ACCL Kenya Project – 12 October 2012 Shotcrete Continues

Posted by:

The ACCL crew under the leadership of local Bromley Smith the Foreman continues shotcrete.  This exercise is both completing the MAS Units as well as providing training certification hours under the direction of MAS Field Trainer Adam Lake from the US.  Adam has been impressed with the fast learning curve of the local Kenyans even though this is their first exposure to shotcrete.  Adam stated having a “strong back” is the key to success as it allows the nozzle man to concentrate on technique without a struggle.

Note: A heavy rain came in and the “tenting”, that is an option with the SPiFolding system, was quickly deployed on the tent pole standoffs that were already in place in anticipation of such rain.  Shotcreting was NOT impacted due to the tenting system being in place.

Below are photos from this day.
