Our company takes on reinforcements with sprayed dry mix concrete which is the most common and effective method of supporting the existing structure made of concrete or masonry.
Sprayed dry or wet concrete mixture, has more possibilities to be used in the repairing sector, since it is cast on surfaces of any inclination, even on flooring surfaces without using framework. However, what is most required, is the experience of the staff in the art of laminating and the use of the suitable materials and machinery.
The use of shotcrete is usually combined with reinforcement with new supports. At the same time, a thin structural grid is set on the outside, laminated in thick layers.
Sprayed concrete has a great bonding strength, high density, high strength (small amount of water) great connection with the concrete surface and large capacity due to the strength of the penetration into gaps, rough spots etc.
The shotcrete need meticulous preparation and careful technique according to the Greek Technical Specification IT 1501-14-01-14-00: 2009 and the foreign regulations DIN18551, ACI Committee 506, as well.
