Shotcrete in Tunnelling Applications

Master Builders Solutions provides advanced shotcrete solutions tailored for tunnelling projects. Our water-reducing admixtures optimise water usage, modify rheological properties, and enhance hydration and flow characteristics. By reducing the water-to-cement ratio without compromising workability, our admixtures improve the strength, durability, and performance of shotcrete in tunnel construction.

Shotcrete Solutions

Improved Workability

• Our water-reducing admixtures enhance the workability of shotcrete, making it easier to handle and apply in the challenging environments of tunnels.

Enhanced Strength and Durability

• By reducing the water content in the shotcrete mix, these admixtures result in stronger and more durable tunnel linings, capable of withstanding harsh conditions.

Superior Finishing Properties

• Our admixtures provide smooth and aesthetically pleasing surfaces, which are critical for the effective application of tunnel lining membranes.

Prepping the Rock Surface for Tunnel Lining Membranes

• Ensuring a smooth and consistent shotcrete application creates an optimal surface for the adhesion of tunnel lining membranes, enhancing the overall effectiveness and longevity of the tunnel lining system.

Applications

Rock Stabilisation

• Enhancing the stability of exposed rock surfaces in tunnel construction.

Structural Repairs

• Offering durable solutions for the repair and reinforcement of existing tunnel structures.

Tunnel Lining Preparation

• Providing robust support and protection against water ingress and ground pressure.
