TRAINING
This is due to our time & financial commitment to training our staff on industry best practice. Any John Smith can buy a wrecked gunnite machine and call themselves a gunite applicator. However as with most things there is a right and wrong way to achieve a quality product.
This starts with training. Our founder is the only certified shotcrete craftsman and inspector in Africa. This certification involved travelling to the USA and spending a month on a variety of shotcrete sites working with recognised and certified industry experts. Additional time was then spent in lectures and at the end of this 7 separate examinations with an 80% pass rate where required. These included practical and theory. Theory includes cold and hot weather shotcreting, materials, admixtures, placement techniques, industry bad practice, equipment, safety and many other subjects. The practical involved the spraying of panels in the vertical and overhead position. The panels where then cored and the quality, density and encapsulation of rebar was judged by the American Shotcrete Association. As shotcrete is concrete all examinations and testing are overseen by the American Concrete Institute who then issue the certification.
Our equipment is then also a factor in why we are ahead of the rest. One of our wet-shotcrete kits can cost more than 10 x what a local gunite set-up costs. Why would we invest so much money in one when we could have ten. Quality is the answer. We have 7 Wet shotcrete rigs and 7 dry shotcrete set-ups. All manufactured by REED Shotcrete equipment on Chino, California.
