Hydro scabbling/Concrete scarification is a process that uses high-pressure water jets that remove the top layer of concrete or asphalt. 

This provides a superior bonding surface for the application of new concrete, mortars, coatings etc.

This is also known as hydro demolition, hydro blasting, hydro blasting, hydro milling, water blasting, and water jetting.

While there are many techniques available for concrete scabbling like scabble machines, jackhammering, and grinding. 

We find using our high-pressure water jetting is by far the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective service.

USING A CONCRETE SCARIFIER

A variety of interchangeable cutting wheels and drum setups allow scarifiers to perform a broad range of cleaning tasks. Applications include:

• Removing coatings (even heavy floor tile mastics and rubbery elastomeric or epoxy materials)
• Light or heavy milling
• Grooving walkways to make them slip-resistant
• Removing trip hazards in sidewalks
• Levelling misaligned concrete joints and uneven surfaces

Hydro-Scabbling services cause less damage to the concrete structure and can keep the reinforcement steel intact while eliminating harmful Silica dust exposure and reducing the vibrations/reverberations & noise pollution caused by jackhammers. 

Service Benefits

• Scarifying and shaving down the entirety of concrete slabs

• Modifying door thresholds 

• Resurfacing slab floors 
• Preparing slab floors for the installation of a new surface.

Providing a dust-free work environment reducing operatives to silica exposure. 

Unlike pneumatic and air driven tools high-pressure water is vibration-free using no vibration tools provides a HAVS free operation for operatives.

Using non-vibration tools reduces the risk of microfractures to the surrounding sound concrete. 

We have helped industries benefit from concrete hydro-scabbling industrial services from shipyards, manufacturing plants and warehouses to restoring historic buildings or removing unwanted road markings.
