What is hydrodemolition? If you need it, Jet Blast delivers!
Hydrodemolition is a popular method used in multiple industrial and construction applications. This technique of blasting has been used for at least two hundred years and is more refined now than ever before. At Jet Blast Inc., we know about water jet blasting, hydrodemolition, and hydro excavation. Let’s get into the power of hydrodemolition!
What Is Hydrodemolition?
Hydrodemolition is the use of high-pressure water to blast through objects such as concrete. Having its roots in explosives and mining, using water for demolition purposes is efficient and widely used today for demolishing concrete either at the surface level, partial level, or entirely.
How Does It Work?
Today’s hydrodemolition technology keeps safety in mind and uses today’s trusted technology, such as radio signals, to remotely control hydrodemolition machinery. An operator will stand at a safe distance and remotely control the machines. A pump carries water into the hydroblasting machine, which robotically moves and blasts the pressurized water through a specific nozzle. The crew can also collect the wastewater, filter it, and dispose of it properly.
Why Use Water?
Water is a powerful force that can have amazing or catastrophic results. If you have heard of or seen floods, you understand just how unbelievably powerful water can be. Thankfully, this force of nature can also be used for good in the form of hydrodemolition. Water is one of the most flexible demolition tools one can use; specialized equipment allows for hydrodemolition in confined spaces, tight corners, and broad surfaces alike.
It also is far more powerful, efficient, and effective than jackhammers. Mechanical tools can leave unseen cracks in the remaining concrete, but pressurized water does not. It only takes away what is necessary without damaging remaining concrete or rebar.
What Are Hydrodemolition Applications?
Hydrodemolition is used for the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, and other industrial structures.
