When in need of a solution for channel lining and ditch lining, engineers and contractors worldwide are increasingly turning to Concrete Canvas® (CC). With installation times typically 10x faster than traditional concrete lining methods, CC can be installed at rates of up to 2150ft²/hour.
CC is a rapidly installed concrete alternative. CC lined channels prevent weed growth, silt generation and erosion, reducing maintenance requirements and costs. CC is 5 times as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete, has excellent chemical resistance, good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV. Available in portable Batched Rolls, CC can be installed for applications with limited access and comes ready to use – no mixing, measuring or compacting required. CC is BBA certified with a durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.
Prepare the substrate so that surfaces are well compacted, geotechnically stable with a smooth, uniform surface.
It is important to prevent water and wind ingress between the CC and the substrate, both around the perimeter of the installation and along the joints.
It is important to ensure that the CC is jointed at every overlap between layers and that those layers are fixed to the surface.
It is important to properly hydrate CC, using enough water for the quantity of material used and allowing for drying conditions.
