Lining in a steel stack serves one or more of three principal purposes.
Whistler Sliding Centre
ConCreate USL Ltd. of Bolton, ON, Canada, in consortium with Emil Anderson Construction of Hope, BC, Canada, was selected to construct the Whistler Sliding Centre.
Embrittlement of Fiber-Reinforced Shotcrete
In underground construction, minimum performance levels for shotcrete with respect to compressive and flexural strength, ductility, and resistance to the environment are usually required to be maintained over the entire design life of a lining.
Expanded Metal Sheet Forming
When the Port Authority of Allegheny County decided to build a busway from the Pittsburgh International Airport to downtown Pittsburgh, PA, part of the project incorporated rehabilitating an existing 2900 ft (884 m) tunnel.
Air Forms for Building Shotcrete Domes
Concrete domes are used for both commercial and industrial applications. For example, domes have been incorporated into schools and churches.
Pneumatically Placed Concrete for Walls of Industrial Plants
Walls for Industrial Buildings are important elements of defense structures, both as to the cost and time required for construction,
Forming and Constructing Structural Shotcrete Walls
For contractor Krekow Jennings, shotcrete proved to be a time-saving, cost-effective alternative for a cast-in-place job in Seattle, WA.
Forming for Shotcrete
Shotcrete can be used instead of cast-in-place concrete for a wide variety of construction applications.
Guniting Steel Cement Kiln Stacks
Some interesting guniting work was recently accomplished at the plant of the St. Mary’s Cemtne Co. Ltd., St. Mary’s, Ont., where three steel kiln stacks were coated with gunite in order to make them self-supporting,
