The Many Benefits of Shotcrete

There are a lot of things to consider when preparing for a construction project. What material will you use? Which company will provide the services? How long will the project take? How much will the project cost? SSG Shotcrete performs shotcrete installation because we considered all of these questions and more from a home/facility owner’s perspective. We found that shotcrete is a superior process for a wide variety of projects, such as basement stabilization, dam repairs and concrete installation. Shotcrete is a stronger, more reliable and less expensive process than any other in the field of construction. Why? We’ve detailed a few of the key benefits of shotcrete in this blog.

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.

Says Who?

We understand that you may need to perform a lot more research. Shotcrete can often sound too good to be true. Please contact us with any direct questions or to schedule a call with one of our shotcrete experts to evaluate your project.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US

Our Work Brings Great Reviews

 

“They build a gorgeous pool. The finished product is exactly what I wanted. I came very close to working with another vendor as I did not think I could afford a quality Gunite pool. I quickly made the switch as SSG worked with me to customize a pool within my price range. Best decision I made and best pool ever! I am very happy with my decision”

 

– Susan L. | Facebook Review

“These folks did a great job building and finishing our pool. We also needed them to move the equipment after adding an outbuilding, which they did on time and on budget and without complaining! The service people are friendly, punctual, and very professional. Overall, an excellent customer experience.”
