Shotcrete Shoring, a process that involves spraying concrete at high velocity onto excavation walls to provide immediate structural support.
This method enhances stability
Reduces soil erosion
Accelerates project timelines by eliminating the need for traditional formwork
Our equipment and expertise ensure precise application delivering reliable shoring solutions tailored to your site conditions.
Shotcrete Shoring
Traditional Shoring (e.g., Timber Lagging)
Installation
Very Fast. Eliminates the time spent cutting, fitting, and securing heavy timber or steel panels.
 
Slower. Requires manual installation of lagging boards piece by piece as excavation progresses.
Adaptability
Highly Adaptable. Conforms perfectly to irregular rock faces, tight corners, or uneven dirt walls.
 
Rigid. Difficult to fit tightly against irregular soil profiles, which can leave dangerous voids behind the wall.
Water Control
Excellent. Seals the face immediately, blocking minor water seepage and preventing soil erosion.
 
Poor. Water can easily weep through timber gaps, potentially washing out fines (soil particles) behind the lagging.
Longevity
Permanent. Durable concrete that can serve as the final basement or retaining wall structure.
 
Temporary. Timber rots over time; usually requires a separate permanent concrete wall to be poured in front of it later.
Cost
Higher upfront. Requires specialized equipment (shotcrete rigs) and highly skilled nozzlemen.
 
Lower upfront. Materials (wood and steel piles) are cheaper, and standard construction crews can install them.
