concrete Canvas® is part of a revolutionary new class of construction materials called Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (). It is a flexible, concrete filled geosynthetic that hardens on hydration

to form a thin, durable and waterproof concrete layer. Essentially, it’s

concrete on a roll TM. Concrete Canvas allows concrete construction without the need for plant or mixing equipment: just add water.

CC consists of a 3-dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated concrete mix. A PVC backing on one surface of the CC ensures the material has excellent impermeability. CC can be hydrated either by spraying or by being fully immersed in water. Once set, the fibres reinforce the concrete, preventing crack propagation and providing a safe plastic failure mode. Concrete Canvas is available in 3 thicknesses: CC5TM, CC8TM and CC13TM, which are 5, 8 and 13mm thick respectively.

 Concrete Canvas®  GCCM User Benefits                                                                              

CC can be laid at a rate of 200m2/hour, up to ten times faster than

conventional concrete solutions.

Easy to Use

The concrete is pre-mixed so there is no need for mixing, measuring or compacting. CC is also available in hand portable rolls for applications with limited access.

Lower Project Costs

The speed and ease of installation mean Concrete Canvas® GCCM  is more cost-effective than conventional concrete, with less logistical complexity.

Eco-friendly

CC is a lower Carbon alternative to conventional concrete, which uses up to 95% less material for many applications.

 Concrete Canvas®  GCCM Key Properties              Water Proof

The PVC backing on one surface of the CC ensures that the material has excellent impermeability.

Strong

The fibre reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impacts and provides a stable failure mode.

Durable

CC is 5 times as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete^▲, has excellent chemical resistance, weathering performance and UV resistance. CC is  with a durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.

Flexible

CC has good drape characteristics and will closely follow the ground profile and fit around existing infrastructure. Unset CC can be cut or tailored using basic hand tools.
