PUBLIC WORKS CIMTEX-X

CIMTEX^®-X has been developed specifically for canal lining and can be rapidly unrolled to line and remediate bulk water infrastructure.

CIMTEX^®-X has excellent impermeability significantly reducing water seepage losses in applications such as canals, waterways and hydroelectric channels.

CIMTEX^®-X consists of two interconnected layers of geotextile that encapsulate a specially formulated dry concrete mix. An LLDPE geomembrane backing ensures the material has very high impermeability. The composite concrete top cover provides a high degree of long-term durability.

CIMTEX^®-X can be rapidly unrolled to line and remediate canal infrastructure. It is significantly faster, easier and more cost-effective to install than conventional lining methods. CCX™ can be hydrated either by spraying or by being fully immersed in water.

As a result, CIMTEX^®-X is the ideal solution for the lining and remediation of large channels such as irrigation canals, increasing their operational life and reducing water seepage losses.

Two variants of CIMTEX^®-X are currently available: 

• CIMTEX^®-X/M for erosion control applications
• CIMTEX^®-X/B for containment critical applications.

CIMTEX^®-X products exceed the minimum requirements of ASTM D8364 – Standard Specification for GCCM Materials.

• Quick and easy to install
• Product available in man portable rolls for applications with limited access
• Ready to use solution : the concrete is pre-mixed so there is no need for mixing, measuring or compacting
• Good drape characteristics and will closely follow the ground profile and fit around existing infrastructure
• Eco friendly : product is low mass, low carbon technology which uses up to 95 % less material than conventional concrete for many applications
• The fibre reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impacts and provides a stable failure mode
• Durable product : chemical resistance, weathering performance and UV resistance
• The PVC backing on one surface ensures that the material has excellent impermeability

• 2 variants : CIMTEX^®-X/M for erosion control applications & CIMTEX^®-X/B for containment critical applications.
• Size rolls : 1,90 x 50m
• Drying time : 1 to 2 hours at room temperature. Concrete Canvas products will achieve an 80 % strength rate after 24 hours of hydration
• Consistance :
  • a top surface designed to allow perfect hydration of the fabric
  • a 3 dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry concrete mix
  • a polypropylene reinforcement layer
  • an LLDPE geomembrane
