SPARTANBURG, SC (June 27, 2017) —Milliken Infrastructure Solutions, LLC, has announced its newest product, CC Hydro Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat (GCCM), for the water infrastructure and oil, gas, and industrial industries. This all-in-one containment product combines the properties of Milliken Infrastructure’s Concrete Cloth GCCM with a high impermeability, chemically resistant geomembrane backing.
CC Hydro, also licensed from Concrete Canvas Ltd., introduces a new solution to challenges in secondary containment, channel and irrigation lining, as well as pond or lagoon lining applications, with numerous benefits. The combination of impermeability of a containment liner, with the protection and durability of concrete helps reduce installation time by consolidating materials and simplifying logistics.
“Because of the many environmental containment applications for CC Hydro, it really is a comprehensive solution,” said Milliken Infrastructure Global Market Manager John Hepfinger. “We’ve already seen how Concrete Cloth can provide installation and maintenance savings, and in the right application CC Hydro can further those investments.”
This flexible concrete impregnated fabric, which hardens after hydration, can be installed in rain and other wet conditions, unlike traditional concrete products. The impregnated concrete also provides long-term protection to the geomembrane from puncture, abrasion, weather and UV exposure. CC Hydro eliminates life-cycle costs traditionally incurred with alternative products through its many benefits. By eliminating the need for a protective top cover, no additional fill material or excavation and treatment of contaminated soil is required. Additionally, the product can be laid directly onto existing profiles without inducing any volume loss, providing time and cost savings. CC Hydro incorporates a high-visibility welding strip, allowing installers to bond the joints with a twin-track air channel for fast and simple on-site pressure testing.
