We Do It All

Swimming Pool Shells

 

Benefits of Sprayed Concrete Pools

  1. Design Flexibility: Sprayed concrete can be applied directly on-site, allowing pools to be shaped and sized to suit any design, offering a high level of customization.
     
  2. Durability and Strength: The high-pressure application compacts the concrete, creating a dense, strong, and durable shell that resists cracking and wear over time.
     
  3. Waterproofing: The continuous, seamless surface eliminates joints — a common weak point in traditional concrete pools — and with the right admixtures, the structure can be made completely waterproof.
     
  4. Faster and More Cost-Effective: Sprayed concrete is quicker to apply than traditional poured methods, with the shell often ready for finishing within five days. This reduces both labor costs and project timelines.
     
  5. Access to Challenging Sites: The flexibility of the hose makes it possible to apply concrete in hard-to-reach areas, such as tight spaces or elevated sites, where traditional pouring techniques may not be feasible.

Concrete Pumping

  For projects with limited access, narrow spaces, or tight budgets, a line concrete pump is a more agile and affordable option compared to a boom pump. They are perfect for residential or smaller 

commercial jobs where a concrete truck can't reach the pour site, and their flexible hoses can be easily navigated around obstacles. 

 

We operate Putzmeister 715 and 718 stationary concrete pumps, suitable for a wide range of tasks:


  • Putzmeister 715: Handles fine concrete (up to 16 mm grain size), shotcrete, and liquid/self-leveling screed — ideal for high-rise, tunneling, and infrastructure projects.


  • Putzmeister 718: Pumps concrete with a grain size of up to 32 mm — perfect for large-scale or high-demand applications.

Another use of sprayed concrete in the civil engineering industry is the covering of piled walls. Th

Contiguous Pilling/Basements

  

Sprayed concrete (or shotcrete) is commonly applied over piles due to its cost-effectiveness and speed. By eliminating the need for traditional, complex formwork, it offers a rapid application that results in a strong, durable, and monolithic lining. This makes it particularly valuable in projects involving complex geometries, tight spaces, or where immediate ground support is necessary.

In applications like slope stabilization, reinforcing gaps between piles, or constructing structurally sound walls, sprayed concrete provides a quick and efficient method of achieving stability. It is especially useful when dealing with difficult-to-reach areas or conditions that demand instant reinforcement, such as in underground or coastal projects. The resulting surface is continuous, offering a high degree of strength and durability, essential for withstanding environmental stresses and loads.

Benefits of Sprayed Concrete for Slope Stabilization

  1. Speed and Efficiency:
    Sprayed concrete can be applied rapidly, even on steep or irregular slopes. This is particularly advantageous in emergency stabilization scenarios, helping to reduce project timelines and prevent further ground movement.
     
  2. Adaptability:
    It easily conforms to complex and uneven surfaces, ensuring complete coverage where traditional cast-in-place concrete would be challenging or impractical to use.
     
  3. Cost-Effectiveness:
    The method requires minimal formwork and less labor compared to conventional concreting techniques, resulting in lower overall construction costs.
     
  4. Durability and Strength:
    When applied under high pressure, sprayed concrete forms a dense, high-strength layer with excellent early and final strength characteristics. This provides long-term structural integrity and resistance to environmental stresses.
     
  5. Erosion and Weather Protection:
    The hardened concrete surface acts as a durable, weatherproof barrier, protecting the underlying slope from erosion, wind, and water infiltration.
     
  6. Reinforcement Capability:
    When combined with steel mesh, fibers, or rock bolts, sprayed concrete greatly enhances the slope’s stability. It helps to bind loose materials and prevent rockfalls or surface failures.
     
  7. Water Control:
    The impermeable layer created by sprayed concrete limits water infiltration, reducing the risk of internal erosion or softening of soil and rock, which can lead to instability.
     
  8. Accessibility:
    Its flexible application process makes it ideal for use in hard-to-reach or confined areas, such as high or steep slopes, where conventional construction methods are difficult to implement.
     
  9. Versatility:
    Sprayed concrete can be used as a standalone stabilization method or integrated with complementary techniques—such as soil nailing, rock anchoring, or drainage systems—for a more comprehensive and resilient slope support solution.
