| Sprayed Concrete
The technique of sprayed concrete
has been in use for over 50 years in construction, structural repairs
and a variety of other applications.
The use of properly applied sprayed
concrete is now recognised as being a technically sound and economic
method of applying concrete both for effective repairs and for new
constructions.
The sprayed concrete forms and excellent
bond with itself, concrete and masonry.
The material is compacted onto the
substrate under its own momentum, resulting in a strong, dense product
with good resistance to abrasion and weathering.
Sprayed concrete is extremely versatile
and as a free forming material lends itself to use in the construction
industry.
This imperviousness and low water
cement ratio gives a durable concrete with a host of proven applications.
In many cases sprayed concrete will out-perform traditional concrete
both in strength and permeability.
The elimination of form work, the
speed of application, the small access required and the ability
to have the spraying machine and materials over 200 metres from
the point of application, result in a large cost saving over other
techniques.
With the ever-increasing structural
loadings, the technique has proven particularly suitable for the
strengthening of bridges, tunnels and culverts.

In addition to sprayed concrete Gunform
carry out concrete repairs, resin injection, pressure pointing and
grouting.
