Hydraulic bursting enables the fragmentation and removal of large masses of concrete, either horizontally or vertically, with or without reinforcement.

A matrix of holes are diamond drilled into the concrete and hydraulic pistons inserted. These are expanded under hydraulic pressure to crack the concrete.

As a vibration free demolition method, hydraulic bursting can be especially useful when working in noise and vibration sensitive environments such as offices and hospitals. Use of the burster is also mostly dust free. As a result, works can be completed in enclosed areas without the dust that is typical of standard demolition work. In this way, we can avoid the serious health risks caused by airborne dust without the need for the hire of expensive ventilation equipment.
