What We Do

Water-based
concrete work.
Both halves.

Two service lines. One method. Same crew. Same standard. We verify the spec — pressure, volume, nozzle, profile — and we sign off only when the client does.

Service 01
Surface Preparation

Traditional
Hydroblasting

HP & UHP Waterjet Cleaning · Coating Removal · Surface Profiling

High-pressure and ultra-high-pressure waterjet cleaning, coating removal, descaling, and surface preparation to ICRI and SSPC specification. The everyday work that protects the rebar, extends the deck, and lets the next coating bond.

UHP water cuts through contamination, corrosion product, and failed coatings without introducing mechanical stress to the substrate. We profile the surface, verify the CSP target with the client on site, and document the result.

Verified at 40,000 PSI beats "high-performance" every time. We cite the standard. ICRI CSP-3, SSPC-SP 13, ACI 364. We name the PSI, the nozzle, the substrate, the profile — not "advanced techniques."

"We hydroblasted 14,200 sq. ft. of bridge deck to CSP-5, verified the profile with the client on site, and were off the bridge eleven days ahead of schedule."

Concrete Removal

Hydro­demolition

UHP Controlled Concrete Removal · Rebar-Safe · Spall Repair · Bridge Deck Rehab

Controlled, selective concrete removal using ultra-high-pressure waterjet equipment. Spall repair, partial-depth and full-depth removal, bridge deck rehabilitation. Precision where brute mechanical demolition would damage the steel or substrate.

UHP water exploits the natural fracture plane between deteriorated and sound material — leaving rebar clean, undamaged, and bonded to the remaining substrate. No micro-cracking. No rebar impact. Verifiable removal depth at every pass.

Mechanical demolition jackhammers introduce micro-cracking into the sound concrete adjacent to the repair zone. Hydrodemolition doesn't. When the engineer needs a clean bond surface and intact rebar, water is the right answer. We have it.

More brain surgeons exist in the U.S. than hydroblasting technicians — and two of the three women certified in this country own CS Hydro Group.

Standards & Specs

We cite
the standard.
Every time.

Every job is verified against published specifications — not close, not approximately. To spec. We name the standard in every proposal, every deliverable, every sign-off.

ICRI CSP

Concrete Surface Profile

Profiles 1–9 for surface preparation and coating adhesion. We hit the target CSP and verify on site.

SSPC-SP 12

Surface Prep by Waterjetting

Cleanliness grades WJ-1 through WJ-4. Jointly maintained with NACE No. 5.

NACE No. 5

Joint Standard with SSPC-SP 12

Waterjet surface preparation standard for industrial coating and corrosion work.

ICRI 310.2

Selecting Concrete Surface Prep

Specifying surface preparation for concrete repair bond — the foundation of every demolition scope.

ACI 364.1R

Repair of Existing Structures

Guide for assessment and repair of existing concrete — our demolition scopes are written to it.

SSPC-SP 13

Surface Preparation of Concrete

For protective coating applications. The standard we reference on every surface prep proposal.

Who We Work With

We speak engineer.
We speak GC.
We speak owner.

Our audience is technical. Engineers read specs for a living. GCs have seen every sales pitch. We lead with outcomes they can verify — PSI, profile, standard, sign-off. Not buzzwords. Not "quality you can trust."

How We Talk About the Work

We Do

  • Name the method: hydroblasting for surface prep, hydrodemolition for concrete removal
  • Cite the standard: ICRI CSP-3, SSPC-SP 13, ACI 364
  • Use trade nouns: pressure, volume, nozzle, dwell, rebar, substrate, profile
  • Show the math — production rate, PSI, GPM, CSP target
  • Say what we won't do, and why — owning a limit builds trust
  • Lead with outcomes the engineer or GC can verify

We Don't

  • Say "quality you can trust" or "your partner in concrete"
  • Use the phrase "turnkey solutions" under any circumstance
  • Hedge: "may," "often," "generally," "we try to"
  • Over-explain the work — the audience is technical
  • Turn the woman-owned story into the only story
  • Use passive voice to soften accountability
