Hydrodemolition (or Hydro Demolition) is the controlled use of high-pressure water jets to remove or demolish concrete. The hydrodemolition process is an incredibly safe and efficient way to cut and remove concrete without affecting steel substructures and other important parts of buildings or machinery.
As well as being incredibly effective, Hydrodemolition is also gentler on the environment. High pressure water jetting is much quieter than the heavy-duty equipment that is traditionally used, reducing the acoustic impact on surrounding areas. Waste water can easily be collected and filtered to prevent cross-contamination, and our operations comply with ISO 14001 for responsible environmental management.
Demolition by high-pressure water jet produces no vibration, preventing cracking or damage to surrounding areas.
It is an extremely affordable solution, making it a perfect option for businesses who are budget conscious.
The water jetting process leaves behind an outstanding bonding surface, ready to receive new coatings or applications.
The Robotic Hydrodemolition technique enables optimum productivity and safety, resulting in less down time.
Robotic Hydrodemolition involves systematically targeting the desired area of concrete with high-pressure water jets. These robots can withstand extremely high reaction forces, meaning that they make use of much larger pumps, saving fuel and enabling you to work in a more eco-friendly manner.
A refractory lining, typically made from alumina and silica, is installed into the inside of vessels exposed to high temperatures such as furnaces, boilers and incinerators.
At Hydroblast, we use high-pressure water jetting equipment to remove worn refractory lining efficiently and effectively, saving businesses time and money.
Our HVD robot enables us to work at great heights without risking the safety of any of our operatives. This is a truly practical and safe Hydrodemolition solution that eliminates the need for scaffolding, which can be expensive as well as posing hazards.
We possess the very latest high and ultra high-pressure water jetting apparatus, and we are ready to take on all types of concrete removal jobs throughout the entire UK no matter how large or small. As hand lancing is better suited to smaller jobs, you may select this service for minor tasks and choose Robotic Hydrodemolition for larger or more challenging work.
Water jetting makes our Scabbling process much safer than traditional forms of Concrete Removal, limiting the chances of operatives inhaling dangerous silica dust by dampening any dust clouds. At Hydroblast, we prioritise the safety of our operatives by investing in top of the range remote control equipment, meaning that we can often keep staff away from the blast zone.
Using a variety of expert equipment, we are able to remove unwanted concrete beneath the surface of the water.
Depending on the nature of the job, Hydroblast will either supply specialist diving guns (for both the UK and overseas) or employ a diving company, working collaboratively towards quick and safe Hydrodemolition Underwater.
Hydroblast is one of the UK’s most experienced providers of Water Jet Hydrodemolition and other high pressure water jetting services. Our consistent results, customer service and attitude towards health and safety has resulted in a loyal customer base and exposure to different industries and projects.
We can provide both manual and robotic demolition depending on your needs and the demands of your site. Our highly trained team are equipped with market-leading machinery to ensure they can deliver the best possible standards. Hydroblast are also members of The Water Jetting Association for their expertise as well as safety and training. When you need a fast and effective service, Hydroblast are proud to serve.
To support environmentally responsible operations, Hydroblast utilise advanced SiltBuster systems to capture, filter and clean the water used during works, helping to minimise waste, control runoff and meet strict environmental standards on site.
