Concrete Canvas® CCX-M®: Transforming Erosion Control for Oil & Gas Sites

Concrete Canvas: Erosion Control

Industry

Civil Infrastructure

Challenge:

A Saskatchewan oil and gas operator required an advanced, long-term channel protection system engineered for three environmentally sensitive sites to stabilize weak subgrades, execute a strategic product transition, and meet demanding construction schedules while ensuring absolute environmental compliance.

Achievement:

Executed seamlessly on schedule across three challenging sites, we engineered enhanced constructability and mitigated installation risks through the strategic deployment of advanced technical solutions, including Concrete Canvas® CCX-M®, Titan TE-8 Nonwoven Geotextile, Titan Swamp Grid® 30 Combination Geogrid, and Titan Silt Fence.

Challenge

An oil and gas operator in Saskatchewan faced a critical need for
a long-term channel protection system across three environmentally sensitive sites. The project required stabilizing weak subgrades, maintaining construction timelines, and
transitioning from a previously specified product—all while ensuring compliance with stringent environmental safeguards.

Titan Solution

Titan delivered a fully integrated erosion control and stabilization system, meticulously engineered for durability, constructability, and lifecycle performance. Collaborating closely with the contractor, Titan facilitated a seamless transition to Concrete Canvas® CCX-M®, providing comprehensive technical documentation, installation guidance, and responsive project support. This proactive approach ensured a smooth approval
process while mitigating procurement and execution risks.

Key elements of the solution included:
Concrete Canvas® CCX-M®: Installed transversely within the channels to optimize hydraulic performance and erosion resistance. Edges were secured in engineered anchor trenches to prevent uplift and edge failure, while seams were
mechanically fastened with stainless steel screws and sealed for a continuous, watertight lining system designed for long-term service life with minimal maintenance.

Titan Swamp Grid® 30: Deployed to stabilize weak subgrades by distributing loads and improving ground bearing capacity, significantly enhancing site access and reducing the risk of rutting or construction delays. Titan TE-8 Nonwoven Geotextile: Used beneath the system for separation and reinforcement, improving structural integrity and ensuring long-term reliability.

Titan’s responsive material supply and cross-site coordination ensured uninterrupted installation across all three locations, maintaining quality control and adhering to tight project schedules.

 

Concrete Canvas® (CC) is part of a new class of construction material known as a Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat (GCCM). A GCCM is a factory-assembled geosynthetic composite consisting of a cementitious layer contained within one or multiple layers of geosynthetic materials.  

Achievement

The project was successfully completed on schedule across all three sites, delivering enhanced constructability and reduced
installation risks under challenging ground conditions.
Key Results:
2,135 m² of Concrete Canvas® CCX-M® installed for durable
channel lining and long-term erosion protection.
21,318 m² of Titan TE-8 Nonwoven Geotextile and 12,245 m² of
Titan Swamp Grid® 30 Combination Geogrid deployed to
reinforce weak subgrades and improve load distribution.
2,500 linear feet of Titan Silt Fence installed to support
sediment control and protect surrounding environments
during construction.

The integrated solution not only strengthened environmental safeguards but also enhanced groundwater protection and reduced anticipated lifecycle maintenance demands. By combining advanced engineered materials with proactive technical partnership, Titan minimized project risks, optimized field efficiency, and delivered scalable, high-performance environmental protection across multiple active oil and gas sites.
