Foreign traders were informed on the production procedure and technical information, leading to various export contracts for this cutting-edge, knowledge-based product.Cement-based versatile fabrics, also known as Concrete Canvas, are an ingenious, pre-fabricated construction material made by integrating a layer of fibrous material with a dry cement mixture.
These materials are flexible before hydration and can comply with various surfaces.Once hydrated, they harden into a long lasting concrete layer.
Due to their ease of transport, fast installation, and no need for heavy machinery, concrete canvas is perfect for civil jobs in remote or hard-to-access areas.It is commonly used for channel lining, erosion control, fast facilities repair, short-term shelters, and semi-permanent structures.
This technology is acknowledged as a sustainable and innovative service in civil engineering and disaster management, significantly minimizing water, energy, time, and labor compared to standard concrete methods.The high-tech concrete material, established at Shahid Soleimani Science and Technology Park, represents one of the most innovative innovations in the world.The material concrete was also favored by the Omani delegation, which visited the pavilion throughout the early hours of the exhibition.The quality of this product is nearly comparable to that of the UK, while its cost is approximately one quarter of the UK items cost.
