Shotcrete in Newcastle

We apply shotcrete to stablise slopes, support excavations, and form structural surfaces. Concrete is sprayed under pressure, bonding directly to rock, soil, or existing concrete without formwork.

WHERE SHOTCRETE IS APPLIED

Shotcrete is used in areas where forming is not practical and where surfaces need immediate support. It is applied directly to the surface, allowing for fast coverage and strong adhesion.

Common applications include:

The process allows concrete to be placed accurately on vertical, curved, or uneven areas.

SHOTCRETE PROCESS

Shotcrete is sprayed through a hose with compressed air. The process allows for controlled placement without the use of traditional formwork.

STEPS:

The method forms a dense, uniform layer that sets quickly, supporting ground surfaces or adding structural layers.

DRY MIX AND WET MIX SHOTCRETE

DRY MIX

Cement and aggregate mixed dry; water added at the nozzle. Useful for remote areas or small-scale work.

WET MIX

All materials mixed with water before spraying. Suitable for larger surfaces and consistent output.

Each method ensures strong bonding and effective coverage, depending on project size and site access.

SHOTCRETE IN CONSTRUCTION AND MINING

Shotcrete is used in both surface and underground works where traditional forming is not possible. It is applied to:

This method provides a fast and controlled way to place concrete across varied environments.

GROUND STABILISATION WITH SHOTCRETE

Shotcrete stabilises ground that might shift, erode, or collapse. It is sprayed to create a strong surface layer that holds materials in place and reduces the risk of movement.

BENEFITS:

Shotcrete is often used in conjunction with mesh or reinforcement to improve support strength.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is shotcrete different from traditional concrete?

Shotcrete is sprayed under pressure and doesn’t need formwork. It adheres directly to surfaces and sets in place.

Yes, it adheres to vertical, curved, or uneven surfaces without support structures.

In many cases, mesh or fibres are added to improve structural support and surface strength.

Typically between 50mm to 150mm, but layers can be added based on-site requirements.
