Challenge:
The City of Vaughan faced the challenge of restoring proper water runoff in an overgrown diversion ditch that hindered drainage and required a durable, low-maintenance solution.
Achievement:
Three years after installation, the Concrete Canvas-lined ditch remained structurally sound with no internal vegetation growth, minimal maintenance issues, and led to multiple follow-up projects by the satisfied customer.
Product Used:
Concrete Canvas®
Location: Vaughan, ON
Project Type: Product Supply
Product Used: Concrete Canvas® CC™ Bulk Rolls
Project Context
In August of 2013, the City of Vaughan's Public Works department in Vaughan, Ontario installed 90 sq. meters of CC5 batched into one of the cities water diversion ditches. Prior to installation the ditch had been over grown with vegetation and proper water run off was difficult. Concrete Canvas was chosen due to its benefits of rapid installation
time and maintenance cost savings over time. 
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
36 months after the installation took place, the Concrete Canvas (CC) lined ditch is holding strong. Vegetation has grown back along each side of the ditch with no growth present inside the ditch itself. The CC has weathered very well with no visible changes. Some debris as been getting caught on the culverts entrances but this has not effected
the CC's integrity. Since this CC installation, the customer has completed several other CC projects.
