What is dry pouring concrete slab?

Dry pouring (also known as dry mix or gunite) is a construction method for building concrete slabs or structures by spraying a dry mixture of cement, sand, and aggregates through a hose at high velocity onto a surface. Once the mixture reaches the surface, water is added to the mix to activate it and create a hard, durable concrete surface.

Dry pouring is often used for high-stress construction projects, where high strength and durability are required. It is especially suitable for construction projects with complex shapes and designs.

Some benefits of dry pouring include faster construction times, cost efficiency, and better resistance to erosion and weather conditions. Dry pouring can also be used to repair and retrofit existing structures.

However, dry pouring requires special equipment and skilled labor, and it may not be the best choice for all construction projects. Before using dry pouring, it is important to consult with a professional contractor to determine if this method is suitable for your project.
