Are you looking to have a concrete surface removed? There are many ways that experts can go about doing it. Here are a few:
Crushing method
This method uses equipment with jaws which are hydraulically powered to crush and take away the concrete. Examples of this equipment would be the boom-mounted mechanical crusher and also the portable mechanical crusher.
Milling method
This method uses abrasion and erosion techniques at first glance from the concrete until the first layer of concrete peels away from the rebar underneath. Rebar is the mesh of steel that supports the concrete and serves as a foundation. Hydromilling (also referred to as hydrodemolition) and rotary-head milling are the two types of this method.

If you are looking to remove a concrete surface, there are different ways to go about doing it.
Cutting method
This process cuts the concrete into full depth perimeter to separate it for removal like a unit. The load carrying capacities from the lifting and transporting equipment used in the process determine the maximum size the system. Because the majority of concrete is taken away as units, the handling of debris is extremely efficient. With no heat, vibration and mud are produced in this process.
This process is categorized into stitch drilling, diamond saws, thermal tools and abrasive water jets.
Blasting method
This process uses gas that quickly expands in a confined space inside a series of boreholes. This method can create controlled fractures that lead to the removal of the concrete. One example of this is explosive blasting, that is able to demolishing mass structures of concrete. The resulting debris is small in size and it is easily handled.
