BETONAMIT® – The Alternative to the Jackhammer
Remove concrete without noise, dust or vibration
Whether renovating old buildings, carefully dismantling heritage-protected objects or demolishing in residential areas: A jackhammer is extremely loud, causes strong vibrations and poses a risk to surrounding structures. BETONAMIT® is the modern solution for removing concrete, screed or natural stone quietly, without vibration and without explosives – safe and easy to use.
BETONAMIT® generates no noise, no dust clouds and requires no permits. The product is simply mixed with water and poured into previously drilled holes. Shortly afterwards, the material expands powerfully – and the concrete cracks in a controlled manner. Ideal for private users, tradespeople and professionals looking for a quiet, safe and efficient demolition method.
