CCX®

CCX-MAT® (CCX-M®)

CCX-M® incorporates a 0.3 mm LLDPE backing to provide low permeability and reduce water seepage losses. The composite concrete surface provides long-term durability and can accommodate differential ground movement due to the fibre reinforcement within the material.

CCX-M® is particularly well suited for lining and rehabilitating channels and irrigation canals, helping extend infrastructure service life while reducing seepage losses.

CCX-M® is typically jointed using a combination of mechanical fasteners, adhesive sealant and thermal bonding.

Benefits of Using CCX®

• Rapid Installation – CCX® can be installed quickly and put into service approximately 24 hours after hydration, helping maximize installation volumes during critical infrastructure shutdown.
• Reduced Seepage – CCX-M® incorporates an LLDPE backing to reduce water seepage losses while the fibre-reinforced structure accommodates differential ground movement and helps limit crack propagation.
• Composite Solution – CCX® combines the low permeability of a geomembrane with the protection and durability of concrete, providing a durable alternative to conventional concrete lining solutions.
• Low Logistical Footprint – At approximately 14.5–15.5 kg/m², CCX® is more than 10 times lighter per unit area than conventional concrete, reducing transportation requirements, project logistics and associated costs.
• Durable Performance – CCX® provides a durable concrete surface with abrasion resistance more than 3.5 times that of conventional OPC concrete and a design life in excess of 50 years when properly installed.

CCX® Bulk Water Infrastructure Applications

•  Canal Lining – Large hydraulic systems such as irrigation canals, navigation canals, and rivers can be lined. CCX® is highly suited for lining large profiles, either as remediation for existing concrete canals or for new earth canal linings.
• Reservoir lining – Line and enhance existing reservoirs, providing a protective geomembrane above the waterline where conventional liners could be damaged. The exposed reservoir crest region or the complete containment surface can be lined with CCX®.
• Hydroelectric Channels – Large uniform profile channels, such as feeder canals and flumes for hydroelectric plants.
