Culvert Rehabilitation - Edmonton

Industry
Civil Infrastructure
Challenge:
The rehabilitation of the Mackinnon Ravine storm trunk faced significant structural issues including high ovality deformation, invert corrosion, and joint separation.
Achievement:
Using Concrete Canvas® (CC8) as a hybrid solution enabled cost-effective repairs and reuse of the existing culvert, saving time and money while avoiding a full replacement.
Product Used:
Concrete Canvas®
Location: Edmonton, Alberta
Project Type: Product Supply & Installation
Product Used: Concrete Canvas® CC8 Batched
Challenge
The Mackinnon Ravine storm trunk in Edmonton, AB, had a 2,100mm diameter, 372m long corrugated steel pipe suffering from high ovality deformation, invert corrosion, and joint separation, making full replacement costly and labor-intensive.
The Titan Solution
Titan supplied batched rolls of Concrete Canvas® (CC8), chosen for its ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and ability to rehabilitate the existing culvert. CC8 was used as a hybrid solution to repair corrosion and joint issues, while areas with high ovality were slip-lined for structural reinforcement. Titan was selected for its fast lead times, strong service focus, and expertise in culvert rehabilitation.
Concrete Canvas® (CC) is a Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat (GCCM), a factory-produced material combining cement within geosynthetic layers that hardens when hydrated for erosion control and weed suppression.
Achievement
The use of CC8 allowed the existing culvert to be reused, significantly reducing costs and project time for the client compared to a full replacement.
