Concrete Canvas offers a revolutionary new technology that is included in the classification of materials called Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (GCCMs). It is a thin, flexible, concrete filled, geosynthetic that hardens upon hydration and can be used for erosion control and containment. Benefits of GCCMs include rapid and easy installation, lower project costs, and it is eco-friendly when compared to traditional construction methods. The CC product is intended for use in Channel lining, Slope protection, Bund lining, weed suppression, and many other applications which will be highlighted through review of several case studies.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to identify a Geosynthetic Concrete Composite Mat (GCCM) according to ASTM D 8364 and understand its relevance in the erosion control market.
Upon completion, the participate will be able to identify target applications for GCCM's and understand key installtion principals
Upon completion, the participant will undertand how GCCMs compare agsinst typical construction methods such as rip rap and cast in place concrete.
