Bursting and Crushing
Concrete Bursting or Hydraulic Bursting is a safe and
environmentally friendly method of weakening,
cracking and demolishing large structures.
It enables the removal of smaller more managable
pieces of concrete, in a silent and vibration free
way, without the use of large machinery.
This system is ideal
when the required
concrete removal is
very close to another
structure, raising
concerns regarding
the effect of vibration
on the building’s
foundations.
The technique
of ‘Crushing’ is
used for removing
concrete with
hydraulic concrete
crackers, allowing
easy reduction of
reinforced concrete
into rubble.
Due to this method
being almost noise
and vibration free,
its use is preferred
over conventional
demolition processes.
