Many contractors find they can reduce costs, save time and make demolition work
profitable using the hydraulic splitting method. Hydraulic splitting means controlled demolition.
As the direction of breaks can be determined, concrete can be cut in sections as large as your equipment
can handle. Hydraulic splitting eliminates both shocks and vibrations associated with large impact tools.
The stone and concrete splitting cylinder functions according to the proven wedge principle,
whereby a strong force is applied in an extremely constricted space (from within).
Rock and concrete put up considerable resistance to forces applied externally. As a result, conventional
demolition methods such as hydraulic chisels or crushers are unable to demolish these materials with
any worthwhile degree of control or precision.
By comparison, the resistance of stone and concrete to force applied internally is 90% less, with the result
that they disintegrate relatively easily.
