What does GUNITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A mixture of cement, sand and water that is sprayed through a hose under high pressure to form a dense layer of concrete.
Builders use gunite where pouring ordinary wet concrete into a mould would be difficult, such as when lining a swimming pool, reinforcing a tunnel wall, or repairing a bridge support, because the pressurised spray packs the mixture tightly against almost any shape. The technique is closely related to shotcrete, and the two names are sometimes used loosely for the same process, though gunite traditionally refers to the dry-mix method in which water is added at the nozzle. Because it sets into a hard, dense shell, gunite is prized for structural strength as much as for the free-form shapes it allows.
