Water Infiltration Barrier & Erosion Control Protection to a Reinforced Earth Wall

Our Tiltex installation team have just completed a major water infiltration barrier & erosion control to the ROM Wall Crusher A project at Ironbridge Mine, Pilbara WA. Our team installed Tiltex 12B Anti Cracking 11,000psi Compressive Strength GCCM over 164 ft long steep batters at 1V:1.6H, secured with our soil anchor grid system designed to endure 164ft/sec winds.

 Tiltex 12B GCCM was specified for covering slopes above the ROM Wall and its primary design is to inhibit water infiltration behind the metal facing wall panels and provide ground surface erosion protection of batter slopes. The project involved deploying the Tiltex 12B’s 16ft 4”wide x 65 ft long rolls longitudinally down the steep batters and seaming with our unique Tiltex B STAB 40 seaming system. Installing a soil anchor grid system at 6ft 6” grid pattern and perimeter soil anchors at 1 ft 7”  spacing.

 Hydrating Tiltex 12B GCCM on steep slopes is achievable with our exclusive Saturation Hydrator apparatus to provide an even distribution of water through Tiltex 12B’s matrix structure to ensure no unset cement and to initiate curing to 11,000psi Compressive Strength and 2235psi* Flexural Strength properties. *7 days

Tiltex North America announces that Inferior Quality GCCM Cementitious Materials are being Promoted and Mislead to be ‘Tiltex’ Erosion Control Materials within the North American Market

The erosion control market is changing with the introduction of an increased variety of GCCM’s (Geosynthetic Cementitious Concrete Mat) entering the worldwide market. 

 With all product and market cycles, the changes invariably bring with them a variety of product types, materials, standards and large variances in quality. This variance in quality can lead to substandard quality product results when the incorrect GCCM is applied to an erosion control and containment solution when the product does not meet the standard required for the application. 

Tiltex North America introduces the new Tiltex Turf range of products.

This product has all of the properties of our Tiltex Anti Cracking 80MPa/11,000psi+ Compressive Strength GCCM with the aesthetic benefits of a layer of artificial turf bonded on top offering an attractive and durable product with minimal maintenance.
