Shotcrete is concrete that is conveyed to the installation site in a hose, where it is applied pneumatically from a spray nozzle and compacted by the impact energy.

Application

• for repairing and reinforcing of concrete components
• for terrain and rock consolidation
• for temporary shoring at large construction sites and in tunnelling
• for creating nature-like surfaces on leisure and sport climbing facilities

Advantages

• No formwork or only one-sided formwork is required.
• Compaction after application of the concrete is not necessary.
• A very good adhesion is achieved.
• Application on vertical surfaces is possible.
• The largely void-free concrete is dense, resilient and protects the reinforcing steel it contains against corrosion.
