Gunite can provide a protective layer to reinforce and shield the underlying structure from corrosion caused by environmental factors, such as water, chemicals, and salt, which can be particularly prevalent in bridge and tunnel environments.
The high-pressure application of gunite allows for quick and efficient repairs, minimizing disruption to traffic and allowing structures to be returned to service more rapidly than traditional repair methods.
When using gunite for bridge and tunnel repair, it’s essential to ensure that the application is carried out by trained professionals in accordance with industry standards and regulations. Proper surface preparation, material selection, and application techniques are critical to the success and longevity of the repair. Additionally, quality control and ongoing maintenance are important to ensure the continued effectiveness of the gunite application.
