CEC Supply and Install ACB.
Flexamat and Cable Concrete by the Canadian Erosion & Containment (CEC) team has installed 1000s of m2 across Alberta and British Columbia.
Flexamat:
What Is It?: Flexamat is a vegetated concrete block mat designed for erosion control and stabilization.
How It Works:
Concrete blocks (each measuring 6.5" x 6.5" with a 2.25" profile) are locked together and embedded into a high-strength geogrid.
There’s a 1.5-inch spacing between the blocks, allowing flexibility and optional vegetation growth.
The mat comes in convenient rolls for efficient transport and installation 1.
Extensively tested by engineering departments at three universities 3.
Applications:
Riverbank Armoring: Protecting steep riverbanks against erosion.
Shoreline Armoring: Stabilizing shorelines.
Cable Concrete®:
What Is It?: Cable Concrete® is an Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) system connected by cables.
How It Works:
Each individual block can flex and adapt to the terrain of the ground.
Available in four different thicknesses, providing stability economically.
Applications:
Streambanks: Preventing erosion along streambanks.
Shorelines: Stabilizing shorelines against water action.
Channels: Reinforcing channels to prevent scour.
The CEC’s expertise and these innovative products have significantly impacted the protection of our environment. Kudos to their commitment!
Make it stand out.

Flexamat
. Flexamat is a remarkable solution for erosion control and stabilization. It’s like a superhero cape for slopes, channels, and shorelines!
Here’s the lowdown on Flexamat:
What Is It?: Flexamat is a vegetated concrete block mat designed to stabilize slopes, channels, low water crossings, inlet/outlet protection, and shorelines. Imagine concrete blocks (each measuring 6.5" x 6.5" with a 2.25" profile) locked together and embedded into a high-strength geogrid. These blocks have a spacing of 1.5 inches, allowing for optional vegetation growth. The mat comes in convenient rolls for efficient transport and installation.
Why It’s Awesome:
Low Maintenance: Once installed, Flexamat requires minimal upkeep.
Reduced Costs: It’s a cost-effective solution for erosion control.
Permanent: Flexamat doesn’t play hide-and-seek; it stays put!
Featured Case Study: Premier Country Club Streambank Armoring. Flexamat flexed its muscles to protect streambanks and keep things stable.

Cable Concrete
Cable Concrete®: The Articulating Concrete Block System
Cable Concrete® is like a superhero cape for erosion control and stabilization. Here’s what you need to know:
What Is It?
Cable Concrete® is an Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) system that’s all about flexibility and adaptability.
Each individual block is connected by cables, allowing it to flex and conform to the natural terrain of the ground.
These interconnected blocks come in four different thicknesses, catering to various project requirements while maintaining stability.
How Does It Work?
Imagine a puzzle of concrete blocks, each with its own cable connections.
When installed, these blocks interlock, creating a robust and flexible surface.
The system adapts to changes in ground elevation, water flow, and environmental conditions.
Why Is It Awesome?
Stability: Cable Concrete® provides the necessary stability for slopes, channels, shorelines, and low water crossings.
Economic: It’s a cost-effective solution for erosion control.
Eco-Friendly: The blocks allow vegetation growth, promoting a harmonious blend of nature and engineering.
Extensive Testing
Cable Concrete® has undergone rigorous testing by engineering departments at three prestigious universities:
The University of Windsor, Ontario
The University of Colorado
The University of Minnesota
Applications
Streambanks: Protecting streambanks from erosion.
Shorelines: Stabilizing shorelines against wave action.
Channels: Reinforcing channels to prevent scour.
Slopes: Taming unruly slopes.
Remember, when it comes to erosion control, Cable Concrete® steps up to the challenge, combining strength, flexibility, and environmental harmony.
