High-pressure water tunnels
In hydroelectric power plants, shotcrete is
used for the stabilization and lining of
high-pressure water tunnels leading from
the water supply dam to the turbines of
the power house
Stabilization of slopes
Due to its sheer resistance and
good adhesion to the rock,
sprayed concrete strengthens the
substrate, by filling holes and
cracks and avoiding mud orm
rockslides
Underground mining
Progressive replacement of wire mesh
by fiber-reinforced sprayed concrete
(FRS)

Mechanized wet-mix spraying is the most efficient method for projects with high shotcrete production.
It is primarily applied for underground works in order to increase operator safety.
The concrete is introduced into the hopper of the concrete pump and transported through the
concrete line to the spraying nozzle, where it is mixed with compressed air and accelerator to be
sprayed on the substrate.

The SPM 4210 WETKRET has a
vertical spraying reach of 10 m
and concrete flow of 20 m3/h. The
dual cable and wireless
proportional remote control
permits easy handling of arm
movements, besides regulation of
the concrete flow and adjustment
of the additive dosage. With state-
of-the-art axles and a reinforced
turning system, the chassis is
ideal for the rough working
conditions in mining.

radiuses, while its robust
chassis is ideal for underground
mining.

Work outside the danger zone
As all equipment components
are operated by remote control,
the operator can work from a
secure area that already
disposes of the required support
to prevent falling rock.

Safety in underground construction with mechanized
shotcreting equipment
Mechanized shotcrete
equipment requires fewer
operators than manual
application, which implies fewer
people working in areas of major
risk.
Fewer workers at the excavation face

The spraying arm allows
shotcrete application beyond the
manual spraying
reach, without scaffolding and
platforms that imply the risk of
falling down or getting hit.

The mechanization improves the
working conditions by reducing
the physical effort of the operator
and the exposure to dust and
rebound.
Work in a healthier way

Being exposed to less stress, the
operator is able to concentrate
fully on his work, which leads to a
higher quality shotcrete support
and therefore improves security.
