MetallSchaumspritzen

MetallSchaumspritzen is a method of shotcrete application, a type of gunite that involves spraying liquid cement mortar through a metal nozzle to create a dense, non-reentrant layer on a concrete surface.

This technique is often used in the construction and repair of civil engineering structures, such as tunnels, dams, and nuclear power plants. It can also be employed in the rehabilitation of existing structures, including bridges, buildings, and tunnels. MetallSchaumspritzen is particularly useful for reinforcing structures in areas where wire mesh or steel reinforcement is not feasible.

The application process typically involves pumping a liquid mixture of cement, sand, and water through a pressurized hose to a metal nozzle, where it is sprayed onto the target surface. The mixture is carefully designed to achieve the desired properties, such as high strength, low permeability, and resistance to aggressive environments.

MetallSchaumspritzen has several advantages, including the ability to cover complex and large surface areas with high uniformity. Additionally, it can be applied from a variety of angles and positions, allowing for efficient work execution. This technique is also capable of producing thick layers, often exceeding 25 centimeters, with minimal unevenness.

Experts have developed various systems and equipment for the MetallSchaumspritzen application process, including robotic and computer-aided systems. These advancements have improved the process's efficiency, reliability, and overall accuracy, contributing to the technique's increased adoption in modern civil engineering and repair practices.
