AFTER: We helped a big construction company re-home 3,500’ of 24” dia from a tear out and replacement project at Pearl Harbor Military Base in Hawaii.

 

BEFORE: “We’re removing 3,500’ of 24” dia x 38’ FPVC pipe that has only been in the ground since 2018. The pipe transported only fresh water and it was inside a steel casing. It is in very good condition as you can imagine. Can you find a home for this? It would be a shame to grind this all up for recycling.” – C Daniel

 

Q: Like Daniel, do you have used materials still in good condition that it would be a shame to send to recycling to chip, shred, grind, melt?

Q: How can this Military-Grade Diamond Matting be “repurposed”?

backSTORY: Originally made for the U.S. Department of Defense, this Type III Electrical Switchboard Matting meets strict military standards. Its diamond-tread design offers slip resistance and electrical insulation, while the dense, flame-retardant rubber resists oil, abrasion, and aging.
