Concrete Canvas

Concrete Canvas® is used for a wide range of erosion control and weed suppression applications. It allows concrete construction with minimal plant and specialist training.
Typically ten-times faster to install than conventional solutions, essentially its Concrete on a Roll™: simply unroll and Just Add Water.

WHAT IS CC?

CC consists of a 3-dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry cementitious mix. A PVC backing ensures the CC is completely waterproof. CC can be hydrated by spraying or full immersion in fresh or salt water. Once set, the fibres reinforce the cementitious mix, preventing crack propagation and providing a safe plastic failure mode. As a result, CC provides a thin, durable, water proof and lower carbon alternative to traditional concrete.

CC is available in 3 thicknesses: CC5™, CC8™ and CC13™, which are respectively 5, 8 and 13mm thick.

Enquire about Concrete Canvas

Durable and sustainable solution

Concrete Canvas was developed with longevity and a guarantee of lasting for more than 120 years as an erosion control application. Its strength makes it five times more abrasion resistant than standard concrete, and it withstands all weather conditions and increases soil stability.

Flexible for your project

Concrete Canvas can be tailored to fit the size of the ground profile by using basic hand tools.

Prevents cracking

With a three-dimensional fibre matrix, the strong fibre reinforcement of Concrete Canvas absorbs any impact affecting infrastructure, which prevents cracking and makes it completely safe.

Completely waterproof

Concrete Canvas has a PVC backing that provides a waterproof alternative to traditional concrete, making your infrastructure weather-resistant too.

Environmental benefits of using Concrete Canvas

Planning for erosion is essential for many construction activities. Not only does Concrete Canvas prevents and manages erosion, but it also:

  • Protects the environment
  • Prevents soil erosion
  • Preserves water quality
  • Reduces pollution
  • Minimises impact from water and weather damage

What sectors benefit from Concrete Canvas erosion control applications? 

There’s a reason why Concrete Canvas is used across a variety of sectors for its high-quality and durable erosion applications. Our unique properties and environmental benefits have established Concrete Canvas as a first-choice erosion control solution in many construction projects, including rail, road, public works and more.

Concrete Canvas is BBA certified with durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.

Why choose Concrete Canvas for erosion control?

Quick to install

Concrete Canvas can be laid up to 10 times faster than most concrete solutions, making it ideal for projects that require an erosion control application installed quickly.

Easy to use

Concrete Canvas erosion application is easy to use and doesn’t require heavy machinery to install it, only water. Concrete Canvas is also available in man-portable batched rolls for easy transportation.

Cost-effective

The quick and easy installation process makes Concrete Canvas a more cost-effective solution and logistical erosion control solution than conventional concrete.

Eco-friendly

Concrete Canvas uses up to 95% less material than other erosion control applications. A single pallet of Concrete Canvas can cover the same area as two 17T mixer trucks, making it an eco-friendly alternative that produces minimal waste.

What our clients say

Concrete Canvas is one of the most trusted erosion control measures in the world that’s used to control erosion and improve the quality of the landscape in several industries.

CC USER BENEFITS

benefits icons Rapid Install

RAPID INSTALLATION

CC can be laid at a rate of 200m²/hour, up to 10 times faster than conventional concrete solutions.

benefits icons Easy to Use

EASY TO USE

CC requires less plant, less personnel and no on-site mixing or measuring. Just add water. Available in man-portable batched rolls.

benefits icons Lower Project Costs

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 17T Mixer Trucks.

benefits icons Eco friendly

ECO-FRIENDLY

CC is a low mass, lower 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

STRONG

The fibre reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impact and provides a stable failure mode.

DURABLE

CC is five-times as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete, has excellent chemical resistance, good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV. CC is BBA certified with a durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.

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.

WATERPROOF

The PVC backing ensures the CC is completely waterproof.
