Suspended slab removal
Breaking out a suspended slab from above or below, with props and exclusion zones set to the engineer’s sequence.
Slabs, walls, columns, beams, footings
Robotic concrete demolition
Hydraulic breakers, crushers and shears on a remote-controlled carrier that fits through a doorway and hits harder than a 5-tonne excavator — with nobody standing under the concrete.

The right tool for the concrete in front of you
Concrete demolition is most of what we do. Our demolition robots carry hydraulic breakers that out-hit a 5-tonne excavator, concrete crushers for quiet, low-vibration removal, and steel shears for cutting reinforcement and embedded steel. We match the attachment to the concrete strength, the reinforcement and the noise and vibration limits of the site, then get on with it.
Because the operator runs the machine from a handheld remote, the person is never under the slab, beside the wall or in the dust. That changes what’s possible: we can break out a suspended slab from the level above, take a column down in stages, or crush a wall in an occupied building while the office next door keeps working.

Applications
Typical concrete demolition jobs
Every job is different, but these are the ones we’re called in for most.
Wall and column removal
Reinforced walls, blade columns and shear walls removed in controlled lifts, rebar cut and lifted out.
Lift pits and plinths
Machine bases, equipment plinths and lift-pit slabs in plant rooms and basements.
Footings and ground beams
Mass concrete and reinforced footings where an excavator can’t reach or the ground can’t take one.
Concrete repair prep
Removing spalled or contaminated concrete back to sound material ahead of remediation.
Pool, tank and pit removal
Concrete pools, tanks and pits in backyards and plants with restricted access.
How it goes
From drawings to handover
Priced before we mobilise, planned before we break, cleaned up before we leave.
01
Scope & quote
Send drawings or photos. We confirm access, structure, services and the right machine, and give you a price.
02
Plan & SWMS
Site walk, engineering check where needed, SWMS, exclusion zones, dust and noise plan, waste route.
03
Mobilise & break
Robot arrives on a small truck, walks in under its own power, and gets to work with the operator at a safe distance.
04
Clear & hand over
Debris crushed and removed, dust suppressed, area cleaned and handed back on program.
FAQ
Concrete demolition: common questions
How thick can a demolition robot break?
Our machines routinely break reinforced slabs and walls in the 150–600 mm range, and mass concrete beyond that in stages. Concrete strength, reinforcement density and access matter more than thickness alone, so send us the details and we’ll confirm the right machine and attachment.
Is robotic demolition quieter than jackhammers?
A hydraulic breaker is loud whichever machine carries it, but a demolition robot lets us swap to a concrete crusher, which crushes rather than hammers and is dramatically quieter and lower in vibration. On noise-limited sites we plan the job around the crusher where the concrete allows.
How do you control dust?
Water-mist suppression at the tool head is standard, and because nobody is at the work face we can run heavier suppression than a manual crew could tolerate. For occupied buildings we add screening and extraction as required by the site plan.
Do you remove the rubble too?
Yes. The robot crushes and stacks the debris, and we load it into bins or skips for removal. If you prefer to use your own waste contractor that’s fine too.
