What are the benefits of hydro demolition?
Also known as hydro blasting, hydro demolition has been in use since the 1980s as an alternative method of precision demolition, used for cutting through and removing concrete, grout and asphalt in situations where the targeted area needs to be clearly defined.
Here are just a few of the benefits of hydro demolition:
- Concrete can be effectively removed without any risk of damage to the steel substructures within or around the concrete
- The method is vibration-free, meaning no risk of cracks or microfracture damage to surrounding structures, as well as making the process safer for workers
- No toxic chemicals are used during hydro demolition
- No dust or noise pollution is generated during the process
- The water used during the process is collected and purified after use, further ensuring the environmental friendliness of the process
- The process is quicker and more cost-effective than other demolition methods, as well as requiring less disruption
The technique is ideal for removing asphalt and grout that is damaged or has deteriorated, or to cut away grout that has spilled into drains during the construction process. These techniques were also used by the oil industry in Kuwait during the 1990s to clean well heads after they had been damaged by conflict, enabling them to be capped and made safe.
The versatility of hydro demolition means that it is used in a wide range of applications, including the removal of concrete from:
- Bridges
- Parking structures
- Dams, tunnels and aqueducts
- Water treatment facilities and power plants
- Piers and docks
- Stadiums
- Warehouses
