Location: Cobourg, ON
Project Type: Product Supply
Product Used: Concrete Canvas® CC8
Challenge
Surface water was penetrating a Retaining Soil System (RSS) wall near a highway off-ramp in Cobourg, ON, causing runoff onto the road and creating hazardous driving conditions during freezing temperatures. The existing rip rap and geotextile ditch system was failing to contain the water.
The Titan Solution
Titan supplied 250 m² of Concrete Canvas® CC8™ bulk rolls for installation by Aecon Construction as part of an MTO project. The CC was laid longitudinally behind the RSS wall, sealed with SikaFlex 1A and spikes, and covered with rip rap prior to hydration. The material was chosen for its ease of installation and minimal impact on traffic.
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 installation was completed in one day by a five-person crew, successfully redirecting water flow away from the road and improving safety, with positive feedback from the Ministry of Transportation on the product’s potential for future use.
