The advanced technology for shotcrete method / Natasha Rohayu Mohmad Sha and Wan Akmal Zahri Wan Zaharuddin

Shotcrete, an efficient method for applying concrete to complex structures such as tunnels, retaining walls, and free-form surfaces, relies on a combination of machinery and skilled labour. However, issues related to dusting and wastage pose challenges in concrete application. To address these concerns, the implementation of contemporary technology, specifically a robotic machine for concrete spraying, offers a promising solution. This research focuses on developing an advanced technology for the shotcrete method, with primary goals of reducing labour costs, minimising construction time, and ensuring worker safety by avoiding exposure to health risks. The study utilises document analysis as a method for data collection and design thinking to analyse and create innovative products, services, and business models.
