Shotcrete Pools

​What is shotcrete? In short, shotcrete is a unique process of applying concrete. Shotcrete produces high-quality concrete properties such as high strength, high durability, and excellent bonding. The process of “wet mix” shotcrete is delivering concrete from a ready mix truck to a shotcrete pump machine hopper which then the concrete is pneumatically delivered through a rubber hose at high pressure. At the end of the hose is a nozzle which yet has another separate air compressor hose connected to it blowing high-pressure air into the concrete so that concrete can be applied to flat, horizontal, and even over head surfaces at high velocity. Shooting concrete with the right mix and at high pressure produces superior bonding, high strength, and makes the most sense financially. Shotcrete has a much wider range of application such as applying to hard to reach spots and applying to complex shapes while also being economically sound when compared to other conventional concrete application methods such using forms, vibrating, or using heavy messy machinery such as dumps or cranes.
