Shotcrete and Gunite application refers to the pneumatic application of concrete onto a surface at high velocity. Shotcrete is the wet application, in which mixed concrete is sprayed at high velocity on a surface. Gunite refers to the process by which pre-blended dry materials are mixed with water as they are sprayed. Both processes produce virtually identical results and depending on the project can provide a number of invaluable benefits.

Shotcrete and Gunite are ideal for both new construction and renovation projects and allow for easy, cost-effective concrete application for even the most complex projects. Shotcrete and Gunite have unmatched bonding characteristics and produce concrete applications that are strong and durable with low permeability.

We are specialists in shotcrete application for engineering related fields such as: mining, oil + gas and rail sectors as well as civil, commercial and architecture projects. This often includes concrete applications such as: retaining walls, slope stabilisation, dam spillways, drainage and tunnels.

NewmoonQatar’s excellent reputation is in part, due to our commitment to sustainable business practices. More and more organizations are driving business practices based on sustainability. For this reason, shotcrete can be the right choice for our clients’ projects.

No matter the complexity of the job, our team of Shotcrete technicians and project managers are committed to completing the job in a safe and efficient manner from the pre-planning phase through completion. Our technicians are experts when integrating new shotcrete materials with existing infrastructure and construction. Our team has the expertise, experience, and training to effectively apply shotcrete to bridges, parking garages, marines, sewers, reservoirs, and more.

What Is Shotcrete Used For?

The shotcrete process works ideally for a range of applications, including but not limited to:

• Structural concrete
• Retaining Walls
• Canals
• Concrete repair
• Tunnels
• Water features, reservoirs, sea walls and pools
• Silos – repair and new builds
• Skate parks
• Piers
• Lateral support

Shotcrete and Gunite Benefits

• Reduce concrete application costs
• Allow easy vertical application
• Take the complexity out of irregular surface applications
• Require little to no form work, unlike poured concrete
• Easy material handling difficulties, especially in limited access areas
• How to apply
