WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SHOTCRETE FOR POOL CONSTRUCTION?
When building a new pool, you may be looking at options such as gunite or cast-in-place concrete construction. However, there are several benefits to using shotcrete for your pool.
- NThe concrete arrives already mixed which equates to less time onsite
- NThe shotcrete process is faster than other construction methods.
- NShotcrete produces higher production rates.
- NShotcrete requires less equipment.
- NEasy to add specialized admixtures
- NLess rebound and overspray
- NHigh compressive strength
- NBetter quality control
Remember that shotcrete means that you’re working with a wet concrete mix. For this wet mix process, you begin with thoroughly mixed concrete. Shotcrete uses compressed air to shoot the concrete through a hose. The concrete sprays out at such a high speed that it bonds to itself where it is applied. So, the entire process is easier with fewer construction costs.

Versatile
When it comes to concrete, no two structures are alike. You need a wet or dry concrete mixture that can conform to any layout or structural shape. You also need a solution that you can apply anywhere vertically or horizontally. Shotcrete is versatile. We can spray it on any surface to reinforce or enhance the structure.
Exceptional Customer Service
Traditional concrete application methods require more steps, more work, and more labor. It adds up to more cost for you. Shotcrete is easier to mix, transport, apply, and clean up. Since we save money on the process, you save money on the results.
Efficient Service
Cast-in-place concrete often must be applied by hand or using special tools. As a result, the process can take longer and involve complex steps. We spray on shotcrete using a special applicator. It’s easier to apply and saves you time on the project.
Sustainable Solutions and Less Waste
One of the misconceptions about shotcrete is that it doesn’t last long. However, you can expect shotcrete to last several decades when applied correctly, using advanced equipment and skilled shotcrete contractors. Keep in mind that you will need to maintain it after application. Fortunately, maintenance is easy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shotcrete
Is shotcrete versatile?
One of the biggest benefits is that shotcrete is that it is highly versatile. You can use it to design and create any pool shape. Best of all, it does not lose resiliency regardless of what pool design you have in mind.
Can you apply shotcrete over existing concrete when repairing a pool?
Again, shotcrete is made of standard concrete material and has the same adhering properties as standard concrete. The only difference is that it is pneumatically applied. The high pressure at which shotcrete is applied allows you to shoot over existing concrete and avoid cold joints. This makes shotcrete the perfect option when repairing or renovating existing swimming pools or other structures.
What kind of finish can I use shotcrete for?
Shotcrete doesn’t simply produce a gun / nozzle finish. It can be finished in almost any class, type, and tolerance. A sponge float, broom, Class A steel trowel, and architectural finishes are all attainable. Concrete finishes should be incorporated into the specification, and performed and approved as part of a mock-up prior to the start of a project.
What material is used in shotcrete?
Shotcrete is a mixture of aggregate, portland cement, and water, conveyed by compressed air to the nozzle of a spray gun. The wet mixture is then sprayed in place and may be carved or troweled almost immediately.
Is Shotcrete Right For My Project?
The range of shotcrete for a specific applications is based on information, understanding, and a careful study of all necessary and feasible material performances need in your project. The achievement of shotcrete for your application is contingent upon proper scheduling and administration, plus the skill and continuous attention provided by our shotcrete installers.
