In the morning you will cover:

There will be a manual handed out with the excerpts from the UBC, AI506 “Guide to Shotcrete” and “Specification for Shotcrete.”

In the afternoon you will learn how to inspect shotcrete. Slides and videotape will be used to help you recognize potential problems while the material is being placed and can also be corrected. Emphasis will be on demonstrating good and bad shotcrete nozzling techniques, quality control procedures the contractor utilizes, the teamwork required to produce good quality shotcrete, and ways the special inspector can effectively interface with the shotcrete crew. We will also cover how to inspect a shotcrete test panel for nozzles prequalification including evaluating the set up and how to take notes during the shoot, and evaluating test cores both from test panels and from in-place work.

Manual handout will include the DCLU Shotcrete Directors Rule that includes practical inspection procedures.
