My hub works 4 shotcrete Co, & you wouldn't BELIEVE some of the "rocks" hes brought home over the yrs. We have one heavy petrified log in my flowerbeds. Once a geode at least 3' in width. Talk abt HEAVY! WE enjoy his findings once a pool is dug out!! 🤜🏻🤛🏿💯🎯💥

Maybe for the stairs, but not for the platforms. Which are also coldish and humid has hell because they are mined in hard rock and only finished with shotcrete.

Once the shotcrete is up, the waterproofing process starts. This first layer is part of a drain system with pea gravel in the lower corners.

My husband is a shotcrete project manager & nossleman. Hes 61 ^ doing manual skilled labor his entire life. The bottom 2 pics are of Taylor Sheridans horse pool at his new ranch in Weatherford, TX. Its hot as heck installing concrete in TX. Not for the faint of heart. 👷🏼♂️👷🏽♂️👷🏾♂️

Press X to doubt.
They’re laying out a foundation, trying rebar, and shotcreting a non-trivial square footage with a pump truck and shotcrete setup, custom bent rebar in a 6-12” spacing, with a pumpable, fine aggregate (shot), high early strength concrete mix that is shrink compensated. For $5k.

Drivers have been left stranded for up to four hours in Sydney’s M4 motorway tunnel within the WestConnex, after fears of a concrete roof collapse which saw the closure of all westbound lanes.
About 6am on Thursday morning, Transport for NSW advised the tunnel was closed westbound between Haberfield and North Strathfield due to “emergency roadworks”. Continue reading...

Shotcrete is a sprayed concrete or mortar conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface. It's typically reinforced by conventional steel rods, steel mesh, or fibres.

would def save time without having to cut & sew tyvec & inflate with bouncy castle 🏰 blower then rebar then aircrete via compressor shotcrete sprayer
but the cat that made the tyvek airform says if done correctly then you can peel the airform off & reuse ♻️ it = dome molecule a little quicker.

Given the massive embodied carbon emissions of concrete, there are some low-carbon options to achieve that amorphous shape (that you might be looking for with shotcrete.)
@geoship.bsky.social is a wonder material;
Plus there’s the whole mass timber route.
Let me know how I can help!

Spraying dry shotcrete. Trading back and forth with the other 'certified nozzle man'. The shotcrete makes a noise as it travels through the hose and then makes a crahing noise as it is projected onto the substrate. The regular breathing of the shotcrete pump lulled me to sleep numerous times.

Apropos of absolutely nuthin:
TIL 'shotcrete,' a sprayed concrete.
1950. Blend of shot + (con)crete. So named because it's shot through a hose onto harder-to-pour surfaces.
Another term for 'gunite' (1912), originally a trademark. Based on gun + -ite. Think 'cement gun.'
