Foundation contractors who place traditional basement walls tell us they would never go into a house built with walls constructed using shotcrete. Can it be of equivalent strength as placed concrete?

Shotcrete is a method of building a structure using a concrete mixture. A shotcrete mixture likely would exceed the compressive strength of most mixtures used for placed walls because the application of shotcrete requires a much lower water-cementitious material ratio than commonly found in residential wall mixtures.
