Spray Applied Concrete - Shotcrete Solutions
Spray Applied Concrete (sometimes referred to as Shotcrete) is concrete pneumatically projected onto a surface at high velocity. It is typically blown through a hand-held nozzle, after all the ingredients are mixed to project specifications. CEMEX has a unique design process for spray applied concrete using a silo solution that minimises rebound and is compliant to the industry specifications.
CEMEX Sprayed concrete is designed by blending separately controlled aggregate sources to produce a product with an ideal grading curve to minimize rebound. All the raw materials are delivered into a batch weighed process complete with Cement (CEM I), microsilica, steel fibres and special admixtures – the result is a very high grade lining concrete.
Benefits
- DSM for spray applied concrete / shotcrete - all materials including admixtures and steel fibres contained in the silo
- Giga mixer units are provided as part of the solution suitable for mix with outputs of up to 10.0 m3 per hour.
