HydroDemolition & Debris Containment
Hydrodemolition (also known as hydro-demolition, hydro blasting, hydro blasting, hydro milling, water blasting, and water jetting) is a concrete removal technique which utilizes high-pressure water to remove deteriorated and sound concrete as well as asphalt and grout. This process provides an excellent bonding surface for repair material and new coating applications. First developed in Europe in the 1970s, this technology has become widely accepted for concrete removal and surface preparation throughout Europe and North America.
Hydrodemolition is not used as much for demolition as it is for surface restoration and protection projects. When the concrete has deteriorated or the reinforcing steel has begun to corrode, it is necessary to remove any unsound concrete and reinforcing bars (rebar) in order to replace it with new concrete and maintain the integrity of the structure. This process has also been used to remove sound concrete that is not compromised in any way. This may be done to install a preventive cathodic protection system, or to remove concrete in structures in which vibration is a concern. Unlike jackhammers, hydrodemolition does not produce vibrations throughout a structure and therefore does not introduce microfractures.
Water Blasting away large amounts of debris is a great way to move and contain industrial and commercial debris.
