Dry Spraying and Rock Finishes

DRY SPRAYING AND ROCK FEATURES

RIX offer simulated rock and block finishes over almost any substrate. Dry spraying or dry shot spraying allows slower output thus more time for our expert artisans to cut, mould and color allowing the product to almost dissapear into the surrounding substate or landscaping.

SHOTCRETE ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES - SIMULATED OR MOCK ROCK

Project: CLEM 7 Tunnel Brisbane

Client: Leighton Baulderstone Billfinger JV

RIX major client LBBJV required a stabilisation and attractive final rock finish solution to potentially unstable rock faces above designed pre constructed panels on the approach roads to the northern tunnel.

After anchors were installed the areas were sprayed with structurally reinforced shotcrete then covered with dry spray moulded to simulate the original faces.

SHOTCRETE ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES - SIMULATED OR MOCK ROCK

Project: Shotcrete Retaining Wall

Client: Private

Principle Contractor: RIX

Total area: 150m²

Design: Steel Mesh supported with 6m Rock Bolts

Completed: 2008

Steelwork of the shotcrete retaining wall prior to concrete placement

RIX were engaged to hand excavate, form up and create new terraces on a failing cliff below an existing house. Our Geotechnical team undertook the stabilisation works installing 6m rock bolts, 5m mini piles and structurally reinforced shotcrete, whilst our Construction team formed up the shotcrete retaining wall to allow increased area for the garden terraces. Next the Dry Spray team displayed their magic and sculptured the shotcrete into the artificial sandstone finish. Finally the project was complemented with professional landscaping, featuring plantings and natural timbers.
