Get a FREE Quote!Concrete is widely used throughout commercial construction projects due to its strength and versatility. When reinforced, it is strong enough to serve as the foundation for the largest of buildings, and it is fluid enough to be able to be molded into a variety of shapes before it sets.
That same fluidity, however, requires that it be supported or molded while it dries, which limits its application in hard-to-reach spaces. It also involves a lengthy installation process that can be labor-intensive and costly.
Shotcrete offers a quick, affordable alternative to conventional cast-in-place concrete. TerraFirma has been working with facilities managers, general contractors and property owners for more than 15 years to offer shotcrete solutions for all type of commercial construction projects.
Shotcrete is a specially engineered mixture of cement and clean, ultra-fine sand, trap rock, or shale. It is projected through a hose at high velocity onto a surface, which is reinforced with rebar or welded wire mesh. The force with which shotcrete is sprayed compacts the concrete, making shotcrete twice as strong as regular concrete.
Shotcrete can be used in a variety of applications, from construction or repair of free-form walls and single-sided retaining walls to tunnel linings.
We work with you to identify the best design for your application, ensuring a long-lasting shotcrete solution. The resulting surface is structurally sound, seismically stable, waterproof, and insulated from noise and temperature. It's also easy to add color and texture to shotcrete surfaces or turn your new or newly repaired basement into added space for your warehouse, retail center, commercial building, or municipal building.

TerraFirma shotcrete solutions are tailored to the unique needs of your project. A typical repair process for the walls of a commercial building foundation is as follows:
- Vertical steel beams, which typically run from floor to ceiling, are installed to stabilize existing walls. The beams provide additional support during the construction process and keep your foundation from shifting in the long term.
- A coating of shotcrete is sprayed on the stabilized walls.
- An additional plate is attached to the anchor system and is embedded into the enhanced shotcrete wall.
- A final layer of shotcrete is applied, setting the anchor system firmly into the new wall.
