与传统的混凝土拆卸方法不同，水利石油效能允许保存钢筋，并可以去除大部分混凝土，同时留下其余的板坯。在欧洲流行，该方法看到最多用于装修工作和基础设施维护。

在2月4日在拉斯维加斯举行的具体贸易展的世界，两家瑞典的水利石油层制造商继续努力提高北美市场的利基具体拆除技术的曲线。

Aquajet brought out its Ergo Climber hydrodemolition robot, which mounts to standard scaffolding pipes. With a 45° adjustable lance angle, the robot can demolish targeted areas of concrete to a uniform depth, even going around and underneath rebar. Unlike Aquajet's larger hydrodemolition machines, the Ergo Climber is designed to be small and light enough for a single worker to carry it through doorways and manholes.

Looking to address water resource issues, Aquajet also had on display its EcoClear filtration system, which treats the wastewater generated by its high-pressure robotic machines onsite for reuse, storage or safe release back into the environment.

Nearby, rival hydrodemolition manufacturer Conjet focused on what may well be the technology’s biggest hurdle: broader awareness in the industry. “We know we have some work to do,” said Robert Kreicberg, recently installed as Conjet CEO following last fall’s purchase by Swedish investment group of a majority stake in the company.

Kreicberg是一个带土磨床/抛光公司HTC的前任主管，即使在有限的市场中，也有竞争的空间。“我们觉得这对我们来说是一个很好的市场，”他说。
