Shotcrete Training

We offer industry-leading spray operator training designed to elevate performance across the entire shotcrete process. With a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on instruction. Our program, based on EFNARC standards, equips operators with the skills and techniques necessary for consistent, high-quality application. This expert-led approach promotes safety, precision, and optimal use of materials. Our training have contributed to significant cost savings by reducing rebound, improving mechanical performance, and enhancing overall operator knowledge. Our training program covers the following:

Site and substrate Preparation

Preparation of surface, accelerator check valve and cleaning, water box, machine positioning

equipment setup and calibration

Machine cleaning and inspection, pressure test, nozzle cleaning and set up, water/accelerator dosage

application technique

Thickness control, reinforcement, nozzle positioning/angle spraying technique, shooting pattern, finishing, safety practices

Performance analysis on spraymecs and shotcrete mix

Tests, corrections and suggestions

Classroom training

Shotcrete process training material explanation, safety and maintenance practices

Assesment and sign off

Proficiency evaluation and results
