Gunite & Shotcrete

---

Gunite & Shotcrete is the process of pneumatically applying concrete onto various surfaces at high velocity through two primary application methods – a wet and dry process.

​​There are two primary application methods: the wet process pumps mixed concrete through a hose to the nozzle where compressed air is added to provide high velocity for placement and consolidation; the dry process, commonly known as Gunite & Shotcrete, uses compressed air to blow pre-blended dry materials through a hose at high velocity to the nozzle, where water is added. The effects in most cases are almost identical.​

The materials used in both processes are generally the same as those used for conventional concrete—Portland cement, aggregates and water. Various additives can enhance strength and reduce cracking. As a result, Gunite & Shotcrete has high-strength, durability, low permeability, and excellent bonding characteristics. Gunite & Shotcrete applications also provide almost limitless possibilities for complex shaping and forming in new construction and renovation projects.

Other key benefits include:

• Little or no form work is required
• Cost-effective method for placing concrete
• Ideal for irregular surface applications
• Allows for easier material handling in areas with difficult access
• Prestige’s Gunite & Shotcrete operations deliver quality material and experienced crews to contractors throughout the state of Florida as well as North Carolina, California and the Bahamas.
