Knowledge: Shotcrete’s
Most Valuable Resource
By Oscar Duckworth
As 2024’s incoming ASA President, I’ve
been asked to write a brief introduction.
For those who do not know me, I am not
an academic or engineer. Rather, I am a
nozzleman. Yet with over 30 years of daily
practice in shotcrete placement, I have
not mastered the craft.
The art of the nozzleman is a craft that
can never be mastered. It can only be continually refined.
