hempcrete Trials
     

 

Over the past 35 years Shotcrete Services has played a leading role in research and development of sprayed concrete processes which has resulted in sprayed concrete being the proven method of concrete placement that it is today.

In 1993 Shotcrete Services was selected by the European Commission to play a leading role in a research and development project concentrating on Shotcrete design and technology. More recently, in 2008 we conducted research and development trails with ‘hempcrete’. We continuously strive to identify new developments and improvements to our products and processes.

 

Over the years Shotcrete Services has been involved with the design and fabrication of specialist equipment which meets the demands of the industry. We have worked with plant manufacturers and have designed and built our own specialized equipment.

Through technology transfer arrangements with our product manufacturers we have developed the necessary retarders, stiffeners and fibers to compliment our sprayed concrete processes. Today the use of sprayed concrete additives are inherent in sprayed concrete application across the industry.

Shotcrete Services are currently involved with Loughborough University with the “mega scale free form construction” project.
