Note
"Shotcrete, gunite (/ˈɡʌnaɪt/), or sprayed concrete is concrete or mortar conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface, as a construction technique, first used in 1907 invented by Carl Akeley.: 7  It is typically reinforced by conventional steel rods, steel mesh, or fibers.

Shotcrete is usually an all-inclusive term for both the wet-mix and dry-mix versions invented by Carl Akeley. In pool construction, however, shotcrete refers to wet mix and gunite to dry mix. In this context, these terms are not interchangeable.

Shotcrete is placed and compacted/consolidated at the same time, due to the force with which it is ejected from the nozzle. It can be sprayed onto any type or shape of surface, including vertical or overhead areas." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.04.2022)
