Shotcrete
Award-Winning Shotcrete Services for Vertical Concrete Applications
Joseph J. Albanese, Inc. is a worldwide leader in shotcrete construction. Shotcrete is pneumatically placed concrete that is used to create vertical slabs, round columns and rounded or decorative walls.
A faster process than horizontal concrete, shotcrete can reduce days on your project schedule through less forming and cleanup.
“Whether your building design requires rounded or decorative walls or concrete parking structure walls, our award-winning certified shotcrete team works closely with your engineers and architects to ensure a perfect delivery for your project.”
— Ramiro Contreras, Vice President of Operations, Joseph J. Albanese, Inc.
