Rosales · Oklahoma City · Concrete & shotcrete

Concrete & shotcrete.
Built around
your project.

Driveways, sidewalks, porches and patios. Walls, slopes and curved forms. Rosales brings poured concrete and shotcrete together, choosing the placement method around your project.

01 / Poured concrete

Driveways. Sidewalks. Porches. Patios.

Everyday spaces, formed and poured. Plan the layout, dimensions and finish around how you use your property.

02 / Shotcrete

Walls. Slopes. Curved forms.

Concrete placed through a nozzle for projects that suit pneumatic placement. The design and site guide the method.

Two ways to place concrete. Drag the angle below to explore how the shape changes the work.

Read drawing 01 as text instead

Both drawings show the same thing: a layer of concrete of the same thickness, over the same reinforcement, on a face set at the angle you choose. The only difference is what has to be built to hold it there.

Level, 0°
Poured: commonly used for level slabs, with forms and support suited to the design. Sprayed: suitability depends on project requirements.
Sloping, about 30°
Poured: forming depends on the slope, mix and placement plan. Sprayed: placement requires a suitable prepared surface and controlled application.
Steep, 40° to 75°
Poured: forms and bracing must suit the design and concrete pressure. Sprayed: reinforcement, surface preparation and placement technique remain project-specific.
Vertical, 90°
Poured: single-sided or double-sided forms may be used depending on the design. Sprayed: open-face placement may reduce forming, but boundaries and nearby structures still constrain access.
Overhead, past 96°
Poured: overhead work requires designed support while concrete gains strength. Sprayed: overhead placement requires suitable preparation, mix and application technique.

Sprayed concrete is not stronger than poured concrete. Reinforcement, thickness and mix are still set by the project. The drawing illustrates a principle and is not a specification.

The short version, without the interactive drawing

Formwork supports fresh concrete while it gains strength. The formwork needed for a slab, slope or wall depends on the design, mix, placement method and site access. These drawings show simplified examples, not a rule for every project.

  1. Level slab. Poured concrete is commonly used for slabs; edge forms and support depend on the design.
  2. Sloping face. Forming and placement requirements depend on the slope, mix and specified finish.
  3. Vertical wall. Formwork may be single-sided or double-sided, depending on the design and available support.
  4. Overhead. A form plus shoring to hold the concrete up while it gains strength.

Shotcrete may reduce formwork for suitable shapes and surfaces. It does not eliminate preparation, reinforcement or access requirements. Costs depend on the complete scope, including equipment, labor, finishing and site conditions.

Drawing 03 · The sequence

What actually happens
at the face.

Four stages, in order, on a vertical face. Step through them, or press play and watch the section build up.

Drawing 03 — section through the applied face
Sequence only · thicknesses illustrative
Section through a vertical face showing four stages: preparing the face, fixing reinforcement, placing concrete in passes, and finishing the surface.

Good work starts before placement. Preparation and reinforcement come first; drainage must be planned from the outset and checked through finishing.

04 / The people behind the method

The drawing matters.
The hands matter more.

A shape on a screen is a starting point. Turning it into good work calls for judgment at every stage: understanding the brief, reading the site, placing the concrete and checking the finish.

The first conversation

Someone who hears the whole idea.

Start with what you want the space to do. A useful brief captures the purpose, the setting and the questions still open — before anyone settles on a solution.

  • What is there now?
  • What should the finished space make possible?
  • Which decisions need a site visit?

A better conversation, from concept to site

01 / Put the idea in view

Explore the proportions in the studio and save a concept to discuss.

02 / Test it against the place

Review access, drainage, existing surfaces and real measurements.

03 / Agree on the work

Confirm scope, method, finish and any engineering before construction.

Off the drawing

From everyday surfaces
to complex shapes.

A driveway, a wall and a sloped surface call for different planning. These illustrative images introduce both sides of the work: poured concrete and shotcrete.

Your project starts
with a conversation.

Tell us what you want to build: a driveway, sidewalk, porch, patio or shotcrete project. Share the space, approximate dimensions and finish you have in mind. We can discuss the placement method and what needs a closer look on site.
