Abstract
A shotcrete gauge for facilitating an application of shotcrete to a surface, the shotcrete gauge comprising a main body, a pair of twist-on members having parallel hooks to attach to a reinforcement mesh disposed against the surface and a fastener-supporting bore extending centrally inside the main body and having internal threads for receiving a depth-setting fastener having corresponding external threads. The depth-setting fastener can be a depth-setting bolt having a bolt head and a threaded shank having the external threads, wherein the bolt head provides a visual indicator for a user applying the shotcrete to the reinforcement mesh.
