Mission Gunite Inc in Lakeside has applied pneumatically placed concrete since 1982, when the company first appeared in the Blue Book construction directory from its Riverside Drive headquarters. The firm's shotcrete shells form the structural core of in-ground swimming pools later finished by builders such as Ramos Pools & Spa Construction Inc on Saddle Rock Road. Scope extends beyond pool work to retaining walls, slope stabilization on Lakeside's hillside lots, and commercial foundations requiring engineered concrete placement. Raw material for large pours flows through the same East County supply chain used by Diamond Concrete Supply, Inc. on Channel Road. Nozzle operators apply wet-mix gunite at velocities exceeding 60 mph through 2-inch-diameter hoses, building wall thickness from 6 inches to 12 inches in a single pass for structural shell integrity.
