Shotcreting, also known as sprayed concrete or gunite, is a construction technique that involves spraying a mixture of cement, aggregate, and water onto a surface using a high-velocity air stream. This process creates a layer of hardened concrete that provides structural support, erosion protection, or surface finishing. Shotcreting is commonly used in a variety of construction applications, including building foundations, tunnels, slopes, retaining walls, and repairs to existing structures.
Shotcreting requires skilled operators and specialised equipment, including a shotcrete nozzle and air compressor, to ensure proper application and quality control.
At Savinaya, we have expertise in designing and overseeing shotcreting applications to ensure that the technique is used effectively and safely in various geotechnical and construction projects.Whether you need shotcreting for a retaining wall, swimming pool, or tunnel, we will work with you to develop a solution that meets your exact requirements.
We use only the latest, state-of-the-art shotcreting equipment to ensure that our work is of the highest quality. Our equipment is well-maintained and regularly inspected to ensure that it is working at peak efficiency, which helps us to complete projects quickly and with minimal disruption.
Shotcreting Advantages:
Rapid Application
Erosion Protection
Flexibility in Shaping and Contouring
High Bond Strength to Existing Surfaces
FAQ's
Shotcreting offers greater flexibility, faster application, and higher bond strength to existing surfaces compared to traditional concrete. It is especially effective for complex or curved structures where formwork is difficult or expensive.
Yes, when done professionally like at Savinaya Infratech, shotcreting results in a high-strength, waterproof, and long-lasting surface. It withstands harsh environmental conditions and is widely used for both structural and protective applications.
We handle a wide range of projects including retaining walls, tunnels, swimming pools, slope stabilization, erosion control, and geotechnical structures. Our solutions are tailored for both commercial and infrastructure sectors.
Yes, we provide both dry-mix and wet-mix shotcreting methods. Wet-mix offers a more uniform finish, while dry-mix is ideal for smaller or specialized areas.
Our team conducts a site assessment to evaluate surface conditions, project scope, and structural needs. Based on this, we’ll recommend the most effective shotcreting approach.
Project duration varies based on size, surface complexity, and environmental factors. However, shotcreting is generally faster than conventional methods. We prioritize timely delivery with minimal disruption.
