What is Concrete Canvas®? Learn How it Works & Why it’s Revolutionary
Concrete Canvas® (CC) is part of a new class of construction material known as a Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat (GCCM). CC is unique to other options in the market. The only GCCM tested to rigorous ASTM D8364 standard and the most environmentally sustainable...
Selecting the Correct Geogrid for Base Reinforcement & Stabilization
Geogrids are an ideal solution for soil reinforcement and stabilization issues where soil properties are at risk of performance failures in various structures, such as roads, foundations, and retaining walls. Benefits of Using Geogrids: Easy and efficient...
Controlling Cost & Carbon Emissions in Asphalt Pavement Construction
Asphalt pavement construction and rehabilitation is a massive responsibility across Canada and the USA. In Ontario alone, $2.6 billion was reaffirmed in 2021 for 580 highway expansions and rehabilitation projects. Cost, efficiency, sustainability and carbon...
On solid ground: Spotlighting Titan’s geosynthetics
Author: Matthew Bradford On solid ground: Spotlighting Titan’s geosynthetics Successful construction projects begin on solid foundations. That’s not always a given on sites where weaker subgrades make it difficult, if not impossible, to stage the equipment, materials,...
Geogrid for Calgary Road Building
Geosynthetic materials have proven their worth on (and below) surfaces across Canada, where they are being used in greater frequency to provide contractors with a stronger, more sustainable, and cost-efficient base for their projects. Canada’s road-building sector...
Using Geogrids for Mine Haul Road Base Reinforcement
Mine haul roads are essential to the functionality, profitability, and safety of a mine. A poorly designed mine haul road can cost active mines millions of dollars, jeopardizing the site’s continued operation. Traditionally, mine haul roads are wasteful and...
Using Geogrids for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Retaining Wall Construction
One of the important challenges of any government entity is the maintenance of civil infrastructure to ensure longevity and safety. Failure to develop the best project design creates a costly construction process that requires frequent rehabilitation after completion....
