Using hydro demolition methods reduces the risk of damaging immediate surrounding areas, including sound concrete where no damage or deterioration may be present. Hydro demolition can be conducted in a variety of ways including full hydro demolition, partial hydro demolition and scabbling. Full hydro demolition is the removal of an entire slab or section of concrete. Hydro demolition increases the speed of concrete removal over traditional removal methods providing an alternative cost effective solution. Other benefits from employing hydro demolition techniques include reduced dust emissions; reduced noise levels, mitigates potential risks of surrounding surface micro fracturing or cracking to structures and provides a more selective removal of unwanted concrete leaving sound concrete in situ. PCM Group NT can also provide scabbling services where only the top layer of concrete may need to be removed. UHP hydro scabbling ensures that once the top layer of concrete is removed, a rough, irregular surface profile is created ensuring a bonding profile is present for the new concrete layer to adhere to. Scabbling provides industry with safe, environmentally friendly and efficient means to remove areas of concrete which may be damaged or to assist in design changes or removal of surface bonded structures such as rail and transfer trolleys. Partial hydro demolition can be used to remove concrete materials to expose materials that may require replacement, works or repairs due to concrete cancer. Hydro demolition provides 7 of 15
