Concrete Removal & Cutting

Water Jet Concrete Removal

At Hydroblast we are experts when it comes to concrete removal using high pressure water jets. We can offer top of the range equipment and highly experienced operatives to rework your damaged concrete surfaces, get rid of unwanted areas of concrete, and safely expose the underlying support structure or rebar.

Why Use Hydro Demolition for the Removal of Concrete ?

Hydrodemolition is a much better option than mechanical techniques such as chiselling or jackhammering, because unlike those methods it does not cause small cracks in the surrounding concrete or result in damage to the overall structure of the rebar.

Safer Alternative to Traditional Concrete Demolition Methods

High Pressure Water Jet Concrete Demolition is also much safer, faster and more effective than hand lancing, which is a simpler and more basic form of water jetting which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as hydrodemolition. The hydrodemolition technique evolved from the use of high pressure water jets for making holes, drilling, breaking up or cutting concrete. High pressure water jets have long been used as a way of efficiently destroying or breaking up a wide variety of different materials, especially concrete.

Time Efficient

One of the main benefits of hydrodemolition is its speed and efficiency. The Aqua Cutter removes the old concrete at a much faster rate than the old jackhammers – even up to 25 times faster in many cases, which is an enormous difference.

What Is Water Jet Concrete Cutting?

Concrete Cutting is achieved using the Hydrodemolition method. Over periods of time concrete deteriorates and needs to be re-applied however concrete must first be cut. There are many methods to choose from when concrete cutting including demolition, quick fixes or Hydrodemolition.

Hydrodemolition is an efficient and safe way to cut concrete. At Hydroblast, we use the Aqua Jet Systems such as the Aqua Cutter to carry out this task. Using Robotic Hydrodemolition allows power, speed and most importantly precision with all types of concrete cutting. Our Aqua Jet equipment is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of environments such as Roads, Bridges, Runways and Power Plants.

The Aqua Jet Systems are built with an EDS (Equal Distance System) which allows the operator to decide to what depth and where the concrete should be cut. Once the right depth has been achieved, the power head can then move either up or down depending on the settings the operator provided providing precision concrete cutting.
