Shotcrete & Gunite

Pneumatically applied concrete for structural and non-structural applications. Shotcrete (wet-mix) and gunite (dry-mix) are placed at high velocity, creating dense, bonded concrete in forms, on slopes, or against existing surfaces.

Common Applications

  • Retaining walls and slope stabilization
  • Tunnel linings and underground structures
  • Pool and water feature construction
  • Bridge abutments and pier encasement
  • Structural overlays and encapsulation

Key Considerations

  • Wet-mix vs. dry-mix selection depends on project scale and access
  • Nozzleman skill directly affects placement quality
  • Rebound management and waste planning
  • Reinforcement detailing and bar clearances
  • Curing protocols and weather exposure

Decision Factors

  • Site access and equipment positioning
  • Required compressive strength and finish
  • Timeline and mobilization requirements
  • Environmental conditions during placement
  • Specification compliance (ACI 506)

Concrete Repair

Restoration and rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete structures. Targets spalling, cracking, delamination, corrosion-related damage, and surface defects to restore structural capacity and extend service life.

Common Applications

  • Parking garage slab and beam repair
  • Bridge deck and substructure rehabilitation
  • Industrial floor restoration
  • Balcony and plaza deck repairs
  • Foundation crack injection

Key Considerations

  • Root cause analysis before repair selection
  • Compatibility of repair material with substrate
  • Corrosion mitigation for exposed reinforcement
  • Surface preparation quality and bond testing
  • Access, phasing, and occupied-building logistics

Decision Factors

  • Extent and depth of deterioration
  • Structural vs. cosmetic repair priorities
  • Budget and service life expectations
  • Downtime tolerance and phasing needs
  • Long-term maintenance planning

Protective Coatings

Barrier and surface protection systems for concrete exposed to moisture, chemicals, abrasion, or environmental attack. Includes epoxy, polyurethane, polyurea, and cementitious coating systems.

Common Applications

  • Waterproofing membranes for below-grade walls
  • Chemical-resistant floor coatings
  • Traffic-bearing deck coatings
  • Anti-carbonation coatings
  • Secondary containment linings

Key Considerations

  • Substrate moisture content and prep requirements
  • Exposure environment (chemical, UV, abrasion)
  • Coating system compatibility and layering
  • Application temperature and humidity windows
  • Manufacturer specifications and warranty terms

Decision Factors

  • Performance requirements and service life
  • Surface prep access and method constraints
  • Cure time and return-to-service timeline
  • VOC and environmental compliance
  • Maintenance and recoat scheduling

Structural Reinforcement

Supplemental strengthening systems for concrete structures requiring increased load capacity, seismic resilience, or code compliance upgrades. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), steel plating, and post-tensioning solutions.

Common Applications

  • Column wrapping for seismic retrofit
  • Beam and slab strengthening with CFRP
  • Load capacity upgrades for change-of-use
  • External post-tensioning
  • Shear and flexural strengthening

Key Considerations

  • Structural engineering analysis and design review
  • Existing reinforcement mapping
  • Fire protection requirements for FRP
  • Surface preparation and adhesive bond quality
  • Load testing and verification protocols

Decision Factors

  • Required strength gain and code path
  • Aesthetic and clearance constraints
  • Installation disruption and access
  • Cost comparison with replacement
  • Long-term inspection and monitoring needs

Commercial Concrete

New construction concrete services for commercial, institutional, and light industrial projects. Foundations, slabs, structural elements, and site concrete — from forming through finishing.

Common Applications

  • Slab-on-grade and post-tensioned slabs
  • Foundations and grade beams
  • Elevated decks and suspended slabs
  • Loading docks and equipment pads
  • Curb, gutter, and site flatwork

Key Considerations

  • Mix design coordination with structural engineer
  • Forming system selection and tolerances
  • Placement sequencing and pour planning
  • Joint layout and control joint detailing
  • Finish specifications and flatness (FF/FL)

Decision Factors

  • Project schedule and concrete volume
  • Reinforcement complexity and congestion
  • Weather and seasonal placement conditions
  • Quality control and testing requirements
  • Coordination with other trades

Retaining Walls

Earth retention systems for site development, infrastructure, and slope management. Design-build and build-to-spec approaches for gravity walls, cantilever systems, soil nail walls, and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE).

Common Applications

  • Highway and roadway cut/fill retention
  • Building site grading and terracing
  • Waterfront and channel walls
  • Temporary shoring and excavation support
  • Landslide remediation

Key Considerations

  • Geotechnical conditions and soil analysis
  • Drainage design and hydrostatic pressure
  • Surcharge loads and seismic forces
  • Aesthetic requirements and finish options
  • Long-term monitoring and maintenance

Decision Factors

  • Wall height and retained soil conditions
  • Right-of-way and property line constraints
  • Design life and durability expectations
  • Permitting and regulatory requirements
  • Cost vs. performance trade-offs
