Hydrodemolition

Hydrodemolition preserves surrounding concrete & steel

Concrete cutting by means of hydrodemolition, also called hydroblasting, is the process of removing hardened concrete, using ultra-high-pressure water jetting. Unlike mechanical methods of concrete demolition which impact the structure, hydroblasting does not damage the surrounding concrete or steel. If the reinforcing steel is to be retained, then hydrodemolition is the preferred technique by our concrete cutters to ensure the steel is not damaged.

Expert concrete cutters

A further advantage of hydrodemolition, particularly in occupied buildings, is the lack of structure-borne noise transmitted through the building. This can be the number one concern for a building owner contemplating a building project which involves concrete cutting. If the area to be addressed is inside the building, our concrete cutters can utilise our low-flow-rate equipment to allow full containment of run-off.

Not sure if hydroblasting is the right solution? Talk to our experienced concrete cutters about your site. We also do concrete stripping.
