The 3B Anti-Theft Matting System is a state-of-the-art subsurface security solution engineered to deliver unparalleled protection for critical infrastructure. As threats to underground assets such as copper wiring, conduit, and fiber optics continue to rise-driven by theft, vandalism, and sabotage3B provides a proven, real-world solution built for resilience and simplicity.
What sets the 3B matting system apart is its ability to form an invisible, impenetrable barrier beneath the surface. Constructed from proprietary composite materials developed through extensive research and testing, it is designed to resist cutting, prying, torching, and even blast pressure. The system serves as a passive deterrent that not only delays intrusion but often prevents it entirely.
Unlike traditional concrete encasement or steel shielding methods, the 3B system installs with minimal disruption and requires no heavy infrastructure. Panels are placed around the perimeter of critical infrastructure-such as substations, data centers, and utility yards-serving as a robust physical barrier to deter digging or burrowing. The system can be installed within hours using hand tools or light equipment and is highly effective in protecting against unauthorized excavation.
An added benefit is its ability to serve as a critter guard, preventing rodents and other wildlife from accessing sensitive cable ducts, grounding grids, or equipment pads. For large or remote sites, material can also be delivered via ready-mix truck and installed using a pump-further reducing labor and time.
The system is modular, scalable, and can be adapted to new builds or retrofits. Whether installed under a transformer, around utility trenches, or along the perimeter of a data facility, 3B matting provides fast, effective, and sustainable protection that helps secure vital operations against modern threats. Its ease of deployment and high-performance materials make it the preferred solution for utility providers, military operations, data centers, and high-value commercial infrastructure across
North America.
