“The wall was then draped with mesh and steel reinforcing bars and shored with a layer of shotcrete, which is a type of concrete sprayed on at high pressure.”
“Linbeck's team decided that utilizing a pneumatically-applied system of spraying concrete, commonly known as 'shotcrete', would save considerable time and money over the more traditional cast-in-place method for installing concrete retaining walls.”
“Anyone have any ideas as to the method .. cast? shotcrete over forms? zEro on 15 Feb 2009 at 4: 01 pm #”
“These computer-generated forms were physically achieved by employing shotcrete, a form of concrete that is pneumatically projected into shaped reinforcement -- a method commonly used to make swimming pools.”

“ARS 32-1158.01 does set out requirements for a pool contract, but that does not require that the contractor get the money up-front but does allow a contractor to charge for construction in stages up to 30% when the hole is dug; 30% when the shotcrete and plumbing are in; and 30% when the deck is in.”
“We are developing a specialty concrete for shotcrete and overlay applications.”
“The smooth side of this wall is actually shotcrete, a spray-on concrete.”
“Anyone in the Chapala area who is interested can watch the foam home in Las Brisas get sprayed with shotcrete.”

bilby Generally firmer in texture than snotcrete, though the application method - pneumatically projected at high velocity from the nozzle - is remarkably similar. Mar 14, 2013
amirtyz From Wikipedia:
Shotcrete is concrete (or sometimes mortar) conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface, as a construction technique.
Shotcrete is usually an all-inclusive term that can be used for both wet-mix and dry-mix versions. In the pool construction trade however, the term "shotcrete" refers to wet-mix and "gunite" refers to dry-mix; in this context, these two terms are not interchangeable (see "Shotcrete vs. gunite" discussion below).
Shotcrete undergoes placement and compaction at the same time due to the force with which it is projected from the nozzle. It can be impacted onto any type or shape of surface, including vertical or overhead areas.
