OrientMCT Practical Design, Construction, and Repair guidelines for Shotcrete Application
Although shotcrete is cost effective, when used in its natural, untreated state, it is visually intrusive, particularly in highly sensitive urban or rural areas. Due to this there is often a call to restrict the use of shotcrete. However, this is not possible as it is a valuable engineering technique, useful for stabilising and providing structural support for problematic slopes.
