ASA administers the Shotcrete Contractor Qualification as a review service for shotcrete contractors, providing them with objective, experienced review of their projects, equipment, and company structure for project owners who might have less experience evaluating shotcrete work. This review is conducted by the Review Task Group within the Contractor Qualification Committee, whose members have extensive experience in successful shotcrete work. This qualification program provides a distinct service to the industry by assuring specifiers that shotcrete contractors reviewed here have a proven work record for completion of successful projects of similar work and scope. This qualification program is based on the ASA Board Position Paper, “Qualifications of the Shotcrete Construction Team.”
Structural Levels of Qualification:
There are two structural levels of qualification, Level I and Level II in the process(es), i.e. wet-mix or dry-mix, to the work performed by applicant.
- Qualified Shotcrete Contractor – Structural Level I (QSC – SI) Shotcrete Contractor (Level I) – Representative projects which have thin, lightly-reinforced shotcrete sections that can be easily accessed and placed would be considered “Level I”.
- Qualified Shotcrete Contractor – Structural Level II (QSC – SII) Shotcrete Contractor (Level II) – Representative projects which have thick, heavily-reinforced sections or sections with difficult access would be considered “Level II”.
