Concrete Crunching

Concrete crunching, also known as shearing or hydraulic demolition, involves the use of heavy-duty hydraulic equipment to crush concrete structures into smaller, manageable pieces. These machines, often fitted with hydraulic hammers or shearing blades, are capable of tackling reinforced concrete structures with minimal fragmentation. Concrete crunching is particularly effective for demolition projects where the concrete debris needs to be carefully controlled and sorted for recycling or disposal.

Compact and portable, making it ideal for confined spaces
Low noise and dust pollution, suitable for built up areas

Concrete Bursting

Concrete bursting is a technique that utilises hydraulic pressure to shatter concrete structures. It involves drilling or inserting specialised bursting agents into the concrete, which are then pressurised to create controlled fractures and break the concrete apart. This method is particularly useful for demolishing large concrete structures or components, such as bridge decks or retaining walls, while minimising damage to surrounding areas.
Quiet and dust-free making it more environmentally friendly
Precise control over the shape and sizes of concrete pieces
Efficient at removing large amounts of concrete
Ideal for removing foundations without damaging surrounding infrastructure
Can be used to create openings in walls with affecting structural integrity
Commonly used from breaking up concrete slabs in all settings

Brokk Demolition

Brokk demolition refers to the use of Brokk remotely controlled demolition robots. These self-propelled machines are equipped with a variety of demolition tools, such as hydraulic hammers, shears, grapples, and saws, enabling us to dismantle concrete, steel, and other structures with precision. Brokk demolition robots are particularly well-suited for demolition in confined spaces, hazardous environments, or where a human presence is not feasible or safe.
Ideal for confined indoor spaces
Suitable for big and small demolitions
Safe, efficient robotic demolition
Dust and noise-free demolition
No harmful fumes as it's electro-hydraulic

Very professional and great expertise. I booked them very last minute to drill 2 holes for an AC unit and they were very accommodating; great communication the day before, arrived on time in the morning, and did an excellent job. Even stayed longer to help install the AC. Would definitely recommend them!

Bailey and his team were ready and available at a moments notice to attend my job in central London over the weekend. The job was not straight-forward but they worked around the problems and successfully core drilled out all holes as required. Would definitely recommend and will keep their details for future works.

Benefits of Controlled Demolition Services

Safety

Controlled demolition is meticulously planned and executed to minimise the risk of accidents and collateral damage.

Efficacy

Controlled demolition methods are designed to dismantle structures efficiently and effectively, even in challenging environments. Specialised techniques, Brokk demolition robots, enable precise targeting and dismantling of specific structures or components, minimising the overall demolition time and effort.

Environmental Protection

Controlled demolition prioritises environmental protection by minimising dust, debris, and air pollution. Techniques like wet cutting and hydraulic demolition utilise water to suppress dust generation and prevent airborne contaminants, reducing the environmental impact of demolition activities.

Recycling and Resource Recovery

Controlled demolition methods often incorporate techniques that facilitate recycling or reuse of materials. For instance, mechanical dismantling can separate valuable materials like steel and concrete for recycling, while concrete bursting can be used to salvage rebar and other reinforcing elements.

Sustainability

Controlled demolition contributes to sustainable practices by minimising waste generation and promoting the reuse or recycling of demolition materials. This aligns with the broader trend of sustainable construction practices that aim to reduce environmental impact and promote resource conservation.
