Structural Shotcrete Stabilisation & Permanent Sprayed Concrete Retaining Solutions
For Embankments · Retaining Walls · Slope Stabilisation · Infrastructure Remediation
Piletec Geotechnical Ltd deliver structural shotcrete (sprayed concrete) installation for permanent slope and retaining wall stabilisation across civil, infrastructure and industrial projects. Our shotcrete works are engineered for ground stabilisation and retention and are frequently deployed alongside ground anchors, king post walls and void remediation packages. The shotcrete process is truly one of the most versatile processes available for the use of concrete in both new construction and repairs. Shotcrete can be used in almost any concrete project and typically results in a significant savings of time and money. Shotcrete is a process of forcing wet concrete through a hose to adhere to a surface, making it ideal for applying to a vertical face. Compressed air is used to increase velocity to discharge the wet concrete or blow a dry mix where water is added upon discharge.
Why Choose Us?

- Rapid mobilisation from Hellaby, Rotherham, depot across the UK
Typical Shotcrete Applications
- Permanent embankment stabilisation following slip or erosion
- Sprayed concrete facing for king post and contiguous wall systems
- Reinforcement of structurally failing retaining walls and slopes
- Combined shotcrete + ground anchor stabilisation for long-term geotechnical restraint
The following list is a sample of the almost limitless applications for shotcrete.
- Stabilisation of Cliff Faces and Rock Faces
- Tunnelling
- Mining
- Spillways
- Retaining Walls
- Embankment
Shotcrete, combined with reinforcement and anchoring systems, offers a highly effective solution for stabilising earth and rock excavations. It outperforms traditional timber and steel shoring by delivering rapid application, adaptable coverage, and early structural support.This versatile material is ideal for ground support in tunnelling and mining, and is equally effective when applied to contiguous piled walls, gravity walls, and other retaining structures. Whether used for temporary excavation support or permanent wall facing, shotcrete ensures immediate stability and long-term durability across a wide range of ground conditions.
