Stratacrete operates a range of equipment for specialist and general shotcreting needs to the mining industry. Our equipment utilizes robotic booms mounted on highly mobile and compact carriers, together with high output concrete pumps. All spray units are remotely operated and have a 360° rotating heads with telescopic booms.

Stratacrete’s spray nozzle has a mixing chamber for air and accelerator to be injected into the flow of shotcrete ensuring maximum blending of all components. This increases the mixture velocity through the nozzle tip resulting in a reduction in rebound, better bonding and an increase in-place compaction.
Stratacrete have spray units that can be detached from the pump unit for operations in hazardous or difficult access areas. Stratacrete also possess the only diesel powered fully self contained Robotic shotcrete machine with both QLD and NSW coal approvals.

A strong emphasis is placed on competence, experience and training of all employees of Stratacrete. An underground supervisor and a men and materials transporter, which is refitted to meet site requirements, support each spray team.

These highly mobile shotcrete crews are overseen by experienced shotcrete supervisors. Stratacrete supervisors are certified work place trainers and assessors which combined with our comprehensive training program allows Stratacrete to remain at the forefront of application within the industry.

All site personnel regardless of stature are trained in the following as a minimum:

• First Aid.
• Risk Assessment.
• Concrete Technology

This infrastructure of experienced personal has provided Stratacrete with not only current best practice methodology, but also a training program based on many years of experience in shotcrete application in mining and tunneling projects.

Stratacrete has developed a strong Quality ethic throughout its operations. Stratacrete acknowledges and promotes a Quality Management and Operations System.

The Stratacrete Quality Management System has been established to meet the requirements of the International Quality Standards ISO 9002. 1994. The Quality management plan is adapted to work specifically to individual client and site requirements and as such Stratacrete derives from the parent Management Plan a site specific plan when long term contracts are undertaken.

One of Stratacrete’s divisions is as a contracting organization. In respect of Quality Assurance, its success is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations under the terms and conditions of the contracts it has undertaken as well as the levels of quality as identified and determined internally.

The Stratacrete Quality Management System is therefore concerned with:

• Identifying those aspects of its operational processes, which are critical in being able to deliver the ideals and concepts of its process advantage, in a quality manner.
• Ensuring that it has the capacity to meet the contractual requirements, which it may be required to comply with.
• Meeting the requirements of the customers contract with which legally obligated. 
• Identifying incidents, which in their occurrence will or may reduce the desired levels of quality, so that investigative and corrective action may be taken to prevent the potential for recurrence.
