Ease
Shotcrete can be installed vertically or overhead with no form work.
Speed
Faster installation due to less form work, as much as 2-3 times faster.
Accuracy
More accurate installation because there is no liquid concrete weight to budge the forms.
Flexibility
Better concrete wall finishes, form and pour rely on forms or form liners, shotcrete and put any type of flat work finish on a wall.
Budget
Cost effective, shotcrete is typically less expensive or at least the same price as the alternative with a faster completion time.
Less Hassle
Shotcrete requires zero repair work after form removal.
Durability
Higher strengths, compaction is a by product of the application and compaction adds strength. Normal concrete mixes can hit over 6000 PSI regularly and with some modification we have achieved strengths as high as 12,000 PSI.
