ROAD

Concrete Canvas^® (CC) has gained market acceptance in the civil engineering sector as a cost-effective alternative to conventional concrete for a wide range of road-side projects including channel and ditch lining for water management and weed suppression.

WHY USE CC FOR ROAD PROJECTS?

CC provides a durable water management and erosion control solution for new and existing road infrastructure projects. The speed of installation minimises traffic disruption, reduces the length of lane possession, and mitigates risks associated with roadside work. CC is BBA certified with a durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.

SOME OF THE PEOPLE WE HAVE WORKED WITH

“The Church Village Bypass scheme presented our team with a unique challenge. The location and nature of the works required the sensitive use of appropriate construction materials in order to minimise the impact on the local environment. Concrete Canvas provided a means of rapidly installing a low carbon concrete ditch whilst maintaining the natural aesthetic of the overall scheme.”

Daniel Powrie - Project Manager, Costain Group

“The original drainage solution provided a huge logistical headache so changing the design to a Concrete Canvas lined ditch saved a lot of time; I was really impressed with the speed and ease of installation.”

Martin Dewsnap - Drainage Foreman, Hochtief (UK) Construction

“I consider CC to be a practical, fast and agile solution, which is easy to install without the need for specialised labour or lane/line possession. Another big advantage is the possibility to install CC on slopes or drainage elements under severe weather conditions. Also the transportation, the finishing and cleaning of the work site and its surrounding area was superior to the alternatives. I would recommend it as a suitable solution for slopes and ditch lining for road and rail projects.”

Gisela Peleira - Infraestruturas de Portugal, SA

“For me it was impressive – the hardness obtained by a thin layer of 5mm and in such a [short] time. I also like the more natural and organic look of CC against the shotcrete. It´s super-fast! Nowadays the companies are always on top of cost savings, and with the shotcrete solution [it would have been] much greater in terms of logistics and time. It´s super easy!”

Mr. Macedo - Project Manager, Mota-Engil

“We were pleased with the speed of installation of Concrete Canvas, particularly given the ground conditions. We have since used Concrete Canvas on other projects to provide a fast, effective ditch lining solution and will certainly advise our clients to use in future.”

Richard Bardin - Contract Manager, Carnell

“The simplicity in application; the industrialization of the application process; the speed on installation; the non-risk of over hydrating the concrete; the low safety risks associated; the easiness on the material transportation; and finally, the reduced industrial waste resulting from the application.”

Carlos Costa - Lead Engineer, Rodio Portugal SA
