TILTEX Cementitious Composite Mats
TILTEX encloses a dry cementitious mixture between geotextile layers and forms a protective concrete layer after hydration. We supply and install the mats for designed channels, slopes and other erosion-protection works.
What is GCCM?
A GCCM (Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat) is a flexible composite liner consisting of cementitious material encapsulated between geotextiles. Once spread, the mat is hydrated with water to cure into a thin, durable concrete layer.
Tiltex is a needle-punched composite made of a sand-cement mixture bound between geotextile layers, forming a strong protective liner once hydrated.

Installation and technical guidance
Design and procurement inputs
Specify the TILTEX grade, substrate, overlaps and joints, crest and toe anchorage, hydration and curing. Confirm hydraulic performance and whether a separate watertight barrier is required.
Provide the product grade or performance specification, drawings or BOQ, quantities, site location and required date. We will define supply, delivery and any agreed installation and QA/QC responsibilities in the quotation.

QA/QC inspection
Installation steps include unrolling, cutting, overlapping, anchoring, and hydration with water (minimum ratio 1:2 water to liner), with curing starting in about 90 minutes.
SELECTION · SPECIFICATION · PROJECT SUPPLY
Choose the right specification
Match the erosion or confinement system to slope geometry, soil, water exposure, loading and the intended finish.
- Identify whether the duty is surface erosion, cellular confinement or a cementitious lining.
- Confirm the exact product, substrate, anchorage, infill and joint or overlap details.
- Use the product procedure and engineered layout rather than transferring fixing rules between systems.
Define the quality records
Inspect product identity, prepared ground, fixing and continuity, then record infill or activation and any specified acceptance checks.
For a useful quotation: send the grade or performance specification, quantity, location, required date and scope. Availability, delivery and installation responsibilities are confirmed in the quotation.
