Precise concrete removal using high-pressure water technology

Hydrodemolition is a precise method of removing concrete using high pressure water jets. It provides a reliable alternative to mechanical methods such as breakers and jackhammers, which can cause vibration and structural damage.


Hydrodemoltion is suitable for both small and large scale projects, using handheld or robotic equipment to achieve controlled and accurate results.


Key features and benefits include:


  • Selective removal of damaged concrete only


  • No vibration, reducing the risk of cracking


  • Protection of steel reinforcement and surrounding structure


  • Accurate depth control and consistent surface preparation


  • Reduced dust and noise on site


  • Use of water only, with no chemicals involved



  • Compliance with safety and environmental standards

Applications

Hydrodemolition is suitable for a wide range of concrete repair and removal projects. Its precision, safety and flexibility make it ideal for both small-scale maintenance and large infrastructure works.

  • Bridge & Tunnel Repair

    Hydrodemolition removes damaged concrete from bridge decks, supports and tunnel linings without affecting the steel reinforcement or surrounding structure. This helps extend the service life of the structure and allows for accurate preparation before new concrete is applied.

  • Parking Structures

    In multi-storey and underground car parks, hydrodemolition provides a clean and controlled way to remove deteriorated concrete. It reduces vibration and dust, which is essential when working near occupied or enclosed areas.

  • Dams & Spillways

    The process is well suited to hydraulic structures, as it uses water rather than mechanical force or chemicals. This prevents microcracks and ensures the repaired surface remains watertight and structurally sound.

  • Industrial Plants

    Hydrodemolition allows for selective removal of concrete around machinery foundations, tanks and process areas. It limits dust and debris, helping maintain safe working conditions in active industrial environments.

  • Marine and Port Structures

    For piers, quay walls and marine platforms, hydrodemolition can remove damaged concrete affected by corrosion or saltwater exposure. It preserves reinforcement and provides a clean surface for durable repair in harsh coastal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Hydrodemolition?

    Hydrodemolition is a concrete removal method that uses high pressure water jets. You use it to remove damaged or weak concrete while keeping sound concrete and steel reinforcement intact. The process avoids vibration and reduces the risk of structural damage, making it suitable for repair and refurbishment work.


    For a more detailed explanation of the process and its uses, read our dedicated blog post on what is Hydrodemolition.


  • What are the methods of Hydrodemolition?

    Hydrodemolition can be carried out using handheld equipment or robotic systems. Handheld units are suitable for small areas, edges and detailed work. Robotic systems are used for larger surfaces and complex structures, providing consistent depth control and high productivity while keeping operators at a safe distance.



  • What are the key benefits of Hydrodemolition?

    You achieve precise concrete removal without vibration or microcracking. Steel reinforcement remains undamaged and clean, which supports strong bonding for new concrete. The process produces less dust and noise and uses only water, helping you meet safety and environmental standards while reducing disruption on site.
