Looking Back and Moving Forward

By Charles S. Hanskat, PE, FACI, FASCE, ASA Executive Director

This year our American Shotcrete Association celebrates 25 years of advancing shotcrete. And not just our Association, but the overall shotcrete industry. How did we get here? Though shotcrete is the most creative and efficient concrete placement method, increased adoption and applications do not happen solely by shotcrete’s inherent benefits. Our gains happened because of the people in our industry, and our dedicated ASA members.
