Concrete Canvas is leading the way when it comes to manufacturing innovative erosion control solutions. As revolutionary Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (GCCMs), CC and CCX can be used for a wide range of applications, including ditch lining, slope protection, culvert repair, and bund lining. However, correct installation is crucial to achieving the durability and performance that Concrete Canvas is known for. That’s why CCUSA has developed a concise ToolBox Talk video designed to educate contractors on the four core principles of installation.
The Toolbox Talk covers vital steps to ensure a successful installation, emphasising best practices for hydration, anchoring, overlapping, and jointing. Following these principles ensures the product performs as intended and aligns with ASTM D8364 standards, which govern the quality and use of GCCMs in civil engineering applications. Proper adherence to these standards guarantees your project’s safety, longevity, and integrity.
Choosing a quality product is equally critical. Concrete Canvas is CE Marked, ensuring it meets stringent European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. Unfortunately, there are some products on the market that fail to meet international performance and reliability standards. Using substandard alternatives can lead to premature failures, costly repairs, and potential safety hazards. You can avoid these pitfalls by following the ToolBox Talk guidance and opting for certified Concrete Canvas products.
Finally, after viewing the video, contractors have the opportunity to take the CCUSA Contractor Training test. This test reinforces the knowledge gained from the Toolbox Talk and provides certification, demonstrating your expertise and commitment to quality. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to using Concrete Canvas, this certification is a valuable asset that sets you apart in the industry.
Take your project’s success seriously – watch the CCUSA ToolBox Talk, follow best practices, and complete the Contractor Training test to ensure every installation is up to standard. With the right knowledge and materials, you can deliver safe, durable, and high-performing installations every time.
