Concrete Bursting

Concrete bursting is a quiet and efficient method of demolishing large concrete structures. A series of holes are cored in the structure to create points of weakness. Burster heads are placed inside these holes and create large fissures and cracks within the structure. The process is repeated until the concrete is fractured into smaller, more manageable pieces for removal.

In addition, WCC is able to alter and/or demolish granite and large boulders where conventional cutting techniques or explosives cannot be used for safety or noise sensitive reasons.
