Shotcrete is ideal for ground support in tunneling and mining. It provides early ground support after blasting or excavating; early strength development, which provides flexibility to allow for ground stabilization and stress relief; and offers the ability to conform to the natural irregular profile of the ground without formwork, which makes it ideal for any tunnel. It is also the preferred material/process for underground stations, side drifts, shops, etc., and provides long-term stability - it can be used as a final or permanent lining for underground structures.
