ITL Reinforced Concrete Roll®

Slope and Erosion Protection

Unrolled Concrete for Slope
and Erosion Applications

In cases where conventional concrete is cost-prohibitive for slope or erosion protection, ITL Reinforced Concrete Roll® (RCR®) provides a geosynthetic cementitious composite mat (GCCM) as a sturdy, flexible, and more cost-effective solution. 

 

This composite concrete product unrolls for efficient installation and provides slope and erosion protection with long-term durability.

Product Performance

A secure and high-strength product, RCR® can withstand very high volumes of rain or snowmelt without becoming damaged. With proper anchoring, RCR® has the strength and pliability to provide erosion protection for extreme slope conditions.

RCR® Applications

RCR® can be applied to:

  • Underpasses where traditional concrete is used to prevent erosion and sloughing of sloped soils
  • Bioswales, for high-volume stormwater runoff 
  • Erosion-prone areas around lakes and bodies of salt water (Note: RCR® can be hydrated with fresh water as well as salt water.)

Composition and Dimensions



RCR® is composed of three layers: a top geotextile layer, a dry concrete powder, and a bottom geotextile layer, forming a sturdy GCCM. 

 

Both 7mm (ITL RCR-7®) and 12mm (ITL RCR-12®) thicknesses are offered, each in a standard roll size of 5m wide (approximately 16 ft., 4 in.) x 20m long (approximately  65 ft., 7 in.).

Efficient Installation

Compared to traditional concrete installations, RCR® can be installed significantly faster.

After unrolling the GCCM according to installation instructions, hydrate the material and allow time for the concrete to cure. Minimal equipment is required.

Long-term Stability and Warranty

RCR® doesn’t require regular replacement like other erosion-control products and has a 30-year pro-rated manufacturer warranty.

The price depends on project scope. Contact us for a personalized quote.

There are two options: the ITL RCR-7® (7mm thickness) and ITL RCR-12® (12mm thickness). ITL RCR-7® is best used for limited-traffic weight and for applications such as canal liners and erosion control. ITL RCR-12® is for vehicle or equipment traffic (with proper subgrade) and offers a solution for temporary roads and drive-over swales.

Standard roll sizes are 5m wide x 20m long (approximately 16 ft., 4 in. x 65 ft., 7 in.). Custom sizes are available with additional lead time. ITL RCR-7® weighs 1,700 lbs. per roll. ITL RCR-12® weighs 2,800 lbs. per roll.

Yes. RCR® has a 30-year pro-rated warranty.
