Shotcrete and Reinforced Surface Protection
Fibre-reinforced and mesh-reinforced shotcrete to prevent progressive weathering and ravelling on exposed cut faces.
Service Overview
Providing surface protection and sealing against weathering, ravelling, and progressive erosion on exposed cut faces. We apply wet-mix or dry-mix shotcrete, reinforced with structural steel mesh or synthetic/steel fibres. Drainage is detailed through the shotcrete so water pressure cannot build behind the treated surface.
When friable, highly fractured, or moisture-sensitive rock faces are exposed to atmospheric weathering, progressive ravelling and slaking can undermine larger rock masses above. DCC applies engineered pneumatically projected shotcrete that forms an intimate, high-adhesion structural skin over irregular slope geometry. Engineered with structural macrosynthetic or steel fibres, silica fume, and set accelerators, our shotcrete achieves high early compressive strength and excellent energy absorption (toughness) characteristics.
Key Features & Capabilities
Our Delivery Process
Substrate Prep & Drainage Setup
Rock faces are scaled and pressure-washed; structural mesh is secured with dowels and weep-hole drain pipes are installed.
Engineered Mix Batching & Control
Mix design with microsilica, fibres, and high-range water reducers is batched and slump/air content verified on site.
Pneumatic Layer Application
Certified nozzlemen apply shotcrete perpendicularly in continuous uniform layers, embedding all reinforcement without shadow voids.
Curing & Compressive Testing
Membrane curing is applied immediately, followed by core sampling and compressive testing at 7 and 28 days to verify strength.
