Ec0support is a factory blended material designed to be a secondary support for rock faces and primary support on embankments that resists up to 300J of energy and gains strength when placed.
Ec0support is a shotcrete that can be used to inhibit the movement of rock by assisting in the prevention of fall of ground incidents.
Ec0support has an inherent energy absorption capability and is used mainly for the secondary support of underground shafts and rock faces.
Further benefits are:
Ec0support has a low rebound when compared to conventional shotcrete materials.
Ec0support is not suitable for use where water is acidic, or the pressure of free-flowing water across the rock face is greater than 1 bar.
An air pressure of 3 – 5 bar pressure should be used to apply shotcrete.
