    This document discusses the use of shotcrete/gunite for infrastructure rehabilitation projects. Shotcrete/gunite involves pneumatically projecting a cement mixture onto a surface at high velocity. It can be used to repair bridges, dams, sewers, retaining walls, and other structures. Some benefits of shotcrete/gunite include cost savings compared to replacement, low environmental impact, and minimal traffic disruption during projects. The document provides examples of using shotcrete to rehabilitate corrugated steel pipes and brick sewers.

    Utilizing Shotcrete and Gunite for

    Infrastructure Rehabilitation
    Shotcrete/Gunite
    Pneumatically applied mixture of
    cement, aggregate, and water
    conveyed through a hose and
    projected at high velocity onto
    the application surface.
    Bridges / Dams
    Sewer
    Sanitary
    Storm (Culverts / Basins)
    Headwalls / Wing Walls

    Piers / Docks
    Ditches
    Retaining Walls
    Scope Stabilization
    Shotcrete in which all of the ingredients, except
    accelerator, are mixed before introduction into
    the delivery hose.
    Definition of Wet Mix Shotcrete
    Accelerator, if used, is added to the shotcrete
    mixture at the nozzle in such a way that the
    quantity can be properly regulated and
    monitored.
    Shotcrete (Wet Mix)
    Pre mix blend of dry cement and aggregate is
    propelled through a hose by compressed air to
    a nozzle.
    Gunite Equipment

    Dry Mix: Water is added to the cement/aggregate
    mixture at the nozzle and the mixed ingredients are
    projected onto the application surface.
    Accelerators can be added at
    the nozzle when required.
    Fibers (Steel or Poly) can also be
    used.
