Concrete is a well-known slope protection material, but in recent years, a new type of slope protection material, cement blanket, has replaced concrete in many projects. So, is cement blanket really effective? What are the reasons for replacing concrete with cement blanket?
1. Simple construction and short project duration
Installing a cement blanket only requires spreading it out and watering it to cure. An area of one hundred square meters can be protected in a single day.
2. Saves labor and material costs
Cement blanket installation does not require professional technicians; a few people can do the job. There is no need for mixers or other heavy machinery, saving costs on labor and equipment rental.
3. Reliable quality and good results
Cement blankets come with a minimum ten-year quality guarantee. Once hardened, their strength can reach 95% of concrete, and the internal fiber framework effectively prevents cracking and collapse.
