HYDRAULIC BURSTING TECHNOLOGY

Hydraulic bursting utilises 112mm drilled holes and a burster head with three hydraulic pistons, applying pressures of 100–1500 bar to crack concrete silently and dust-free. Ideal for plinths, reinforced beams, mass concrete bases, or rock, this method eliminates noise, vibration, and dust hazards. Combined with diamond drilling, it delivers safe, efficient, and precise concrete removal for sensitive construction environments.

HAND-ARM VIBRATION-FREE SOLUTIONS

At Core Drilling Contractors Ltd, our hydraulic techniques protect workers from Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (H.A.V.S). By avoiding traditional breakers, both bursting and crunching methods drastically reduce exposure to noise, dust, and vibrations. Precision-controlled operations ensure concrete removal is safe, effective, and compliant with health and safety regulations, making them perfect for projects requiring minimal disruption and maximum protection for both operators and surrounding areas. 

HYDRAULIC CRUNCHING METHODS

Hydraulic crunching efficiently reduces concrete to rubble using handheld tools or remote-controlled machines. Powered by 3-phase electricity, this process eliminates fumes from diesel equipment. Suitable for floor slabs, walls, and beams, the hand cruncher operated by two personnel provides fast, effective results with zero disturbance. Remote-controlled machines allow operators to work safely from a distance. Contact us today to discuss your hydraulic services and get reliable, professional support.
