Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)

These are engineered solutions designed to stabilize slopes and beds, control erosion, and ensure efficient water conveyance. They integrate geosynthetics, gabions, and advanced linings to deliver durable, adaptable performance across varied site conditions.

They safeguard hydraulic performance, reduce erosion risks, and provide long‑term stability and resilience. This makes them vital for flood mitigation, urban stormwater management, irrigation canals, culverts, and other critical infrastructure.

  • Reliable erosion control and slope stabilization
  • Efficient water conveyance with reduced seepage losses
  • Adaptability to diverse soil and hydraulic conditions
  • Faster installation compared to conventional concrete methods
  • Lower carbon footprint and reduced maintenance requirements

They are widely used in urban stormwater networks, flood mitigation channels, irrigation canals, culverts, river training works, and slope protection projects where durability and hydraulic efficiency are essential.

TechFab provides advanced systems such as TechMat® Uniform Section / Filter Point Mattress and Concrete Canvas®, both designed to resist erosion, improve hydraulic efficiency, and reduce environmental impact.

TechMat® is a monolithic concrete matrix supplied in roll form. It offers:

  • Continuous, uniform protection without formwork or batching
  • Flexibility to adapt to poor subgrades
  • 40–60% faster installation than conventional concrete
  • Reduced seepage and water losses
  • Lower embodied carbon and minimal maintenance

Concrete Canvas® is a geosynthetic concrete composite that hardens on hydration to form a durable lining. Benefits include:

  • “Concrete on a Roll” – easy deployment and installation in hours
  • 10× faster installation than cast concrete
  • No mixing or batching required
  • Up to 95% less material use, reducing CO₂ emissions
  • High abrasion and chemical resistance for aggressive environments
  • Long service life with reduced maintenance

TechFab provides end‑to‑end support including hydraulic design, stability assessments, material optimization, and on‑site guidance—ensuring reliable functionality and long‑term serviceability.
