Another essential test to measure the consistency of fresh shotcrete is the slump or Abrams cone test. As is the case with the flow table test, the methodology is simple and requires only basic [...]
Underground worksites such as mines and tunnels are tough and dangerous workplace environments: so much so that a small oversight can turn into a massive issue down the line, particularly when [...]
Training requirements for shotcrete operators are increasingly demanding, given the importance of this work onsite. A poor application technique not only generates greater shotcrete waste as it [...]
Tests have a vital role to play in the mixing of shotcrete, with on-site sampling and testing essential to ensure the sprayed concrete offers the best possible quality and performance. The two [...]
Shotcrete is widely recognized not only as a material, but also as a process. Its correct application, as well as the recipe, are the pillars to ensure the safety of both personnel and the [...]
Shotcrete pumps are one of the most important components in a mechanized concrete spraying system, and they are designed to ensure a continuous flow of concrete. A continuous concrete flow is of [...]
Hydrostatic transmissions have become the gold standard for the heavy machinery mining industry, due to its high output capacity, fuel consumption optimization, stability and safety profile. [...]
