Hydro Demolition

Have a look at this video where we are demonstrating some of our hydro demolition services: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9dWr-DAo_Y

High Pressure Water Jetting Birmingham

Hydro-demolition is the controlled removal of concrete using high pressure, high speed water has several advantages over traditional air tool, machine mounted breakers. Including:

1. Minimal vibration to the operator

2. No loose or damaged concrete on the edge of breakout area

3. No damage to steel reinforcing

4. Removal of concrete around dense reinforcing (impossible using air breakers)

5. Thorough washing / self cleaning of breakout area

Hydro Demolition

The use of hydro-demolition is becoming more widespread amongst the construction industry and especially within the civil engineering sector. The main reasons for this is because it doesn't cause any damage to surrounding steel reinforcing and It allows for the removal of concrete in dense areas. We are able to undertake a variety of hydrodem projects that include bearing removal, parapet demolition and more.

Concrete cutting Birmingham

There are many Concrete cutting Birmingham services and we offer a brilliant service for concrete cutting. Concrete can either be cut using concrete cutting tools and can be removed using hydro demolition methods. Concrete cutting tools can be found in hardware shops but it is better to go to a professional Concrete cutter in Birmingham to get the job done.

Surface Preperation

Surface preparation is carried out using  a variety of flows, pressures and different nozzle designs. We usually start the process using a twin jet rotary nozzle with pressures of 450 BAR. This method is extremely effective for cleaning floors, factories and bridges, it removes all loose concrete and carbon build up. This technique is very cost effective as it can be used from one of our 150hp jetting units.

Hydro Demolition Birmingham

Some of you may wonder what Hydro Demolition is well it is the controlled removal using high speed, high pressure water. It has a few advantages over traditional air tool, machine mounted breakers which are, minimal vibration to the operator, no damage to steel reinforcing and more.

A1260 Bridge Structures Project

Below are details of one of our projects, we have further examples of our other projects to come!

The work on the A1260 was carried out for Osborne and completed by the end of March 2011. The challenge was to remove 245m³ from 12 piers in the shortest time possible. Due to the nature of the project we were competing with different methods of removal at tender stage and we had to ensure that our proposals were both cost effective and able to meet the demands of the programme.

On each pier there was 20.46m³ to be removed and we set ourselves the timeframe of 4 No 24hr periods to complete this. This meant operating with two crews during the day and two crews during the night.

Unfortunately there was no water supply available at any of the piers, which would have been a major problem had we not been able to use our tanker units to both jet with and as static tanks. We then arranged for a local contractor, IWJS, to collect and deliver water into our tanks throughout the day and night shifts to allow us to jet continuously for 20hrs per day, only stopping to allow clear up of the huge volumes of concrete being removed.

During the first phase of 6 piers we encountered a few teething problems similar to any that occur on a project of this magnitude. We also had to work through freezing conditions with temperatures dropping to minus 14 on site, which is obviously not ideal for water jetting. Despite the difficulties we were able to complete the first phase on programme and leave Osborne extremely satisfied with our performance.

When the second phase began we knew that we would be able to comfortably meet the programme and we therefore reduced the number of jetting crews to three. We also managed to reduce the time taken to complete each pier to 3 No 24hr periods as the freezing weather had subsided and everybody on site knew what was required for the job. The second phase was completed successfully over a 5 week period.

Water Jet Concrete Cutting

A technique of cutting concrete that uses no heat or spark is to use a water jet. Water jet concrete cutting uses compressed water that travels at twice the speed of sound to cut through concrete. The water used is at a high pressure, over 25,000 psi. This allows precise control over the cutting, resulting in the creation of complex shapes.
