Looking for a safe, accurate and environmentally responsible solution for concrete removal or structural surface preparation?
At JCE Renewable Services, we provide specialist hydrodemolition and refractory removal services across a range of industrial and energy sector environments. Using ultra-high-pressure water jetting technology, our experienced operatives can remove damaged concrete and refractory materials with exceptional precision while minimising disruption to surrounding structures.
Hydrodemolition is a non-percussive concrete removal method that uses high-pressure water jets to selectively remove deteriorated concrete without causing damage to sound material or embedded reinforcement. Unlike traditional mechanical breaking methods, hydrodemolition is vibration-free, dust-reducing, and helps maintain the structural integrity of the remaining surface. This makes it an ideal solution for repair, refurbishment, and structural preparation projects where precision is critical.
With more than 40 years of industry experience and access to advanced hydrodemolition equipment, we deliver efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to complex industrial environments.
We also specialise in refractory removal for high-temperature industrial systems including biomass power stations, energy-from-waste facilities, refineries, furnaces, boilers, and chemical processing plants. Removing worn or failed refractory linings safely and efficiently is essential for ongoing plant maintenance, operational performance and shutdown works.
Our refractory removal process combines remotely operated robotic systems with bespoke high-pressure water jetting equipment capable of operating at pressures up to 40,000 PSI. This enables us to remove damaged refractory material accurately while protecting surrounding assets and preserving serviceable linings wherever possible.
By using hydrodemolition and water jetting techniques, we can significantly reduce airborne dust, vibration, waste generation, and manual handling risks compared with traditional demolition methods – helping to create safer, cleaner, and more environmentally conscious work sites.
