Reducing water losses in irrigation canals

Concrete Canvas® products are widely used for lining of Irrigation canals to reduce seepage losses whilst improving flow efficiency. With proven results in markets including USA, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Malaysia, France, Spain, South Africa and across Central Asia, CC products are rapidly replacing conventional concrete. CC products are also being used for relining lagoons, silage ponds and fisheries infrastructure. With rapid installation and minimal equipment needs, CC products enable efficient, time-critical remediation across agricultural environments.

The fibrous material can be latched onto by the lamprey when they are resting on their ascent of the channel and its innate flexibility provides an organic and naturalistic visual appearance, enhanced by how quickly the material has allowed mosses and in-channel plants to become established. The use of this material and this methodology at this site was a trial undertaken by our Fisheries and Project teams, but one which quickly realised positive results… and we are looking for opportunities to replicate this approach at other suitable sites.
