When you need concrete removal in preparation for structural repair, whether for a parking garage, a bridge, or anything in between, AK Industrial Services has the experience and expertise you need for your project.
Concrete removal with hydrodemolition — at the speed of more than 10 jackhammers — provides you with the results you need faster, drastically reducing demolition time.
When you need to get below the surface of concrete to perform structural repair, hydrodemolition is often the best solution. Compared to other methods, it reduces noise, eliminates dust, and can suit a wider range of job-site limitations.
Robotically-operated hydrodemolition equipment increases safety, minimize confined-space risks, and lower labor costs.
