 More about Gunite

 Gunite is “aggregate conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity on to almost any surface”.

Unlike conventional concrete that is first placed, and then vibrated in a second operation, gunite undergoes placement and compaction at the same time due to the force with which it is projected from the nozzle. Because of this, it is more dense, homogeneous, strong and waterproof than any other process.

Gunite is not constrained by needing forms. It can be impacted onto any type of shape of surface, including vertical or overhead.

Properly applied, gunite has excellent structural strength, high shear capability and outstanding durability. Testing has indicated that compressive strengths in excess of 30mpa and up to 75mpa are readily achievable.

Applications of Gunite:

- Restoration and repair – bridges, foundations, walls, parking garages, canals, Silos

- New construction – buildings, pools, tanks, domes

- Reinforcements – slopes, seawalls, piers

- Lateral Support – Foundations, Embankments

- Corrosion protection – supports, piping

- Architectural – zoos, theme parks, churches, special environments

- Mining – sealing, stabilizing 

- Silos & Shafts - High Strength (75mpa) Wear Linings

- Tunneling – primary support, finished linings
