Abstract:
While it might seem that hydrodemolition is only appropriate for big projects, it can also be an economical choice for compact applications, such as the renovation of a residential garage floor. The floor had heavy damage that required recasting with new concrete. The floor was diamond ground, so the hydrodemolition method was well-suited to create a rough, consistent bonding surface for the new concrete.
