Hydrodemolition is efficient, fast, and less labor intensive than traditional concrete demolition methods. Whether you’re working on a bridge deck, a tunnel, an airport, or a sidewalk, hydrodemolition could be the answer for your project needs.
Jackhammers are the traditional method for concrete removal. However, they can do more harm than good in the removal process. Jackhammers can remove sound concrete that does not require removal, can cause microfractures in the surrounding concrete, and can damage the underlying rebar or other structures.
Hydrodemolition is more precise than traditional demolition methods. Hydrodemolition also saves your projects time and money, since hydrodemolition takes a fraction of the time that jackhammering does. It can also cost less in the long run, especially when it helps avoid the repairs often necessitated by jackhammering.
Hydrodemolition can also decrease labor costs. Our robotic hydrodemolition can often do work in places that are difficult for people, including overhead in tunnels and on dam faces. Less labor means lower costs for your project.
Traditional concrete demolitions are loud, messy, and less exacting. Hydrodemolition is relatively quieter, more efficient, and more precise. Check out our containment and cleanup methods here, or read more about the environmental considerations of hydrodemolition here.
