4,200m² of CCX-M^® Installed for Erosion Control

In June 2024, Concrete Canvas Ltd’s CCX-MAT^® (CCX-M^®) GCCM was used to provide erosion control to a new drainage channel located in Oxagon, Neom, Saudi Arabia.

The new drainage channel was designed to divert pumped underground water from an excavation site into the neighbouring Red Sea. However, the condition of the subgrade meant that the channel would be susceptible to erosion due to the fast water flows.

The client needed a solution that could be installed quickly, minimised excavation works, and ensured cost efficiency without compromising capacity or flow speed. Instead of poured concrete, one solution that they considered was shotcrete. However, the limited access and short timescales meant that the solution was also unsuitable. CCX-M^® was suggested as alternative solution as the material can be easily installed in limited access locations, but is also a rapid, low-maintenance and cost-effective solution.
