A Bit About Shotcrete
Shotcrete, or otherwise known as gunite, is a process of spraying concrete to form structures using a pneumatic hose. This is possibly by mixing the concrete such that the moisture content is low. Shotcrete is typically combined with steel rods or meshes to create strong structures.
Due to the nature of shotcrete, it can be used in a variety of conditions where typical concrete forms would be difficult or impossible. Shotcrete also has an added benefit of being very sculptable. The surfaces created with this material can be sculpted into different textures that can be both artistic or realistic.
A primary use for shotcrete is to reinforce slopes and walls.
These slopes and walls typically also use steel reinforcement in conjunction with sprayed concrete to make a tremendously stable structure. Shotcrete can be used to create a variety of different structures that include steps, pools, roofs, overhead arches, and much more.
