Concrete Canvas®, CCX® y CC Hydro™.
Lienzo de hormigón
Concrete Canvas® (CC) is part of a revolutionary new class of construction materials called Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (GCCMs). It is a flexible, concrete filled geosynthetic which hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof and lower carbon alternative to conventional concrete. Essentially, it’s Concrete on a Roll™.
Concrete Canvas® is unrolled into position and secured in place. The material is then hydrated. There is a 2-hour working window before setting begins, and in 24 hours the material hardens to service performance specifications.
Concrete Canvas® GCCM (CC) is typically used to replace conventional concrete for a wide range of erosion control and weed suppression applications. Typical examples include channel lining, slope protection, bund lining, remediation works, culvert lining, outfall protection, mining vent walls, gabion covering and pipe protection. Our biggest markets are the Civil Infrastructure (principally road and rail), Mining, Petrochemical and Agricultural sectors.
Concrete Canvas® is manufactured in our UK production plant using bespoke machinery designed by Concrete Canvas Ltd. A 3-dimensional synthetic fibre matrix is filled with a custom cement blend before a PVC coating is added to one side.
Concrete Canvas® is BBA certified with durability in excess of 120 years when used for erosion control applications. For advice on specific climates please contact Concrete Canvas Ltd.
CCX
CCX® is part of a revolutionary new class of construction materials called Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (GCCMs). It is a flexible, concrete filled geosynthetic which hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof and lower carbon alternative to conventional concrete. Essentially, it’s Concrete on a Roll®.
CCX® is unrolled into position and secured in place. The material is then hydrated. There is a 30-minute working window before setting begins, and in 24 hours the material hardens to in-service performance specifications.
CCX® is manufactured in our UK production plant using bespoke machinery designed by Concrete Canvas Ltd. The process uses a unique patented method of inserting a cementitious material between two geosynthetic layers and stitched together to form a GCCM. For some CCX® product variants (discussed below), a LLDPE backing is applied to the bottom geotextile.
Based on environmental exposure testing, CCX® has a lifespan in excess of 50 years. For advice on specific climates, chemical conditions and applications please contact Concrete Canvas Ltd.
CCX-U® and CCX-M® have been independently tested to the performance properties listed in ASTM D8364 – Standard Specification for GCCM Materials. Both products meet the minimum requirements of a Type II GCCM. Please see Technical Note 1 for more information on ASTM D8364.
CC Hydro™
CC Hydro™ GCCB (CCH) is typically used to replace conventional liner systems for a wide range of containment applications. Typical examples include bund lining, lagoon lining, and tank lining and remediation. Our biggest markets for CCH are the Petrochemical and Oil & Gas sectors.
CC Hydro™ is BBA certified with durability in excess of 50 years for the primary containment of non-pollutants and secondary containment of other liquids. For advice specific to your project, please contact Concrete Canvas Ltd.
