Environmentally resistant encapsulated mat construction
An industrial mat that includes a core construction that provides strength and rigidity to the mat, with the core construction including various layers or plies of components at least some of which are typically made of wood or engineered wood; and a durable skin that surrounds and encapsulates at least the wood components of the mat or the entire core construction. The skin has a thickness sufficient to provide environmental resistance to the wood components or to the core construction to which it is applied. The skin also provides abrasion resistance to the boards and mat.
A mat having a core that provides strength and rigidity to the mat, and including a structure of a sheet, elongated members, a frame, compartments, or combinations thereof and at least one outer layer associated with the core and made of a sheet, elongated members or combinations thereof. The core and outer layer(s) are integral or are joined together, and the structure of the core is made of one or more environmentally resistant materials to provide an extended service life when encountering rain, snow or other weather conditions that would eventually degrade wood. The mat has a load bearing capacity that is able to withstand a load of at least 500 to 800 psi or even 1000 psi without permanently deforming the core. Bumpers are preferably provided upon sides of the mat to protect them from damage due to transport or installation of the mat.
An industrial mat that includes a core construction that provides strength and rigidity to the mat, with the core construction including plural layers or plies of components at least some of which are of wood or engineered wood; and a durable skin that surrounds and encapsulates at least the wood components of the mat or the entire core construction. The skin has a thickness sufficient to provide environmental resistance to the wood components or to the core construction to which it is applied. The skin also provides abrasion resistance to the boards and mat.

A laminated one-ply support mat comprised of a plurality of individual wood laminations that includes means for transferring load and interlocking with an adjacent one-ply support mat. The laminated one-ply support mat may be suitable for the construction of temporary roads, flooring, or platforms to support heavy equipment. The laminated one-ply support mat may include a non-laminated member fastened to each side to prevent damage to the edge of the laminated support mat. The laminated one-ply support may be comprised of a plurality of individual wood laminations fastened together by a plurality of nuts and bolts allowing the support mat to be disassembled and repair in the field.
