CC TitleCase Study : Golborne, Warrington
Network Rail contracted Murphy Group to clear and line an
open drainage ditch that had been clogged by growth and
was at risk of destabilising the railway embankment. Concrete
Canvas (CC) was specified to line the cleared ditch to prevent
further growth and to stabilise the bank. The access to the site
was poor, across farmland and located within a copse on a
steep bank that ran along a high speed rail line. The use of
CC allowed Murphy group to line the 120m long ditch in just
1.5 days.
A key benefit of using CC, is its ability to conform to the natural
contours of a ditch, providing an aesthetic in keeping with the
surrounding environment. CC will naturally green over time as
the textured top surface allows moss growth, whilst the fibrereinforced concrete layer will prevent root-growing vegetation,
which would otherwise restrict water flow and increase
maintenance costs.
Concrete Canvas offers a low carbon alternative to poured
or precast concrete ditch lining, reducing the cost, time and
environmental impact of construction work.

CC Title Case Study : Cholsey Case Study
On the 1st June 2010, Dyer and Butler started work to repair a
drainage ditch which was at risk of overflowing onto an adjacent
public road. Network Rail specified Concrete Canvas for the
ditch which ran for 50 metres next to Cholsey Train Station
near Wallingford in Oxfordshire.
Using Concrete Canvas at this site had great benefits over
conventional methods, with speed of delivery of works and
negligible disruption to the local public and road users

CC TitleCase Study : Chipping Sodbury
In September 2009, a 140m section of ditch was lined using
Concrete Canvas by AMCO, (Amalgamated Construction).
The project was commissioned by Network Rail to provide
drainage at the top of a railway embankment in Chipping
Sodbury, Gloucestershire.
This was the first time AMCO had used CC for ditch lining
and the project was heralded as a major success. CC was
significantly quicker and easier to install than conventional
concrete slab construction, reducing the project cost and time
on site. The Concrete Canvas was supplied in man portable
rolls for ease of use on a site with limited access.
Concrete Canvas is incredibly quick and easy to use. It
allowed us to line over 100m of ditch in less than 8 hours,
with the minimum of man power and plant equipment. The
time and expense saved, means I will have no hesitation in
recommending Concrete Canvas for future projects.
