CC Hydro™
The World’s First Armoured Impermeable Liner for Containment
CC Hydro™ is the world’s first all-in-one armoured impermeable liner for a wide range of containment applications, such as bund lining, lagoon lining, tank wall remediation and tank base lining. CC Hydro™ removes the need for protective top cover, dramatically reducing installation times and simplifying logistics.
About CC Hydro™
CC Hydro™ is an impermeable geosynthetic cementitious composite barrier (GCCB) that combines Concrete Canvas® technology with a chemically resistant geomembrane liner. Designed for containment, bund and lagoon lining within the petrochemical sector, CC Hydro™ is also used more widely for general containment applications where increased protection is required. CC Hydro™ features a hi-visibility welding strip for thermally welded joints and on-site testing.
CC Hydro™ is available in two types: CCHT1™ and CCHT2™, which conform to ASTM D8364, types I and II.

User Benefits
All-in-one Solution
Combines the impermeability of a containment liner with the hard armour protection and durability of concrete.
No top cover
Does not require a protective cover, avoiding excavation, contaminated arisings and costly fill.
Maintains volume capacity
Can be laid directly onto existing profiles without reducing volume capacity.
Reduced life-cycle costs
Suppresses weeds, removes soil cover maintenance and lowers end-of-life treatment costs.
Real-World Applications
CC Hydro™ is ideal for containment applications where impermeability is essential. It’s commonly used for bund lining, liquid containment and to remediate ponds and lagoons to prevent seepage. Fast to install and low maintenance, it offers a durable alternative to poured concrete over a geomembrane liner.

FAQs
CC Hydro™ (CCH) is the world’s first all-in-one armoured impermeable liner, known as a Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Barrier. CC Hydro™ (CCH) combines the concrete filled geosynthetic technology of Concrete Canvas® with a highly impermeable, chemically resistant geomembrane liner. The liner incorporates a hi-visibility welding strip which allows joints to be thermally welded with a double-track or triple-track air channel for on-site testing.
CC Hydro™ is laid in the same way as Concrete Canvas® but the geomembrane liner is thermally welded along the overlaps for a fully impermeable joint. The flexible concrete-filled geosynthetic hardens on hydration, to provide long term protection to the geomembrane from puncture, abrasion, weathering and UV degradation. This hard armour concrete surface effectively removes the need for concrete, soil or aggregate top cover, normally required with conventional liner systems.
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.
