shotcrete
n.— «A seldom-used method called “shotcrete” uses air compressors, hooked to a giant nozzle, to blow concrete onto the pool’s shell. The result is a more uniform surface that requires very little lumber for framing.» —“Pool sprayed at Stoney Creek” by Barb Ickes Quad-City Times (Davenport, Iowa) Aug. 24, 2005.
