Civil Engineering & Construction

AmmLee Group brings over 20 years of hydrodemolition and hydroblasting experience to civil engineering and construction projects across the UK and Ireland. Our teams operate in complex, high-traffic environments where safety, precision, and minimal disruption are a must.

Our methods provide a vibration-free, dust-free, and non-percussive alternative to traditional concrete removal and industrial cleaning. Thissupports a wide range of civil and construction applications while preserving underlying structures and sensitive areas.

Hydrodemolition is used to remove defective or deteriorated concrete from bridges, retaining walls, slabs and reinforced elements without damaging the substrate or embedded steel. Using manual hand-lancing or robotic systems, we carry out precise removal without vibration or impact.

This leaves a clean, stable surface ready for repair or reinstatement. Work can continue without damaging nearby structures or affecting the strength of the remaining concrete.

We use hydrodemolition to crop concrete piles to specified cut-off levels on construction and civil engineering sites. The water jetting process removes excess concrete cleanly without disturbing the pile core or damaging adjacent structures.

This allows safe follow-on works to begin without delay. Pile cropping using hydrodemolition avoids cracking and overbreak, making it a reliable option on sites where accuracy is essential.

Hydroblasting is used to remove worn or damaged surfaces from concrete and asphalt. It leaves a roughened, debris-free finish that is ready for resurfacing, coating, or membrane installation.

We also remove road and surface markings without abrasives or chemicals. This protects the base layer and avoids scarring, helping maintain surface integrity across roads, runways and industrial yards.

Our hydrodemolition concrete repair process is used to remove spalled or deteriorated concrete from structures affected by corrosion, water ingress, or thermal stress. It targets only damaged areas, leaving sound concrete and reinforcement intact.

This all results in creating a clean profile for repairs to bond to. It also helps prevent further deterioration and supports long-lasting restoration work.

High-pressure water jetting is used to clean internal and external surfaces across civil infrastructure. This includes tanks, tunnels, spillways, culverts and drainage systems. It removes sediment, scale and built-up material without damaging the structure.

Cleaning restores access and function. Surfaces are left clear for inspection, maintenance, or follow-up work, reducing the need for manual cleaning or abrasive methods.

In addition to hydrodemolition and hydroblasting, we offer cutting and drilling services for concrete and reinforced structures. This includes diamond core drilling, wall sawing, and floor sawing.

These methods support access, breakout and structural modification work. They are often used alongside water jetting as part of a complete solution.

AmmLee Group brings over 20 years of hydrodemolition and hydroblasting expertise to a wide range of industries. Our adaptable methods deliver safe, precise results in complex environments – from confined spaces to remote or high-risk sites – with minimal disruption and no chemical impact.
