Slope Protection
Surface erosion control to ensure long term slope protection
Concrete Canvas® (CC) products can be laid up to 10-times faster than conventional concrete solutions, reducing time on site and asset closures. Unlike traditional methods, CC products generate no rebound, reduces the need for line or lane possession and can be installed around sensitive infrastructure. CC products are typically five-times as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete, have excellent chemical resistance, good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV. CC products provide excellent weed suppression, reducing maintenance, life cycle costs and Occupational Health & Safety risks.

User Benefits
Rapid Installation
CC can be laid at up to 200m²/hour, 10 times faster than traditional concrete.
Easy To Use
Requires less plant, fewer personnel and no on-site mixing or measuring — Just Add Water™.
Lower Project Costs
Faster installation and reduced logistics can make CC more cost-effective than conventional methods.
Lower Carbon
Uses up to 95% less material than concrete, cutting carbon and reducing transport needs.
FAQs
Concrete Canvas® (CC) is the original Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat (GCCM) and the first product to declare conformance to ASTM D8364 ‘Standard Specification for GCCMs’. CC is a flexible, concrete filled geotextile that hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable and waterproof concrete layer. Essentially, it can be described as Concrete on a Roll® and is used for a wide variety of applications including the rapid lining of slopes to provide surface erosion protection and weed suppression.
Note that CC will provide surface protection from external erosive forces such as from wind and rainfall.
It should be noted that CC replaces conventional concrete for erosion control applications. CC shall not be used to provide a stabilisation/ retention function.
