Location: Creighton Mine, Ontario

Project Type: Product Supply & Installation

Product Used: Concrete Canvas® CC8 Batched Rolls

Challenge

Constructing vent closures in remote, hard-to-access areas of Creighton Mine was logistically complex and costly, traditionally requiring multiple crews and specialized equipment.

The Titan Solution

Concrete Canvas® GCCM (Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat) offered a lightweight, pre-batched, and easy-to-install alternative that could be manually transported and secured with minimal labor, even in confined underground spaces.

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 CC revolutionized vent wall construction at the mine—reducing costs, simplifying logistics, and improving safety, especially in areas still subject to blasting.
