Air Placed Concrete Spec Inc, established in 1978, is a leading shotcrete company based in Washington State, serving the greater Seattle area and neighboring regions. With a focus on quality and innovation, the company is extensively trained and fully equipped to provide top-notch air placed concrete services tailored to diverse construction needs. Shotcrete, a method of applying concrete pneumatically, offers numerous advantages over conventional concrete material. Notably, it boasts high tensile strength, durability, fire resistance, low permeability, and impressive thermal efficiency. These properties ensure that shotcrete can match or surpass traditional concrete, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
One of the key benefits of shotcrete is its efficiency in application. The direct application to surfaces eliminates or greatly reduces the need for traditional formwork, which can often be the most labor-intensive and expensive part of construction. With shotcrete, projects can save significantly in formwork costs—ranging from 50 to 100% compared to conventional methods. It is adaptable to various surfaces, including wood, steel, and even plastic, allowing for the completion of complex shapes without extensive preparations.
Air Placed Concrete's expertise extends to both new construction and repair applications, where speed and efficiency are paramount. By reducing labor costs by about 50% in repair scenarios and speeding up new construction by 33 to 50%, the company minimizes downtime and maximizes construction speed. This adaptability makes them a preferred choice for projects with tight schedules or challenging environments, such as overhead or underground spaces. With a strong commitment to quality and a solid reputation built over decades, Air Placed Concrete is your go-to solution for exceptional shotcrete services.
