TL;DR: Ferrovial Construction used hydrodemolition technology in the North Tarrant Express Capacity Improvements Project (NTE CIP) in Texas. This innovative method allowed for precise and environmentally sustainable demolition of bridge structures while maintaining worker safety and reducing public disruption. The approach involved recycling water, minimizing debris, and preserving existing rebar. The successful application of this technology marked a significant milestone

The process of demolition often conjures images of wrecking balls swinging into structures or buildings being enveloped in clouds of dust after a spectacular implosion. But what truly lies behind the dramatic facade of demolition is a highly sophisticated, technical, and crucial aspect of the construction industry.  In this exploration, we’re going to unearth some startling facts about demolition that

The construction and demolition industry has long been associated with significant environmental impacts, from the loud rumble of heavy machinery to less visible carbon emissions and resource depletion. But as awareness of environmental protection grows, the sector is undergoing a groundbreaking transformation—towards sustainable, eco-friendly practices. There’s also the fact that the EPA and the government are incentivizing going green (1)for

In the construction industry, the foundation of a structure is key to its longevity and safety. Piles, which are deep foundation elements, are used to transfer the load of a structure to the more competent strata below. Understanding the various types of piles and how to properly cut them is essential for, project managers, construction workers, and civil engineers. Aggregate

Demolition sites are fraught with potential hazards, many of which stem from the materials used in construction. These hazards have the potential to be detrimental to a construction or demolition site and the team involved within and around it. Not only are they problematic for the actual site, but they’re also an issue for those trying to reduce their carbon

I’m sure you’ve heard about HydroDemolition by now, as it’s a hot topic in your field.  HydroDemolition is the use of water to remove concrete or other materials. The process uses HydroDemolition robots and has been around since the late 1970s. However, HydroDemolition has only really gained popularity in the last 20-30 years. At its core, the process is already

HydroDemolition is a dynamic solution for many of our modern demolition, concrete cutting, and construction projects. Throughout the last twenty years, HydroDemolition has earned its reputation as being efficient, precise, safe, and better for the environment. Aggregate Technologies has over 25 years of industry experience, with over 100 years of combined industry knowledge. We pride ourselves on being one of

While working with concrete may seem like a simple task, there are a lot of different things that can go wrong. Unfortunately, mistakes are not always evident at the beginning. While concrete errors can cause problems for timetables and budgets, advances in robotic concrete removal methods are making them easier to fix. HydroDemolition is a fantastic solution for many common

Hydrodemolition has been around since the late 1970s, however, it didn’t gain much traction until the late 1990s. For about 20-30 years, it has been a trusted form of demolition for many and is quickly becoming the preferred, recommended method of demolition, concrete removal, and repair. Hydrodemolition is both simple and complex, and there’s a lot that you should know

Knowledge is power, and knowledge is safety, and everyone always has something to learn, even when you think you’ve learned it all. This is especially true for the construction industry, which is rapidly changing and evolving at an alarming rate. This construction industry is also getting greener, as the industry is a massive consumer of raw materials and natural resources.
