Concrete cancer is a serious structural problem, caused by corrosion inside reinforced concrete elements. The damage can compromise safety and shorten the life of a structure, so the way it is removed matters. Prioritising safety during removal protects the structure, and the people doing the repairs. This article explains why hydro demolition is the safest method for removing concrete cancer, and why it is especially well suited to the demands of Australian infrastructure. U

What is Concrete Cancer? Concrete cancer is the deterioration of concrete due to internal reinforcement corrosion. It is a pervasive issue in the construction industry as it undermines structural integrity, reduces concrete lifespan, and increases maintenance costs for buildings and infrastructure. Fortunately, hydro demolition has emerged as an innovative and effective method for addressing concrete cancer, offering precision, efficiency, and environmental benefits. Understa
