Shotcrete (Gunite)
Building a Better Tomorrow, One Partnership at a Time
At Darat, we are proud to offer a superior alternative to concrete, known as shotcrete or gunite.
Shotcrete is a method where concrete is sprayed through a specialized nozzle at a much higher velocity than cast-in-place concrete. We provide this method because we take into consideration challenging projects that include areas with low accessibility or complex designs, and if you believe your project or a part of it incorporates one of these elements, then shotcrete is your best bet.
Shotcrete (gunite) has many advantages over traditional concrete, including the following:
Expedited Construction Times
The velocity of shotcrete applied through the specialized nozzle is much higher than that of standard concrete, which can significantly reflect the project’s execution time and cost.
Flexible Applications
Shotcrete is suitable for complex shapes, surfaces, and structures, such as vertical and overhead surfaces, along with areas of poor accessibility.
Economically Feasible
Shotcrete follows a more efficient approach in terms of placement methods, as it is known for its minimal formwork requirements.
Durable Results
Shotcrete has the ability to withstand harsh environments, including direct exposure to water and various chemicals.
