Concrete Demolition

With 20 years experience in industrial cleaning Hydrojet Systems are capable of tailoring solutions to unique applications.

• Hydro Scabbling

  Surface preparation is a critical factor in the performance of coatings and repair materials applied to concrete. Our method consists of directing a high velocity, high-pressure water jet to the concrete surface through a specially designed nozzle that travels transversely along a boom. The boom sweeps back and forth across the concrete surface as the equipment advances incrementally. The equipment can be used in applications ranging from laitance removal to hydro-demolition of concrete to depths of up to 300 mm (12”).

  Advantages of Hydro Scabbling

  There is no dust and noise is minimal. There are no mechanical vibrations that may cause structural damage. The machine selectively removes deteriorated concrete and leaves healthy concrete intact. The reinforcing steel is not damaged. The removal of deteriorated concrete is faster than by conventional methods such as jackhammers.

  

• Concrete Cutting and Cold Cutting

  Abrasive, ultra-high pressure water jetting is suitable for effectively cutting a range of materials used in industry. Materials include alloyed construction resources, steels, concrete and reinforced concrete. The high pressure water jetting cutting process has no vibrations, creates no dust, vapour, gas, slag, thermal or mechanical stress, and can be automated.

• Hydro Demolition

  Hydrojet Systems use high pressure water jets to demolish and remove concrete whilst leaving the rebar intact. Our method is mainly used to remove concrete from sensitive structures such as dams, tunnels, turbine linings, bridges, parking decks, harbours and docks under repairs. The variable parameters of the technique, water pressure, jet size and speed of application, make it possible to remove concrete in a very precise and controlled way.

• Concrete Truck Drum Cleaning

  Our technique enables the speedy removal of remnant concrete in the interior of the drum, without personnel physically entering the drum.
