Concrete Canvas joins CIRIA membership
Established in 2005, Concrete Canvas Ltd manufactures four award-winning products based on its core material technology; they are a new, innovative class of materials called GCCM's - Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats. GCCMs are flexible, concrete-filled geotextiles that harden on hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof, lower-carbon concrete layer. Essentially, it's concrete on a roll®. Developed initially to construct Concrete Canvas Shelters®, the speed and ease with which Concrete Canvas® (CC) can be installed make it more cost-effective than conventional solutions. Up to 200m² of CC can be supplied on a single pallet, replacing two 3m3 ready-mix trucks - reducing construction work's logistics and environmental impact while reducing the contractor burden of civil projects.
Recently, CCX® was launched. Explicitly developed for canal lining and remediating bulk water infrastructure, CCX® significantly reduces water loss in canals, waterways, and hydroelectric channel lining, with one of the variants providing a certified containment solution.
All products are manufactured at the company's headquarters, near Cardiff, and exported to 100+ countries. CC products have gained market acceptance as a cost-effective alternative to conventional concrete in various erosion control applications, from channel lining to slope protection. Customers include nine of the ten largest oil and gas companies in the world, Network Rail, the EA, and the British Armed Forces.
