Durable stormwater drainage and slope protection
Road infrastructure projects can face complex challenges around drainage, rain-water attenuation, erosion control and weed suppression. Traditional concrete methods can be slow, costly and complex to co-ordinate. Concrete Canvas® products provide a faster, simpler, lower carbon, lower cost solution for complex projects. With rapid installation and a durability of up to 120 years, CC products are the ideal solutions to the challenges of highway infrastructure.
Key Challenges and Solutions
Stormwater Management
Concrete Canvas® products provide durable ditch lining and attenuation pond protection for stormwater management, preventing flooding and protecting road foundations.
Roadside Slope Erosion
Concrete Canvas® products provide durable slope protection for cuttings and embankments, often replacing conventional solutions such as shotcrete to reduce road closure times.
Damage & Degradation
Concrete Canvas® products provide a rapid means to resurface and repair damaged and degrading steel culverts without excavation, restoring flow with minimal traffic impact.

The simplicity in application; the industrialization of the application process; the speed on installation; the non-risk of over hydrating the concrete; the low safety risks associated; the easiness on the material transportation; and finally, the reduced industrial waste resulting from the application.

The Church Village Bypass scheme presented our team with a unique challenge. The location and nature of the works required the sensitive use of appropriate construction materials in order to minimise the impact on the local environment. Concrete Canvas provided a means of rapidly installing a low carbon concrete ditch whilst maintaining the natural aesthetic of the overall scheme.

I consider CC to be a practical, fast and agile solution, which is easy to install without the need for specialised labour or lane/line possession. Another big advantage is the possibility to install CC on slopes or drainage elements under severe weather conditions. Also the transportation, the finishing and cleaning of the work site and its surrounding area was superior to the alternatives. I would recommend it as a suitable solution for slopes and ditch lining for road and rail projects.

The original drainage solution provided a huge logistical headache so changing the design to a Concrete Canvas lined ditch saved a lot of time; I was really impressed with the speed and ease of installation.

For me it was impressive – the hardness obtained by a thin layer of 5mm and in such a [short] time. I also like the more natural and organic look of CC against the shotcrete. It’s super-fast! Nowadays the companies are always on top of cost savings, and with the shotcrete solution [it would have been] much greater in terms of logistics and time. It’s super easy!

We were pleased with the speed of installation of Concrete Canvas, particularly given the ground conditions. We have since used Concrete Canvas on other projects to provide a fast, effective ditch lining solution and will certainly advise our clients to use in future.
