Shotcrete Retaining Walls For Long-Term Erosion Control
Stabilise slopes and manage erosion with permanent shotcrete retaining walls built to perform for years to come.
We spray shotcrete directly onto prepared soil, rock or reinforcement to create a tough concrete face. This reliable solution supports unstable ground, protects exposed surfaces and helps to prevent breakdown.
For extra strength, shotcrete retaining walls can be combined with soil nails, rock bolts or ground anchors to improve load capacity and durability.
Support On-Site Safety With Shotcrete Shoring Walls
Secure excavation faces and protect active work zones with shotcrete shoring walls. By supporting exposed soil and rock, these temporary walls reduce the risk of ground movement during construction.
Applied directly to the face and reinforced with mesh, anchors or soil nails where required, shotcrete creates a strong support system for safer, more controlled site access.
From basement excavations to civil infrastructure projects, safeguard your workers, equipment, and structures with The Rix Group.

Fast delivery
Accelerate project timelines and keep your build on track. Shotcrete walls offer a faster alternative to precast and poured concrete, reducing the need for heavy lifting, extensive preparation and lengthy installation.
Cost-effective construction
Cut equipment, labour and access costs. Shotcrete is pumped directly to the wall area and sprayed into place, minimising reliance on large precast panels, complex formwork and cranes.
Space-efficient walls
Maximise usable space. Up to 80% thinner than concrete block walls, shotcrete walls deliver strong structural outcomes without taking up unnecessary space. This makes them ideal where every square metre counts.
Flexible design
Apply shotcrete to any shape wall. Shotcrete follows curved, angled, uneven and freeform walls, making it a practical option where precast panels, blockwork or traditional pours are difficult.
Superior durability
Build hard-wearing, long-lasting walls on harsh sites. Shotcrete forms a strong, cohesive layer, bonding tightly to prepared surfaces. As a result, it’s well-suited to structural support, erosion control, ground stabilisation and wall protection.
Low permeability
Protect shoring and retaining walls from moisture. High-speed spraying compacts shotcrete on impact, forming a dense layer that reduces water ingress. Shotcrete can also be applied to walls with a waterproofing membrane.

FAQs
What is shotcrete?
Shotcrete is a wet mix of cement, aggregate and water that is sprayed onto a prepared surface at high speed through a hose and nozzle.
Instead of being poured into traditional formwork, this high-strength concrete is sprayed directly onto vertical, curved or reinforced surfaces.
It’s commonly used to build, strengthen or stabilise structures such as retaining walls, shoring walls, basement walls, embankment walls, pool walls and architectural feature walls.
When applied by experienced operators, shotcrete forms a dense, well-bonded concrete layer that can provide excellent strength, durability and shape control.
