Introduction There are several factors and mistakes that you must avoid when it comes to shotcrete application.
Adding Too Much Water One of the common mistakes many people and professionals make with their concrete application is adding water in excess. The water-cement ratio is an extremely delicate matter, which is why this ratio needs to be followed accurately.
Not Maintaining Temperature Temperature plays an important role in the shotcrete method. The normal ratio of shotcrete materials can be applied when the temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius and less than 37 degrees Celsius.
Not Cleaning The Surface It is important to eliminate the residue on the surface, which helps better adhere the shotcrete mixture to the surface.
Incorrect Equipment Setup Special care must be taken while setting up the equipment, the palm should be positioned close to the nozzle to ensure the entire process runs smoothly.
Conclusion Assuring the quality of the shotcrete method is necessary. Avoiding mistakes such as the ones above can help you get the best results with high strength and long-lasting durability. Therefore, special care must be taken while performing shotcrete applications.
