CC Sandbag Reinforcement
The British Army is using Concrete Canvas to upgrade frontline sandbag defences in Afghanistan. The Canvas has been proven to prevent 
the degradation of sandbags from sustained incoming fi re, outgoing muzzle fl ash and environmental exposure. A sandbag wall protected by 
Concrete Canvas easily withstood 900 rounds of 7.62 NATO, fi red by a GPMG LR at a range of 100m. The wall showed little damage and 
negligible loss of fi ll. An identical unprotected sandbag wall was comprehensively destroyed in the same test. Live fi re testing did not succeed 
in destroying the Concrete Canvas protected wall. Similar fi eld tests conducted by the British Army in Afghanistan led to an order for 5500sqm 
for use in Forward Operating Bases.
