HYDRODEMOLITION Contractor of choice

Hydro demolition: The Science Behind the Solution

Speak to the UK’s leading hydrodemolition contractor about the most effective and accurate way to remove concrete, by utilising robotic or hand lance methodology.

Hydro demolition leverages the power of high-pressure water jets to efficiently remove concrete. This innovative technique involves directing a precise stream of water at high velocity onto the concrete surface, causing it to fracture and break away.

Our team of experts can customise hydro demolition solutions to suit a wide range of applications, including:

Infrastructure repair – Bridges, tunnels, carparks, buildings etc
Building demolition
Concrete surface preparation
Industrial cleaning
Choose hydro demolition for a cleaner, safer, and more efficient approach to concrete removal and remove the risk of;
Vibration to the remaining or adjacent structure
Dust
Hand arm vibration
Cost increase linked with programme delays

WHY USE HYDRODEMOLITION?

HEALTH & SAFETY

Health and safety is undoubtedly the primary concern of all hydrodemolition contractors, and questions are often asked surrounding this area.

Whilst high pressure water jetting is considered the safest approach to concrete removal and demolition, our team remain committed to upholding the highest health and safety standards.

All operators are required to wear protective equipment as standard; steel-toed boots, eye protection, earmuffs and a hard hat for robotic hydrodemolition and steel-toed boots, metatarsals, shin guards and sometimes body armor for hand lance hydrodemolition.

Buxton Water Ltd are proud members of the Water Jetting Association, Chas, RISQS, Constructionline, Link-Up and are certified under the CSCS.

HYDRODEMOLITION WATER USAGE

We are commonly asked questions surrounding the water usage of both robotic hydrodemolition and hand lance hydrodemolition and, whilst this is something which must be considered in relation to a specific project, as a general rule robotic hydrodemolition offers an efficiency of around 30% water usage compared to hand lance hydrodemolition, as a result of the angle of the water jet on impact.

When it comes to waste water treatment; there’s a requirement for that produced during hydrodemolition to be dealt with in a safe manner, something handled professionally by our experienced contractors.
