What is Shotcrete?
Shotcrete is a sprayed concrete for repairing and reinforcing existing structures, as well as constructing new and temporary ones. It is often used to strengthen concrete floors and walls, repair bridges, build dams, and construct tunnels.
The wet mix process involves mixing the ingredients with water to form a mortar, which is then sprayed through a nozzle onto the surface. The dry mix process involves pre-mixing the ingredients and then spraying mix onto the surface, where it is then hydrated with water.
Omega Ready Mix provides a variety of shotcrete applications for residential, commercial, and industrial construction in Calgary. Our crews are trained for providing quality workmanship on every job we complete. We use only the latest methods and material, combined with the best practices in the industry.
