Throughout the country there are roadways that are in need of physical repairs. Many of these roadways are deemed low travel, and regardless if the roadways are deteriorating, money allocated to possible repairs is scant, possibly nonexistent. Money spent on physical infrastructure is money well-spent. It’s equally important on many of the roadways that traverse through our communities that repairs include slope stabilization to ensure the present and future structural integrity of the roadway.
Due to shotcrete’s versatility in application and its strength as a building material, it’s a terrific candidate for stabilizing deteriorating roadways. Because it’s applied with a pneumatic sprayer, the material is compacted onto the aggregate surface, filling cracks and fissures; the complete coverage of the slope ensures that loose material won’t fall, and because of the method of application, ensures that there are no possible voids within the structure that could eventually lead to premature deterioration or sudden failure.
Once the shotcrete is applied, it can act as a stabilizing surface onto which fixtures can be anchored. And because of its efficiency in application, shotcrete can be used by smaller crews, which decreases the spatial needs to place work vehicles and crew members. It’s even a terrific method of repairing failed or deteriorating structures; even when structures are deemed unstable, shotcrete operators can apply the shotcrete from a distance.
