Shotcrete Services can offer a comprehensive package
to suit all forms of slope stabilisation. These can vary
from a simple reinforced over lay to prevent weathering
and erosion of the slope surface to complete structural
anchored or soil nailed solutions. The combined use of
soil nails/rock anchors with reinforced sprayed concrete
can provide a cost effective, fast solution for retaining
unstable excavated surfaces.
The use of steel fibres within the sprayed concrete mix
can eliminate the need for fixing fabric meshes to the
slope prior to the sprayed concrete application.
The shotcrete
system enables large cuttings to be constructed by excavating/anchoring/shocreting
in ‘benches’. The ‘bench’ height
will be dependent on the stability of the substrate material.
The option to use either the wet
or dry process provides versatility when undertaking
out of hours working either night shift or weekend
working which is of particular benefit to the rail
and road industries.
The surface of the completed sprayed
concrete can be coloured to provide an aesthetic finish
to blend with the surrounding area.
