In the concrete pumping and shotcrete industry, there are not many regulations that apply (except in British Columbia, Canada, due to recently enacted legislation). There is almost no delineation in professional publications ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) B30.27, CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Z151, ACI (American Concrete Institute) 304.2R, ACPA (American Concrete Pumping Association) Safety Manual, or pump manufacturer owner’s manuals that differentiate shotcrete pumping from concrete pumping. In the context of this article, we will treat them the same. One exception is dry shotcreting (often referred to as gunite). This is due to air being the main means of conveyance of the material through the placement line instead of using a hydraulic pump to push it.
