NO MOLDS, NO MIXING, QUICK AND EASY TO INSTALL
Imagine being able to use concrete on slopes, in water, and in other hard to reach locations - with no forms, no mixing and minimal equipment. Concrete Canvas geosynthetic cementitious composite mat (GCCM) is a flexible fabric that will bend and curve, enabling it to follow the natural contours of the land including ditches and slopes.
THE MATERIAL CAN’T BE OVERHYDRATED, SO IT CAN BE INSTALLED IN THE RAIN OR UNDER WATER, EVEN SALT WATER.
And, because it comes in a variety of sizes, including rolls small enough for two men to carry, it reduces the need for heavy machinery. An ideal alternative to rip-rap, shotcrete and poured concrete, Concrete Canvas GCCM can be used in any place that needs protection from erosion or wear, and can be used to channel or contain water or other liquids.
What is CC?
CC is available in 3 thicknesses
CC5™, CC8™ and CC13™
which are respectively 5, 8 and 13mm thick
CC consists of a 3-dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry concrete mix. A PVC backing on one surface of the CC ensures the material is completely water proof. CC can be hydrated by spraying or full immersion in fresh or salt water. Once set, the fibres reinforce the concrete, preventing crack propagation and providing a safe plastic failure mode, to provide a thin, durable, water proof and low-carbon concrete layer.
CC USER BENEFITS
RAPID INSTALLATION
CC can be laid at a rate of 200m²/hour, up to 10 times faster than conventional concrete solutions.
EASY TO USE
Available in man-portable rolls. CC requires less plant, less personnel and no on-site mixing or measuring. Just add water.
LOWER PROJECT COSTS
The speed and ease of installation mean CC is more cost-effective than conventional concrete, with less logistical burden. For example, a single lorry of CC8 can substitute for thirty-four 17T Mixer Trucks.
ECO-FRIENDLY
CC is a low mass, low carbon technology which uses up to 95% less material than conventional solutions. A single pallet of CC can cover the same area as two 17T mixer trucks for many applications.
CC KEY PROPERTIES
FLEXIBLE
CC has good drape characteristics and will closely follow the ground profile and fit around existing infrastructure. Unset CC can be cut or tailored using basic hand tools.
WATER PROOF
The PVC backing on one surface of the CC ensures that the material has excellent impermeability.
Strong
The fibre reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impact and provides a stable failure mode.
DURABLE
CC is twice as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete, has excellent chemical resistance, good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV.
WHAT IS CC HYDRO?
The product was specifically developed for applications within the Petrochemical and Oil & Gas industries
CCH is available in 5mm and 8mm thicknesses:
CCH5™ and CCH8™ respectively
CC Hydro™ (CCH) combines the concrete filled geotextile technology of Concrete Canvas® with a highly impermeable, chemically resistant geomembrane liner.
The liner incorporates a hi-visibility welding strip which allows joints to be thermally welded with a double-track or triple-track air channel for on-site testing. The product was specifically developed for applications within the Petrochemical and Oil & Gas industries.
It’s ability to be installed quickly
while the availability of man-portable rolls allows for installation in areas with reduced access
Compared to poured or sprayed concrete,
Concrete Canvas is a cost-effective alternative for many applications
These include:
CULVERT LINING
WEED SUPPRESSION
GABIONS
OTHER APPLICATIONS (pipe protection, mining vent walls, tunnel lining, and cable protection etc)
CHANNEL LINING
SLOPE PROTECTION
BUND LINING
CONCRETE REMEDIATION
