Each day, power stations in Scotland contribute a large amount of electricity into the National Grid via the transmission network. This network comprises of underground cables, overhead wooden poles, steel towers and electricity substations extending across some of...
Recently, Hydroblast were tasked with removing the external parapets from two flyover bridges. To accomplish this task (removing over 158m3 of concrete), we chose to forgo hand lancing, opting to use our robotic hydrodemolition equipment instead, as we knew that this...
Water jet cutting is becoming increasingly popular as its benefits become more well known. Some may be unaware of these benefits or unsure of how it differs from laser cutting. Let’s take a look at both methods and weigh up the benefits of each. What is laser...
High and ultra-high pressure water jets are renowned for their ability to effortlessly cut through concrete cleanly and precisely. Recent advancements in water jet technology have improved concrete cutting possibilities yet further, enabling geometric shapes of all...
Hydrodemolition is fast becoming the preferred method of demolition thanks to meeting today’s stringent health and safety, time and cost requirements. Through the use of robotic machinery, hydrodemolition equipment is now capable of tackling 95% of all...
Hydrodemolition is one of the most eco-friendly forms of demolition, replacing unpredictable explosives and difficult to control machinery with robotic, high-pressure water jets. Hydrodemolition has become the environmentally-friendly demolition method it is today...
