How can we help?
Silver Raven specialises in the provision of all Ultra High Pressure (UHP) and High Pressure (HP) Hydro Demolition techniques including manual, machine mounted and robotic systems. We develop our own systems to suit specific projects and can provide a solution for any type of hydro demolition project.
Traditional demolition methods cause damage to sound concrete via both excessive vibration and direct mechanical damage. This causes micro cracking, and essentially instigates the failure mechanism of the remaining concrete.
- No vibration and therefore no stress fractures of the remaining substrate
- No dust produced
- No damage to steel reinforcement
- Cleans the steel during the demolition process
- No Sparks = Avoids ‘Hot Works’ Restrictions
- Creates a clean aggressive substrate for superior bonding of the repair materials
Hydro Demolition can be used to completely demolish a full depth section of a concrete structure or it can be used to remove a partial depth section only exposing the top layer of reinforcing steel for concrete repair.
Because no sparks or dust are generated, it is safe to use in areas where there may be a flammable atmosphere or where the base material has been contaminated by flammable or volatile compounds. The automated demolition may be machine mounted or a fully robotic apparatus that is operated remotely.
Common applications for Hydro Demolition are:
