Concrete Hydrodemolition

View Details

Concrete Hydrodemolition

Concrete Hydrodemolition is used to cut & remove concrete whilst leaving steel reinforcement and structural embedments undamaged and ready for re-use. We use High Pressure or Ultra High Pressure water jets, offering the benefits of safe, effective and vibration-free concrete removal. Useful for Civil Engineering, Oil & Gas Exploration, Utilities & Power Generation, Marine Structures & Demolition.

Robotic Removal

Our Robotic Hydrodemoltion Robots are used for mass removal of concrete for up to 300mm in depth, most suitable for deck works, soffits and walls up to 6 metres in height. They are controlled by a single operator, robust, and lightweight. With all the benefits of normal High Pressure or Ultra High Pressure Water Jets such as safety, and effective removal.

Hand Held

Our Hand Held hydrodemolition tools are used for precision & mass removal of concrete, plumbed into portable units with an output of 20 – 250 litres per minute, and up to 3000 bar working pressure. Mostly used in spaces with restricted access with accuracy to the millimetre required. Our mass removal gimbal mounted lances use jetting units of up to 450kw and can cut over 1 metre thick.

Surface Preparation and Coatings Removal

Surface Preparation & Coatings Removal uses Ultra High Pressure Water Jets to clean and prepare surfaces, such as removing paint, rust, or other coatings, this is known as Hydroblasting. This technque is safer and more cost effective than alternatives like dry abrasive blast cleaning or mechanical methods. Typically these are used on Steel Surfaces or Concrete Surfaces.

Steel Surface Preparation & Coatings Removal

We use a Limpet for Steel Surface Preparation that attaches to the steel structure using a powerful vaccum and also removes all wastewater, dust and debris via it’s filtration system. This is typically used on storage tanks, bridges & large marine structures. Often used for surface maintenance, it can also be used for cleaning welded seams.

Cold Cutting by Abrasive Water Jet

Cold Cutting by Abrasive Water Jetting will cut any substance without heat or sparks, making it ideal for use in harzardous environments. This technique is typically used in storage tanks, pipes, maintenance, and repair works. The Jetknife system is remote controlled, removing operatives from the work face and reducing hazards.

Underwater Pile Cutting

We use our Jetknife system for Underwater Pile Cutting, a remotely controlled system that allows us to cut up to 50 metres below bed level. Suitable for deployment from marine vessels such as, pontoons, multicats or jack-up barges. Primarily used for decomissions tubular steel, sheet or concrete piles.

Pipeline Cleaning

We use an innovative method of Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting that allows us to clear pipelines of restrictions or clean blockages, scale, sludge and redundant linings. Our Rotoream system can clean hundreds of metres and negotiate bends from a single access point. Making this efficient, as well as a safe alternative to other methods in hazardous environments.

Tank & Vessel Cleaning

A build up of contamination on the side of vessels, agitator shafts, & blades can cause significant problems, such as equipment failure. We use remote controlled machinery to clean these areas before they become a problem. Better running machinery means, less downtime, better batch runs, and overall lower running costs.
