Shotcrete

Twin rope access techniques are used by Specialised Geo in many projects requiring the application of shotcrete. Shotcrete is highly effective in finishing and securing surfaces in construction and mining environments and for vertical excavations where steel mesh is difficult and slow to install. Shotcrete delivers a rendered finish, high-quality result, and saves on construction costs and time. Specialised Geo has vast experience and an impeccable safety record in using the latest twin rope access techniques to apply shotcrete.

Why use rope access to apply shotcrete?

Twin rope access enables the application of shotcrete in challenging environments such as deteriorating rock slopes, unstable surfaces and confined spaces. Using rope access for applying shotcrete significantly reduces job costs and completion time, with the set up and implementation of a rope access project taking far less time compared with constructing scaffolding for the same access.

Safety compliance

Specialised Geo personnel are highly experienced in rope access applications and are trained in TRAC level II. The TRAC system is a safe method of rope access which was approved by WorkCover in 1993 and which has also received a mining and construction industry safety innovation award.

The TRAC system is used by defence personnel, vertical rescue, mines rescue, tower rescue and industrial rope access personnel in various parts of the world.

What is shotcrete & how does it work?

The application of shotcrete involves forcing wet concrete through a hose to adhere to a surface, making it ideally suited for vertical faces or difficult to access environments. Compressed air is used to increase the discharge velocity of the wet concrete or to blow a dry mix where water is added upon discharge. As a relatively new technology, shotcreting has largely replaced steel meshing especially in underground environments.
