Building a Gunite Swimming Pool in the Overberg

Gunite is a type of concrete that is applied using a high-pressure hose in a process called shotcreting. It is a dry-mix form of shotcrete, where dry cement and aggregate are mixed and transported through a hose, and water is added at the nozzle just before spraying. Gunite is favored in construction projects where strength, flexibility, and durability are essential.

Key Features of Gunite:

Dry-Mix Process: The dry materials are mixed first, and water is introduced at the nozzle, allowing better control over water content.

High-Pressure Application: Applied pneumatically using a high-velocity stream, making it highly compact and durable.

Strong and Durable: Gunite structures are resistant to cracking and provide excellent strength.

Versatile: Used in complex shapes and curved surfaces, such as swimming pools, tunnels, and retaining walls.

Common Uses of Gunite:

Swimming Pools: Preferred for custom-shaped pools due to flexibility.

Structural Repairs: Used for repairing bridges, tunnels, and buildings.

Retaining Walls: Provides strong reinforcement for slopes and land stabilization.

Domes and Shells: Ideal for curved or irregular surfaces.
