We Simplify the Concrete Application Process
Dry Process (Gunite)
In some applications, pre-blended dry or semi-dampened materials are loaded into the sprayer, then sprayed at high velocity out of the nozzle while simultaneously adding water to it. This method consolidates on the surface by the high-impact velocity.
However, since this process requires as much as 2-3 months or more to cure, and the risk of weak spots is higher due to less rebound material formed, we at United Shotcrete, recommend using the wet process as described below.
Wet Process (Shotcrete)
The wet process includes mixing all aggregates and admixtures, including water, at the plant before arriving to the job site. We then pump the wet mixture into the nozzle, where compressed air is introduced to provide high velocity placing and consolidating the material onto the receiving surface.
Since Shotcrete is pre-mixed, it takes less time to apply and the coating is stronger and more consistent.

Shotcrete New Construction Applications
Ground & Underground Support
We use shotcrete to stabilize soil for excavation, tunneling, and mining. It provides early ground support after blasting or excavating and early strength development, which provides flexibility to allow for ground stabilization. Shotcrete conforms to the natural ground without formwork, which makes it ideal for any round support project.
Tunneling
Shotcrete is ideal for reinforcing tunnel walls and stabilizing previously-excavated areas within a tunneling project. As such, shotcrete has become valuable in the tunneling industry. Shotcrete reduces installed costs and optimizes mix designs for all types of tunneling jobs.
Foundations
Shotcrete enforces temporary and permanent foundations. It may be employed to stabilize an excavation for an underground parking structure or hi-rise buildings during construction. It provides a large waterproof enclosure in which we erect a structure.
Architectural Landscaping
Our contractors can work with you to build attractive landscaping in your home or business. We use shotcrete to create a natural-looking layout that covers sculptured, textured, or stained surfaces to blend in with the environment.
