Licensed & Experienced Shotcrete Contractor

Professional Shotcrete Shoring Services

BAM Shotcrete can tackle a wide variety of shotcrete shoring projects. With over 45 years of experience, we are committed to providing superior customer service at competitive prices.

Shotcrete shoring involves the application of shotcrete, a form of sprayed concrete, to create a supportive wall or structure. This method is used primarily when soil or rock needs to be retained to prevent collapse or erosion, particularly during excavation and construction projects.

To reinforce the perimeter of the project area, shotcrete shoring uses sprayed concrete (shotcrete). Many of our shoring projects also include pipe piles, seismic anchors and permanent shotcrete walls.

Shotcrete Shoring Questions

What is shotcrete shoring?

Shotcrete shoring is a construction technique where shotcrete (pneumatically sprayed concrete) is applied to create a supportive and stabilizing wall or structure. This method is primarily used for retaining soil or rock in construction sites, especially during excavation, to prevent collapse or erosion.

How does shotcrete shoring differ from traditional shoring methods?

Unlike traditional shoring, which often relies on the construction of physical barriers (like wooden or metal supports), shotcrete shoring involves spraying concrete directly onto the surface needing support. This technique allows for greater flexibility in application, especially in complex or confined spaces, and usually results in a faster construction process and stronger structural support.

What are the main advantages of shotcrete shoring?

Shotcrete shoring offers several advantages:

Speed of Application: It can be applied quickly, reducing construction time.
Flexibility: Suitable for a variety of terrains and shapes.
Strength and Durability: Provides robust and long-lasting support.
Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces the need for extensive formwork and labor.
Environmental Benefits: Minimizes landscape disturbance and can incorporate recycled materials.

Is shotcrete shoring environmentally friendly?

Shotcrete shoring is considered more environmentally friendly compared to some traditional methods. It minimizes the disturbance to the surrounding landscape and can be more easily adapted to fit natural contours. Additionally, the potential to use recycled materials in the shotcrete mix further enhances its sustainability.

What are the typical applications of shotcrete shoring?

Typical applications include stabilizing slopes and excavations, supporting foundations in building construction, retaining walls, tunnel linings, and infrastructure projects like bridges and roadways. Its adaptability makes it particularly useful in urban environments, areas with challenging topography, or where traditional shoring methods are impractical.
