A Dirty Job!

A Dirty Job!

Spraying shotcrete is one of the dirtiest jobs around. The nozzle operator wears a rain suit to protect their skin from the cement, a mask and a hard hat equipped with a special plastic wrap-dispensing spool. The plastic wrap is pulled down in front of the sprayer’s face to protect goggles, faces and masks from being covered in overspray. As the transparent plastic gets coated with bits of shotcrete, the nozzleman can pull down and dispense a fresh length so his view remains clear.
