When Robbins Gunite is hired to do any type of structural construction or repair, we assess the situation and employ several different techniques to accomplish the tasks at hand.

Common Terminology:

Gunite: 
Gunite is a dry mixture of cement and aggregate that is combined with water at the nozzle, as it is sprayed through a gun at high pressure. To give it strength and durability and so it has a place to adhere, gunite is usually applied over steel mesh or steel rebar. In foundation repairs, gunite can be shot directly over damaged, cracked concrete and crumbling rubble walls, leaving a smooth, even surface.

Rip-rap (Seawalls): 
One of the things that we do to stabilize damaged seawalls is support them with riprap.  Seawalls could have developed cracks over years of wear under the water level. Rip-rap consists of bags of dry sand and cement. These bags are placed wherever cracks are found and are then pressure grouted with more cement to stabilize the integrity of the wall. 

Spalling:
Spalling is the technical term for deteriorating or failing concrete due to age and/or structural stresses on seawalls, foundations, and other such structures. These irregularities can be corrected with the application of gunite.

Rebar:
Steel rods that help support structures such as seawalls and foundations. These bars can usually be found inside poured concrete members.
