Hand Lancing

What is Hydrodemolition Hand Lancing

Hydrodem handlancing is a method of concrete removal that uses high or ultra-high-pressure water jets, operated manually by skilled technicians, to selectively remove deteriorated or unwanted concrete. It is particularly suited for smaller-scale or detailed jobs, such as patch repairs, edge works, or concrete removal in confined or awkward spaces, where precision and careful control are required. Because it uses only water (without heavy impact or vibrations), handlancing preserves adjacent structures, like embedded steel reinforcement, and leaves a clean, well-prepared surface ready for repairs or re-coating.

Using Hand lancing: What It Does

Handlancing uses high or ultra-high-pressure water jets to carefully remove damaged or unwanted concrete. This method ensures precision, allowing operators to target only the areas that need attention.

It is particularly effective for small-scale or detailed work, such as patch repairs, edges, and areas that are difficult to reach with larger machinery. The technique allows for thorough cleaning without causing vibrations or structural damage.

By leaving a smooth, clean surface, Handlancing prepares the concrete for coatings, overlays, or repair work. It’s a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for concrete removal in a variety of settings.
