As a construction technique, spraying concrete or ‘shotcrete’ as it is now called goes back over a century, to a Chicago taxidermist who needed to devise an innovative technique for repairing the dilapidating façade of the Field Columbian Museum in Chicago. Carl Akely patented his process and the equipment it required. Akely’s process involved spraying from a dry mixed hopper of concrete using a nozzle which introduced water to the mix at the point of departure from the nozzle. This technique is still used, and is known as “shotcrete – dry mix”, to distinguish it from a later process which sprays ready-mixed wet concrete known as “shotcrete – wet mix”. Each has its advantages, but both require skilled operators.

We provide a range of domestic services, such as shotcreting to Swimming Pools, Spas, Water Tanks, fish ponds, retaining walls, basement walls, and cellars. However, we are also paving the way in the commercial world of Shotcreting, working on larger projects across Melbourne. We use premium-quality concrete and reinforcement materials to ensure the durability and longevity of our shotcrete applications. We adhere to strict safety protocols to protect our team, clients, and the public. Our projects comply with all local regulations and industry standards.
