Services
Concrete Cutting
Penhall Company's concrete cutting services utilize diamond blade technology for precision cuts up to 33 inches deep. Our flat sawing, wall sawing, and wire sawing capabilities handle projects ranging from control joints to nuclear facility modifications. With wet cutting methods that suppress dust and cool blades, we ensure OSHA compliance while maintaining structural integrity. Our 24/7 emergency response team specializes in urgent repairs for infrastructure and industrial clients.
Hydrodemolition
Our hydrodemolition services use high-pressure water jets to remove concrete while preserving rebar integrity. This method creates optimal bonding surfaces for repairs and reduces microfracturing risks. With robotic systems that match 25 manual workers' output, we achieve 25x faster results than jackhammering. This technique is ideal for bridges, runways, and nuclear facilities where vibration control and precision are critical.
GPR Scanning
Penhall Company's ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning detects embedded hazards before cutting or coring. Our non-destructive testing identifies rebar, conduits, and voids in real-time, preventing costly accidents. Combined with digital X-ray capabilities, this service ensures safety in sensitive environments like hospitals and data centers. Our analysts hold industry certifications for accurate subsurface mapping.
Structural Repair
Our structural repair services include epoxy injection, FRP installation, and protective coatings. Certified applicators perform pile jacketing and composite system installations that meet ACI and ICRI standards. We specialize in restoring load-bearing capacity to aging infrastructure while minimizing downtime. Services include condition assessments and value-engineered rehabilitation plans for bridges and industrial facilities.
Bridge Demolition
Penhall Company handles complete and partial bridge demolition in congested urban areas. Our selective demolition techniques preserve reusable components while ensuring safety. We've completed complex projects like the Acworth Pedestrian Bridge removal, utilizing hand demolition methods for precision. Our team coordinates with transportation authorities to maintain traffic flow during highway and overpass projects.
