We offer a Direct, Contract or Sub-Contract Service on all concrete removal and concrete cutting works across the UK
Robotic Concrete Cutting - Removing Concrete From Drains & Sewer Pipes
Datomic is
one of the largest UK solution providers for concrete removal from drains & pipe rehabilitation, with over 40 locations nationwide. We pride ourselves in providing a cost-effective solution for reinforced concrete cutting and removal underground or overground from drains & pipework with the latest technology in robotic cutters, including pneumatic or battery-operated ones, which can be used for cutting through reinforced concrete and stone blockages stuck in drainage, designed to avoid costly groundworks. Using high-pressure water cutting (hydrodemolition) alongside Robojetting (robotic hydrodemolition) allows us to deliver a wide range of reinforced concrete removal techniques for a range of environments.
Removing concrete from drains is a difficult task, as DIY attempts can damage pipes, but for small deposits it may be possible if the concrete is still soft or only partially obstructing the pipe. Success in removing the concrete depends on how long the concrete has been curing and the pipe material but each scenario is different. We would advise our customers or prospective customers to
always
seek professional assistance if you’re unsure about removing concrete from your drains, as improper methods can cause further damage. Ensure the provider you choose has the necessary equipment and expertise for the job; removing concrete and reinforced concrete in drains without this expertise can result in a small job becoming a large task really quickly.
There are a number of recognised methods to remove concrete from drains, including:
• Mechanical milling bit or auger – Often used to break up smaller deposits of hardened concrete in the drain but less effective for large deposits.
• Remote drain cutters – Capable of cutting through concrete drain blockage entering the manhole & travelling down the drain to the obstruction
• Hydro cutting – This process uses a hydro cutting tool, breaking down and removing concrete in drains with low risk of damage to the pipe itself.
• High-pressure water jetting – This method works well if the concrete is not yet fully set in the drain but is less effective if the concrete has already gone off.
Removing Reinforced Concrete & Rebar in Drains / Sewer
We have been involved in concrete removal or controlled destruction of concrete in drains for our customers using technology for removing loose, deteriorated or damaged concrete for over 20 years. One of the key advantages of the Datomic process is that selective removal of concrete within a drain is possible without any damage to steel reinforcements using the latest CCTV-backed technology. A camera inspection is crucial to review the location, size, and severity of the blockage before beginning the removal process. Leaving drains with a clean surface and excellent profile to restore flow and allow for bonding new concrete within pipework if required.
