Breaking and Hauling
Concrete has been a primary construction material for all types of projects now for centuries. These projects can include residential, or commercial projects. Sometimes, older concrete structures are no longer needed or wanted and must be demolished. Sometimes these older concrete structures are no longer safe and can’t be used and sometimes they’re no longer wanted for other aesthetic reasons. While some demolition projects call for the demolition of the concrete, other projects call for demolition as well as the breaking and removal of the demolished concrete. Although this may seem like a simple task, concrete breaking and removal actually requires tons of planning and careful, precise execution. If plans aren’t created and followed, concrete breaking and removal can become dangerous or lead to serious complications. Concrete demolition, breaking, and removal should always be done by a trained professional.

Concrete and reinforced concrete are made to last and will generally stand up to decades of wear and tear by weather and daily use. However, concrete isn’t invincible, and some concrete roads and structures can and will develop problems that will require repairs. Sometimes these repairs are small, but other times concrete roads or structures may require large scale repairs.
Some common concrete repair issues include:
- Superficial cracks that can inhibit safe pedestrian and vehicle use
- Deep cracks that jeopardize the structural integrity of the road
- Frost heaving or road buckling
Other reasons that concrete structures or roads may need to be modified or repaired is to keep up with changing safety codes and standards or if the use of the structure is changing.
Concrete demolition can solve all of the aforementioned problems. However, sometimes it can take more time, effort, and planning to demolish, break up, and remove concrete than it takes to put it in place initially. Even very small demolition projects can pose serious risks and hazards, so any demolition project, no matter how small, should only be left to trained professionals. Trained professionals have all the proper equipment needed for the job and are highly trained in looking out for potential risks and hazards that can pop up as the job is being completed.
There are several ways to demolish concrete, and different jobs will call for different methods. Small jobs may simply require handheld tools like picks, robotic hammers, sledgehammers, or jackhammers. Larger jobs may call for larger equipment like skid steers, backhoes or excavators. Other types of equipment used to demolish concrete include flat saws, wall saws, and core drilling procedures.
Once concrete has been demolished, it has to go somewhere. This is where the breaking and removal procedures comes in. The concrete breaking process involves reducing large pieces of concrete to smaller pieces so that they can be more easily hauled away and disposed of. After the concrete is broken up into smaller pieces, they must be hauled away. Although this may seem easy, hauling away heavy pieces of concrete can pose serious safety risks and should be left to the trained professionals. Concrete breaking and removal can be done using many different types of equipment including backhoes, skid steers, front end loaders, excavators, and dump trucks.
