Hydrodemolition & Specialty Concrete Services

We started our Hydrodemolition division in 1997 after having a decade of experience in utilizing high-pressure water blasting in many different ways. We found that high-pressure water was an effective tool to remove concrete surfaces without damaging the underlying structure. Through the utilization of the most advanced hydrodemoliton equipment, IVS is able to provide our customers with exceptional quality and on-time performance. IVS Hydro now offers specialty concrete services, including Latex Modified Concrete (LMC). Our mixed-on-site specialty concrete is formulated to the exact specific requirements of your agency.

The Hydrodemolition Process

Utilizing high-pressure water jets, hydrodemolition employs a direct impact approach to eliminate concrete. This technique allows for precise control over energy release, facilitating selective concrete removal. Engineered with precision, our equipment is tailored to achieve specified depths of solid concrete removal, effectively eliminating weakened or unsound concrete. During the process of extracting deteriorated, delaminated, or spalled concrete, the high-pressure water-jet naturally follows the path of least resistance. It encounters higher resistance when interacting with sound concrete and encounters lower resistance when addressing unsound concrete.

Hydrodemolition Is Great For:

  • Bridge Decks
  • Elevated Roadways
  • Marine Piers
  • Vertical Walls & Arches
  • Warehouse Flooring
  • Tunnels
  • Parking Structures

Specialty Concrete

Our Specialty Concrete services seamlessly integrate with our Hydrodemolition service to provide a comprehensive and unparalleled solution. Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) has excellent wear resistance. This advanced thin overlay is tailored for bridge decks and plays a pivotal role in enhancing structural consistency and reducing construction downtime. With its remarkable durability, LMC extends the lifespan of bridge decks by an impressive margin of 25 to 30 years.
