- Swimming Pool Design and Construction
Shotcrete/Gunite is a process of applying concrete to a structure. It is commonly used to build pools as well as bridges, homes, tunnels, water tanks, sea walls, and bridge and dam repairs to name but a few. Gunite has been is use since the early 1900's with excellent success. Shotcrete comes in two basic forms: "dry process or dry gun" and "wet process". The dry gun method or dry process shotcrete (also known throughout the industry as "gunite") uses a rig in which sand and regular cement are mixed and compressed. This mixture is then blown through a hose by way of extreme compressed air to the nozzle where water is added at the tip of the hose and then blown pneumatically into the rebar enforced walls and floor. Only the necessary amount of water is added for hydration resulting in superior strength over conventional concrete. The wet process, also referred to in the pool industry as "shotcrete", uses premixed concrete. This mixture is pumped to a nozzle and pneumatically placed "shot" in the walls and floor of the structure via an air powered nozzle. Computers are used to control the concrete mixture by using a predefined design that can be adjusted at the site. Dry method pneumatically applied concrete (Gunite) is superior in strength to poured or redi mix. So it can be said that dry method "Gunite" is more dense than of poured concrete. In fact, 14 yards of gunite equal about 10 yards of redi mix concrete or shotcrete mix. Denseness is an important factor in the superior strength of Gunite and its high resistance to the passage of water. Concrete expands and shrinks with changes in moisture and temperature. The overall tendency is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age. Irregular cracks are unsightly and difficult to maintain but generally do not affect the integrity of concrete. Joints are simply pre-planned cracks. Joints in concrete slabs can be created by forming, tooling, sawing, and placement of joint formers.
