Do you need a reliable, efficient, and environmentally sound solution for precision concrete removal or structural preparation?
Hand-lancing hydrodemolition is a non-destructive method that uses ultra high-pressure water jets – delivered manually by skilled operators – to remove deteriorated concrete with pinpoint accuracy. It’s ideal for targeted removal in tight or restricted areas, on irregular surfaces, or in locations where robotic systems can’t access safely or effectively.
Because it uses only water, hand-lancing hydrodemolition eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and avoids microfracturing caused by percussive tools. This not only protects the structural integrity of the remaining concrete but also supports more sustainable and cleaner work sites.
With over 20 years of experience and access to cutting-edge hydrodemolition equipment, our operatives are trained to deliver safe, precise, and cost-effective results – even in the most complex environments.

Hand-lancing hydrodemolition is a flexible, precise method of concrete removal suited to detailed or hard-to-access work. It’s often the preferred solution for smaller-scale tasks, complex geometries, or environments where robotic systems can’t operate effectively. Below are some common applications where hand-lancing delivers reliable results:
Hand-lancing is perfect for small-scale concrete repairs where precision is essential. It allows operators to remove deteriorated or delaminated concrete without disturbing surrounding areas or embedded reinforcement.
When working around expansion joints, kerbs, or edge beams, hand-lancing provides the control needed to remove concrete cleanly and accurately. This minimises the risk of damaging nearby structures and creates a clean interface for reinstatement.
In tight or congested environments such as plant rooms, pump stations, or underdeck soffits, hand-lancing enables effective surface preparation where robotic equipment may be impractical. Operatives can work with greater flexibility around obstacles and confined geometries.
Manual hydrodemolition is ideal for exposing and cleaning rebar during repair works. The high-pressure water removes concrete without harming the steel, ensuring excellent adhesion for new concrete and preventing corrosion.
Hand-lancing is commonly used for vertical faces and overhead applications where robotic access is limited. It gives operators the ability to precisely target removal areas while maintaining control and safety.
Whether on scaffolding, swing stages, or rope access systems, hand-lancing can be used in elevated or awkward locations that demand a more hands-on approach. It’s a flexible method for complex or high-risk environments where standard equipment can’t reach.
