At Controlled Demolition Group, safety is more than a commitment—it’s the foundation of our operation. As a leader in specialized demolition services across Canada, we continuously invest in advanced techniques that protect our crews, minimize environmental impact, and deliver superior results for our clients. One such innovation is hydro demolition—a precision method that uses high-pressure water jets to remove concrete without compromising the structural integrity of surrounding materials.
1. Eliminating Vibration-Related Injuries
Conventional concrete removal methods like jackhammers can cause serious health risks, including hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Hydro demolition is a non-percussive technique, which means our crews are no longer exposed to harmful vibration levels—resulting in safer, more ergonomic working conditions.
2. Controlling Airborne Dust and Silica Exposureissions
Concrete dust and airborne silica are major health concerns on demolition sites. Because hydro demolition uses only water—without cutting, grinding, or chiseling—it eliminates airborne particulate exposure, reducing the need for extensive respiratory protection and promoting a cleaner, safer worksite.
3. Reducing Noise Pollution
Noise-induced hearing loss is an ongoing challenge in the demolition industry. Our hydro demolition equipment operates at lower decibel levels compared to jackhammers and saws, making it ideal for sensitive environments like hospitals, public facilities, and urban projects where noise control is essential.
4. Increasing Control and Reducing Structural Damage
With hydro demolition, we can target only the deteriorated concrete, leaving the surrounding structure and rebar intact. This improves the quality of repairs and avoids unintentional damage—saving clients both time and money while enhancing overall site safety.
5. Keeping Workers at a Safe Distance
Our robotic hydro demolition units can be operated remotely, allowing technicians to remain safely away from hazardous work zones. This minimizes risk from falling debris or surface failures, offering a major safety upgrade over traditional demolition techniques.
The Controlled Advantage
Hydro demolition is just one example of how Controlled Demolition Group is redefining safety and performance in the demolition industry. Whether it’s a bridge rehabilitation, hydroelectric dam upgrade, or urban infrastructure renewal, we deliver smarter, safer solutions—every time.
