Shotcrete (sprayed concrete) delivers high-performance concrete directly onto surfaces, making it ideal for complex shapes, vertical applications, and rapid repairs. Fortune Chemicals’ shotcrete admixture systems enhance adhesion, build strength fast, and reduce rebound for cleaner, faster work.

Shotcrete: Speed, Strength, and Precision on Vertical Surfaces
-
Why Shotcrete Matters
Traditional formwork can be slow and expensive for tunnels, slopes, and complex geometries. Shotcrete eliminates most formwork, applying concrete pneumatically for speed, shape control, and structural performance.
-
Types & Methods
- Dry-Mix Shotcrete: Dry materials conveyed; water added at nozzle—great for quick repairs and overhead work.
- Wet-Mix Shotcrete: Ready mixed with water—higher output, consistent quality, less dust.
-
