I have a project in Fort Worth, TX, where we will be placing shotcrete on some interior walls that will have steel embeds for other structural supports. Do you have an article or literature regarding good practices of shotcrete placement around steel embeds?

Shooting around embeds can be very challenging. The most important factor is to have the work done by a shotcrete subcontractor who has done this successfully in the past and has ACI Certified Nozzlemen who are also experienced in this type of work. It has been done successfully on many projects in the past, but we do not have a published procedure to do this work.
