Global Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats Market: Introduction
- Geosynthetic cementitious composite mats (GCCM) present a revolutionary material technology that enables use of concrete on slopes, in water, and in other hard-to-access sites, without requirement for mixing
- GCCM is an engineered concrete in the roll form. It is fabricated with a three-dimensional configuration, which reinforces the concrete, featuring exceptional durability and strength.
- GCCM can be quickly cut and secured in place, which makes it highly suitable for use in rehabilitating or reinforcing of a culvert or drainage ditch or berm
- Geosynthetic cementitious composite mats typically feature an upper-surface fabric, through which water can penetrate during hydration, and a bottom surface consisting of a PVC membrane that acts as a permeable barrier
- Once hydrated, a GCCM cures quickly and remains flexible for up to two hours. It can be easily manipulated to fit contours of irregular installations. Geosynthetic cementitious composite mats can be installed in rains, unlike regular concrete, which eliminates the delay in construction or rescheduling caused by weather conditions.
Key Drivers of Global Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats Market
- Due to their unique characteristics including easy installation and lower cost of maintenance, geosynthetic cementitious composite mats market is likely to witness substantial demand from sectors such as transportation, erosion control, landfill, storm water management, and mining between 2019 and 2027
- Protection of steep slopes is expected to be one of the most rapidly growing uses of GCCM in the next few years, wherein geosynthetic cementitious composite mats offer several advantages over other traditional options
Global Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats Market: Application Segments
- Based on application, the global geosynthetic cementitious composite mats (GCCMs) market can be divided into channel and ditch lining, erosion control & slope protection, weed suppression, roads & highways, rail, mining, and others (including berm protection and culvert lining)
- Ditch or channel lining areas present significant potential for use of GCCMs, as these mats can be rapidly unrolled to form a ditch or channel lining. In contrast to the conventional concrete channel lining, GCCMs are not only easier and quicker to unroll, but they are less expensive and they do not require expensive equipment.
- Erosion control and slope protection is likely to be another prominent area of application for geosynthetic cementitious composite mats. GCCMs can be used to protect slopes as a replacement for shotcrete and steel mesh. They are typically quicker to install and more cost effective; they require fewer specialist plant equipment; and they eliminate the risk associated with shotcrete rebound and debris.
North America to be a Key Market for Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats
- In terms of region, the global geosynthetic cementitious composite mats market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
- North America and Latin America are likely to prominent markets for geosynthetic cementitious composite mats during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2015, a geosynthetic cementitious composite mat was used to line a series of ditches along a railway in Liberdade, Minas Gerais (Brazil). The site had severe access issues. Several of the ditches were cut into steep slopes on either side of the railway.
