Shotcrete is a method of applying concrete or mortar through a hose at high velocity onto a surface. This process allows for the material to be compacted and shaped efficiently, making it ideal for complex structures and repairs. There are two primary methods: wet-mix and dry-mix shotcrete.
In the wet-mix process, all ingredients (cement, aggregate, and water) are mixed before being pumped through the hose. This method is known for its consistency and ease of application.
In the dry-mix process, the dry ingredients are mixed and transported through the hose, with water added at the nozzle. This allows for greater control over the water content and is often used in applications requiring a higher degree of precision.
Shotcrete is versatile and used in various applications, including:
