1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background
Concrete Canvas® is part of a revolutionary new class of construction

materials called Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats
(GCCMs).
It is a flexible, concrete impregnated fabric that hardens on hydration

to form a thin, durable, water proof and fire resistant concrete layer.
Essentially, it can be described as ‘concrete on a roll’ and is used

for a wide variety of applications including the rapid lining of water
channels, providing slope protection, weed suppression, culvert
repair and general concrete remediation.
1.2 Scope
• This document provides guidance procedures for the installation of Concrete Canvas® GCCM (CC) as remediation
in a manner that maximises safety, efficiency, and the physical integrity of the material and channel.
• This document provides useful information for installers, customers and specifiers of CC and provides an overview
of installation techniques for the lining of channels.
• The versatile nature of CC means that this document is not exhaustive and is intended for guidance purposes only.
Exceptions to this guideline may be required to address site-specific and/or product-specific conditions.
• The performance of CC is highly dependent on the quality of the installation. It is the installer’s responsibility to
adhere to these guidelines where applicable and to the project specification and drawings.

2.0 Specification and Installation Essentials
2.1 Specifying the correct CC Thickness
CC is available in 3 thicknesses, CC5TM (5mm), CC8TM (8mm) and CC13TM (13mm).
• CC5TM can be used to line channels with a solid substrate such as when relining an existing concrete channel
or laying over a hard substrate such as rock. CC5TM may also be used for temporary works.
• CC8TM is the standard thickness specified for channel lining and is recommended unless either of the conditions
above or below apply.
• CC13TM should be considered where a channel is to be trafficked, is exposed to high levels of debris, where
water flow rates are above 8.6m/s or where the ground is particularly steep or unstable.

CC8TM 8 1.1 12 5 4.55 125 114
CC13TM 13 1.1 19 N/A N/A 80 73
2.2 Specifying the correct CC Roll Format
CC is available in Bulk Rolls or as smaller Batched Rolls.

• Bulk Rolls offer the quickest installation but must be
deployed using heavy lifting equipment and a spreader
beam. Bulk Rolls are generally more efficient to use
than Batched Rolls, in terms of material use and
transportation.
• For sites where this isn’t suitable, man portable
Batched Rolls can be installed without the need for
plant and are well suited to smaller scale works in
restricted access areas.
• CC is now also available in Wide Rolls of up to 4 times
the standard roll width. Contact Concrete Canvas for CC Bulk Rolls and Batch Rolls
further details.

2.3 Specifying the correct Fixing Method
When installing over a smooth, rigid substrate such as poured/pre-cast concrete or asphalt, CC must be firmly anchored
to the substrate to mitigate the potential effects of drying shrinkage. The most secure method for fixing the end of a
length of CC is with a poured concrete anchor trench. Where this is not practical, appropriate concrete fixings such as
fired concrete ‘Hilti’ nails, wedge anchors or masonry bolts can be used (see figure 1).

Figure 1. Typical installation of a continuous long section of CC over an extensive concrete substrate. Where anchoring
is required either poured concrete anchor trenching or concrete anchor nailing may be used as appropriate
The following rules should be followed to determine the location of fixings:
• Fixings are required at the ‘free-ends’ of all lengths of CC.
• Intermediate fixings are required at a ‘concave profile change’ when the distance from the profile change to the
next fixing is greater than 5m. The fixings should be located approximately 100mm from the profile change (see
examples below).

2.4 Fixing Specification
• CC must always be fixed with a poured concrete anchor trench or in accordance with the following:
• The fixings must have a shank Ø>3mm, washer Ø>16mm.
• The minimum number of fixings required for a given thickness of CC is shown in table 2.
• More fixings may be required as a sufficient number of fixings must be used to withstand a total shear force (VREC/m)
per 1m width of CC, as shown in the table 2 below. See fixing manufacturers specification for VREC per fixing in a
given strength of concrete.
• The fixings should be 100mm from the end of the CC or the apex of the concave profile change.

Anchoring at terminal ends and at concave profile changes, should include a fixing through the overlap joint abutting the
adjacent strip of CC (A) and the number of fixings (B) shown in the table 2 below for the thickness of CC, equally spaced
across the remaining width.

fixings are used to resist hydraulic sheer forces resulting from peak designed flow velocity (Mannings No. n = 0.011).
Additional fixings may be required in areas of turbulent flow.

For example: to fix a width of CC8TM to a 20MPa concrete structure. Table 1 shows a minimum of 1 fixing through
the 100mm overlap joint (A) and a minimum of 7 fixings through the body of the CC. It is proposed to use Hilti DBZ
6/35 Wedge Anchors as these have a 6mm shank and a 16mm washer. The Design Resistance (VREC) of this fixing in
20MPa concrete is 2.2kN and table 2 shows a total shear force requirement of 16kN per 1.1m width of CC. Therefore:
16kN/2.2kN = 7.3 fixings required per width of CC8TM. 7.3 is rounded up to give a total of 8 fixings that will be required:
1 through the joint (A) and 7 evenly spaced through the body of the CC (B).
Ensure sufficient fixings are used to resist the hydraulic shear force resulting from the peak design flow velocity. (mannings
no n=0.011). Additional fixings may be required in areas of turbulent flow.
2.5 Jointing Specification
Adjacent layers of CC should be overlapped by a minimum of 100mm in the direction of water flow and CC can be
jointed in the length or width direction along the overlap using masonary fixings, adhesive sealant, or thermal bonding.
Typically an adhesive sealant, or thermally bonded joint is used for remediation applications. Please see the CC User
Guide: Jointing and Fixing for the full range of jointing methods available.

3.0 Methodology
1
3.1 Equipment
• Failing concrete must be cleaned and mortar applied

to larger cracks (typically anything larger than 50mm
in any direction) to eliminate voids under the CC.
• Any loose soil, rocks, concrete debris, and vegetation
should be removed.
2
3.2 Laying CC
• Unroll the CC onto the surface to be remediated, with

the fibrous surface facing up and the PVC membrane
in contact with the ground.
• Tuck the CC into any corners, ensuring there is
intimate contact with the substrate - once in position
cut the material to length.
3.3 Positioning and Fixing
• Ensure a minimum overlap of 100mm in the direction

3
of water flow when jointing adjacent layers of CC.
• Apply fixings as per the guidance above.
4
3.4 Jointing
• Adhesive sealant or thermal bonding is the most

commonly used method of jointing for remediation
projects. See CC User Guide: Jointing and Fixing for
detailed instructions and alternative jointing methods.
• Wherever possible CC should be hydrated under the
overlaps prior to jointing. This is critical to ensuring the
joint reaches its specified strength and is especially
5
important in arid conditions.

3.0 Installation Methodology contd...
3.5 Hydration
• After fixing and jointing, spray the CC with water to

hydrate.
• Brushing the surface of CC with a stiff brush prior to
hydration will help improve the appearance when set by
removing surface dust, footprints and prevent staining.
• Spray the fibre surface multiple times until the CC is fully
saturated. The wet CC will first darken and then become
lighter as it absorbs the water.
Hydration
• Do not spray high pressure water directly onto the CC as
this may wash a channel in the material.
• CC can be hydrated using fresh water or salt water and
will hydrate and set underwater.
• It is not possible to over hydrate CC.
• A minimum volume of water equal to 50% of the material
weight is required. For example, CC8TM requires 6 litres
of water per square meter.
• To check proper hydration, the CC should feel wet to the
touch several minutes after hydration.
• It is not recommended to rely on rainfall to provide Hydration Touch Test
hydration.
• To determine whether the CC has been sufficiently
hydrated, simply press your thumb into the CC and
release. If water is present in the depression in the CC,
it has been sufficiently hydrated. If no water is observed,
then more water must be applied.
• For more information on hydration and for extreme
temperature installations, please consult the CC User
Guide: Hydration.
3.6 Setting Ensure Adequate Hydration, Don’t Rely on Rainfall
• There is a working time of 1-2 hours after hydration.

• Backfill anchor trenches to create a neat termination
and encourage surface water runoff to flow over
the anchor trench and in to the CC channel.
• CC hardens to 80% strength in 24 hours and is then
ready for use.
See CC Equipment List for full details. Dust hazard. Wear

appropriate PPE. Consult CC & CCH SDS document.
