation market delivers a unique combination of expertise and technologies to provide solutions for challenging applications.
