Weed Suppression
Rapid weed control around critical infrastructure such as security fencing
Concrete Canvas® (CC) products are used to provide a robust and durable weed suppression alternative to traditional methods. This is especially true in in areas where access is restricted or where vegetation poses a risk to critical infrastructure. Tested for root-penetration resistance under DD CEN/TS 14416:2005, CC products have proven performance in delivering long-term weed control.
The batched roll format allows rapid installation without heavy plant, making it ideal for use alongside railways, highways, utility corridors and pipe tracks. In Oil & Gas and utility environments, CC products also helps mitigate corrosion risks and ensures clear visibility for leak detection, offering a reliable, low-maintenance solution for vegetation management.

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
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 drainage channels, providing slope protection, weed suppression, culvert repair and general concrete remediation.
