Gunite or shotcrete refers to concrete produced by the projection of wet sand and cement mixture onto an area, by means of pressure applied through a continuously feeding pressure vessel. Using guniting, concrete can be applied on irregular, vertical and overhead surfaces. This application is used commonly to protect slopes from erosion, as well as structures of large areas or uneven surfaces.
