Traditional solutions such as sprayed bitumen and concrete are becoming increasingly prohibited by environmental agencies due to their adverse effects of local ecologies. CC’s low alkaline reserve, washout rate and embodied carbon mean it can be safely installed in live water courses without adverse effects.
Unlike expensive pre-formed GRP sections, heavy pre-cast concrete sections or pumped concrete solutions, CC can be supplied in man-portable batched rolls which do not require plant equipment or specialist contractors for installation. CC’s BBA certification means it has a design life of up to 120 years, greatly increasing the operational life and reducing life cycle costs of existing assets.
