In 1978 British Engineer Roger Manning developed the ‘wet process shotcrete spraying system‘. His aim was to achieve high quality concrete placement that would compete with traditional shuttered concrete on price and strength but give designers and contractors a greater versatility in concept and construction method. In early days credibility was difficult to establish but today Shotcrete Services has an enviable track record both in the UK and overseas.
After graduating from University in 1993, Roger’s son, Stuart, joined the company and became Managing Director in 1999.
The company has won the
Concrete Society overall merit award in 2004 for the Selfidges
Building Birmingham and 2009 for
the Darwin Cocoon.
Stuart is currently Chairman of the
Sprayed Concrete Association and continues to promote sprayed
concrete within the industry
