Water & Wastes Digest has featured a Milliken-installed CC culvert, along with a step-by-step guide for the installation process, including helpful tips on how to determine layup and ensuring successful hydration. See the article here.
In July 2018, Concrete Canvas® GCCM* (CC) was used to line a series of drainage channels on the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) project in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The AWPR is a major infrastructure project that will significantly improve travel in north east Scotland. It involves the construction of a new dual carriageway which is projected to cost £745 million and create an alternative route from north to south Aberdeen, bypassing the city.

In November 2015, Western Refi nery Services (WRS) in Washington State, USA, installed over 2000m² of Concrete Canvas (CC) GCCM. The material was used to provide a protective top-layer to a HDPE liner on a bund at a petroleum storage site. WRS have previously used CC and due to the success of their fi rst installation, did not consider any alternatives. See how this installation was carried out here.
Take a look at the latest article published on Geosynthetica, which looks into the use of Concrete Canvas (CC) GCCMs in the protection of steep slopes. You can read it here.

In October 2017, Concrete Canvas® GCCM* (CC) was used to line a channel at the side of the Three Arch Bridge which runs over the rail line in Sherborne, Somerset. The purpose of the channel was to divert surface water runoff from farmers fields away from an embankment that had previously slipped due to saturation.
The works were carried out by Suttle Projects on behalf of Osborne, for Network Rail, with input and Consultation provided by from Arcadis, who specified CC as a robust channel lining solution that would require minimal future maintenance.
The project was carried out in two stages to suit the site programme – this project was carried out alongside a larger project which was required to reinstate an embankment which failed during a storm event.
