Shotcrete Applications
EdenCrete® is used by contractors to improve both fresh and hardened properties of shotcrete.
In fresh shotcrete, EdenCrete® mixes glide smoothly through the pump, hose, and nozzle without segregating, sand packing, or clogging lines. The improved rheology of the mix adheres and carves better, reducing dust and waste from rebound. Hydraulic pump pressure can be reduced to save fuel and wear and tear on the equipment. The reduced dust allows for other trades and multiple nozzle-men to operate within the same enclosed area due to improved air quality and job site conditions. In hardened shotcrete, EdenCrete® improves durability, crack-resistance, and in-service performance as compared to traditional shotcrete.
