Shotcrete Construction
CCP was selected by Austin Commercial LP to place, finish and cure all below-grade shotcrete basement walls. The project consists of a 4 level, below grade parking structure on a 4.35 acre, zero lot line site. Wet mix shotcrete for the perimeter walls was determined as the preferred construction method. Less crane time, no concrete forming and increased wall production when compared to form-and-pour resulted in both cost savings and an accelerated project schedule. The forming contractor was able to prepare the post tensioned concrete floors immediately after wall placement. The 12 inch, heavily reinforced walls were finished with an engineer specified sponge float concrete finish during preconstruction shotcrete testing.
