CONCRETE LINING SYSTEMS
Fabric Formed Concrete Lining Systems are used to construct a wide range of engineering systems to provide increased performance in erosion control, scour protection, foundation, environmental, and marine construction applications. Fabric Formed Concrete is a highly engineered textile, fabricated into custom panel sections and patterns. The custom panels are then pumped full of high-strength flow-able concrete which sets up into a uniformly patterned concrete lining system. The panels can be placed and filled either underwater or in-the-dray. This filled-in-place fabric to accommodate uneven contours, curves, and subgrades. In doing so, the soil and the concrete protection are in contact, reducing the chance of any underscouring.
Fabric Formed Concrete Linings can also be used in conjunction with geosynthetic liners to protect and reduce mechanical damage, exposure to UV light, and freeze-thaw cycles. These self-supporting, high-strength linings permit construction on steep side slopes and replace the conventional use of clay or sand as liner protection. Placement of the forms and concrete filling can be performed without the use of equipment on the liner. The tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the fabric protect the liner from the pumped concrete. They provide erosion-resistant, permeable concrete linings for the following;
CONCRETE LINING SYSTEMS
- Channel and Canal Linings
- Check Dams
- Bridge Scour Protection
- Shoreline Protection
- Underwater Pipeline Covers
- Slope Protection
- Access Roads and Low-Water Crossings
- Dam/Spillway Overflow Protection
- Stream and River Bank Stabilization
