Concrete Canvas is a flexible concrete impregnated fabric that hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable water proof and fire-resistant concrete layer. The makers describe them as “concrete on a roll”
Concrete Canvas (CC) allows concrete construction without the need for plant or mixing equipment. Simply position the Canvas and just add water!
CC consists of a 3-dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry concrete mix. A PVC backing on one surface of the material ensures the material is water proof. The material 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.
There are many application for CC : Ditch lining, Slope protection, Bund Lining, Remediation, Ventwalls, Outfall, Gabions and even emergency Shelters.
Compared to traditional concrete solutions, CC is faster, easier and, more cost effective to install and has the additional benefit of reducing the environmental impact of concreting works by up to 95%
