Shotcrete

Shotcrete is concrete that is pneumatically projected at a high velocity onto a surface. It is a versatile and economical choice compared to cast-in-place concrete; however it requires a very high degree of skill on the part of the field crew.   In an effort to offer standardized high quality shotcrete service, ABE has several American Shotcrete Association certified nozzlemen. These nozzlemen have the requisite experience for certification and have passed a written and field examination of their placement skill. At ABE we continue in-house training for field crews, improvement with new shotcrete equipment, mix designs and finishes. Since beginning this service line, ABE has self-performed the placement of several hundred thousand square feet of shotcrete in earth retention applications. In addition, we have used shotcrete in underpinning applications and performed overhead shotcrete work.
