HydroDemolition for Launch Pad & Spaceport Rehabilitation

A flame trench, launch mount, or pad deck coming back damaged isn’t just a concrete problem — it’s a schedule problem. Every launch hits that concrete with heat, acoustic energy, and thermal shock most infrastructure never sees, and the higher the launch cadence, the faster that damage adds up. Whatever rehabilitation plan gets built has to hold up against the next launch window, not just look finished.

ATI has provided concrete cutting, concrete removal, and HydroDemolition at leading aerospace and space launch facilities across the U.S.

Why Mechanical Demolition Works Against You Here

Jackhammers and other impact-based methods remove concrete by force, and that force doesn’t stop at the removal boundary. Vibration propagates into the surrounding structure and rebar, creating microcracking in material you meant to keep — which means a repair that can trigger its own follow-up problem down the line. On infrastructure with a launch window ahead of it, there’s no time to discover that mid-project.

What Robotic HydroDemolition Delivers

Computer-guided, high-pressure robotic HydroDemolition removes concrete hydraulically instead of by impact:

• Selective removal to exact depth — only the deteriorated or heat-damaged concrete comes out
• No vibration, no microcracking — surrounding structure and rebar stay intact
• A superior bonding surface — exceeds mechanical scarification standards, so the repair holds
• Remote, standoff-controlled equipment — work continues in confined or restricted-access zones without added personnel risk
• Dust and effluent captured at the source — compliance handled as part of the process, not a separate scramble

A Plan Built to Hit the Schedule

1. Scope with precision. The removal plan is built around exact depths, exact boundaries, and your timeline, led by estimators and project managers who plan heavy civil scopes for a living.
2. Execute with equipment that works the first time. Factory-trained robotic operators and a process planned to avoid mid-job surprises.
3. Hand back a substrate ready for repair, on schedule. Removal that sets up the next phase of work instead of adding to it.

What Sets Us Apart

• We own the world’s best and most advanced pumps and HydroDemolition equipment — the fleet that leads a job is ours, not a rental fleet
• Aggregate Technologies is a certified trainer on our own equipment — a distinction very few companies in this industry hold
• Experience across aerospace, Department of War (DOD), and DOE-regulated environments — sectors most contractors never touch, let alone all three
• Project managers and estimators who plan and price heavy civil and industrial scopes for a living
• A crew that works the job as hard as the deadline demands, in regulated, high-consequence environments where the cost of a mistake is high
• A safety record that backs it all up — see our safety rating

Aggregate Technologies provides computer-guided robotic HydroDemolition, selective concrete demolition, and on-site water treatment for infrastructure rehabilitation nationwide, including launch, aerospace, federal, and nuclear-regulated environments.
