Does not require wall-ties for its placement.
It can be impacted onto any type or shape of surface, including vertical or overhead areas.
Reduction in construction time and cost.

Maximum aggregate size can be of up to: 20mm.
Resistance levels, similar to those obtained on conventional concretes, can be reached.
