The ASA Contractor Qualification Program (CQP) is a straight-forward program that helps to establish a shotcrete contractor’s qualifications through review of the contractor’s work, by the ASA Contractor’s Qualification Review 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 record for completion of successful projects of similar work and scope.

ASA administers the Shotcrete Contractor Qualification as a review service for shotcrete contractors. ASA shotcrete experts review the Contractor Qualification (CQ) Application for contractor’s seeking qualification. Specifiers are encouraged to require the ASA Shotcrete Contractor Qualification for their specific projects, selecting the appropriate level of qualification based on the difficulty of application. Qualified Contractors will be posted on the ASA website and promoted in Shotcrete magazine and at the various venues where ASA is represented.

ASA Qualified Contractor (Level I or II)

The majority of self-performing shotcrete contractors would seek this qualification. There are two levels of qualification, Level I and Level II in the process(es), i.e. wet-mix or dry-mix, appropriate to the work performed by applicant.

  • 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”. 
  • Shotcrete Contractor (Level II) – Representative projects which have thick, heavily-reinforced sections or sections with difficult access would be considered “Level II”.
