Hydro-Demolition/ Ultra-High Pressure Washing

introduction

Traditional methods of concrete removal and surface preparation can cause severe damage and vibrations to structures. AQL are specialists in Hydro-Demolition/ Hydro-Blasting which allows the desired areas of concrete to be removed using ultra high pressures of water, without causing additional damage to the structure, while also leaving the rebar unaffected.

Hydro-Demolition is achieved by jetting water at Ultra high pressure reaching nearly 20,000 PSI where appropriate. High pressure water blasting can also be used to remove coatings, concrete, unwanted contaminates and prepare a surface for new coatings. This method leaves an optimal surface for products to bond to. Hydro-Demolition achieves this without any vibrations or damage to rebar making it an ideal solution for delicate structures, such as post tensioned concrete.

Operatives of the Hydro-Jetting equipment are highly trained and highly experienced.

FAQs

 Hydro-demolition is also known as hydro-blasting, hydro-jetting and ultra-high pressure washing (UHP). Hydro-demolition is a method to remove concrete and other materials using extreme high-pressure water. Hydro-demolition is a method to cut through and break away concrete without affecting the structure or rebar.

- Hydro-blasting is vibration-free meaning it does not cause any cracking or weakening in the concrete or structure. It also does not have any effect on post tensioned concrete thanks to no vibrations.
-Ultra-high pressure washing (UHP) is dust free and very little noise is produced compared to traditional methods
- Localised sections of concrete can be removed without damaging the steel rebar within the concrete.
- Quicker, less disruptive and more accurate than traditional demolition or break out methods
- High Quality Bonding surface
- Suitable in confined spaces
