What is hydro demolition?

Hydro demolition is conducted using ultra high-pressure waterblasting to demolish and remove concrete. It is an effective method of removing unsound or deteriorating concrete to replace it with new material. The process also provides an excellent bonding surface for repair material and new coating applications. 
The advantages of hydro demolition over other methods of concrete removal include:
  • Reduction of dust
  • Reduction of noise
  • Faster process
  • There are no mechanical vibrations that may cause structural damage
  • The reinforcing steel is not damaged
  • Structural integrity remains sound and intact
  • Facilitate the selective removal of areas as needed

This process is also available for, and highly effective on:
  • Ships
  • Bridges
  • Concrete
  • Pools

We can blast and repaint your pool with the application of a fibreglass international-approved coating. Our team recently sandblasted the pebble surface of the Esplanade Lagoon pool to ensure a smooth surface.

The importance of correct surface preparation

We know that correct surface preparation is essential to ensuring coatings perform well and that the performance of a coating is significantly influenced by its ability to adhere properly to the substrate material. Using high-pressure waterblasting or sandblasting provides a suitable profile for a diverse range of coating applications.
