When it comes to designing and building long-lasting pools, shotcrete is a top choice among pool builders. The versatility of shotcrete allows us to create concrete pools in virtually any shape or size. This means you have endless possibilities to bring your unique pool in your backyard to life.
#1. Seamless & Beautiful
One of the key advantages of shotcrete pools is the absence of cold joints, a common issue in concrete construction. Since the shotcrete must be applied continuously, it eliminates the risk of cold joints, leading to a more durable and seamless concrete pool shell.
Moreover, the pre-mixed shotcrete we use is prepared at a concrete plant and delivered directly to the site in a cement truck, ensuring consistency in the concrete formula and saving on excess material.
#2. Long-Lasting & Durable
Gunite and shotcrete pools are both types of inground pools built using a concrete and sand mixture. However, while gunite requires a dry mix method where water is added to the nozzle, shotcrete involves a wet mix method where all the ingredients are mixed before being pumped through the hose. This not only makes the shotcrete construction process smoother but also contributes to the strength and longevity of the pool.
#3. Cost Effective
It’s true that shotcrete is more expensive than gunite initially. However, the long-term benefits of shotcrete, including its superior durability and minimal maintenance requirements, make it a cost-effective choice in the long run. Our experienced crew at BAM Shotcrete has the skills and knowledge to deliver a high-quality shotcrete pool that will serve you for decades.
