Spanish term or phrase: se encontrará en suspensión en el aire a presión
No sé como que si algo no tiene sentido aquí:


Cuando el lanzado se efectúe por vía húmeda o por vía seca, y si las condiciones del trabajo requieren que se acelere el tiempo inicial de fraguado a 3 min. el tiempo de fraguado final a 12min y la resistencia a las 10hr a 50kg/cm2, la dosificación del aditivo se hará en la boquilla de salida.

En este caso el aditivo se encontrará en suspensión en el aire a presión que se conecta a la boquilla de salida.

Explanation:
el aditivo se encontrará en suspensión en el aire a presión
-->
the additive will be carried as a suspension in the compressed air

The text is saying, basically, that if rapid seting required, implying a higher dose of additive, the additive must be added only as the 'shotcrete' leaves the gun, otherwise there's a risk that the mix will start to set inside the machine causing ... problems.

So, instead of mixing the additive into the shotcrete, it is added as a suspension (or aerosol) in the compressed air used to project the shotcrete into place.
