Comprehensive site restoration and debris management to maintain OSHA-compliant work zones
Technical Capabilities & Equipment
Husqvarna DXR 140 Remote-Controlled Demolition Robot
This Bluetooth-enabled, remotely operated robotic demolition unit is engineered for meticulous structural dismantling in constrained environments. With a compact chassis of 31 inches in width, it is optimized for ingress through standard architectural apertures and stairwell navigation. Its 360-degree articulating boom arm provides multidirectional reach for complex demolition sequencing.
Broderson Hydra-Hammers
These heavy-impact hydraulic breakers are designed for large-scale horizontal demolition activities, proficient in fracturing substrates up to 12 inches in depth, such as highway slabs, marine dock decks, and parking surface pavements.
Excavator-Mounted Hydraulic Hoe Rams (500-5000 lb class)
Standard Hydraulic Hoe Ram
A flexible solution for targeted demolition in areas with spatial constraints or for smaller-scale assignments.
Our commitment to technical excellence ensures optimal equipment selection for every concrete demolition scenario, maximizing operational efficiency and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Section 1: Services and Capabilities
What types of materials can you break and remove?
Do you manage large commercial contracts, extensive LNG projects, ports requiring authorized access, as well as smaller residential assignments?
Indeed, our company is fully equipped to undertake projects of any scale and access requirement. Our comprehensive fleet of machinery enables us to efficiently execute major highway construction, commercial site preparation, and smaller-scale local demolition tasks.
Do you also haul away the debris, or just break up the concrete?
We offer full-service concrete removal. We break up the material, load it into our transport vehicles, and recycle it safely and responsibly, leaving your job site clean and clear.
Can you work in tight or confined spaces?
Absolutely. We use specialized, compact equipment like our fully electric, Bluetooth remote-controlled Husqvarna DXR 140 demolition robot, which is only 31 inches wide and designed specifically for limited-access areas, including interiors and high-rises.
What is the maximum thickness of concrete you can break?
We have equipment capable of breaking concrete up to 12 inches thick using our Broderson Hydra-Hammers and unlimited thickness structural elements using our 500-5000lb excavator-mounted hoe rams.
Section 2: Process and Logistics
What is your process for managing job site safety?
- Safety is our top priority. At Holes Companies we hold a Safety-first Culture, which is reflected by numerous Safety awards and recognitions.
- Our crew is highly trained, and we use remote-controlled machinery, when possible, to keep operators clear of immediate hazards. We follow all OSHA guidelines and site-specific safety plans.
Will the demolition process be noisy or dusty?
Demolition is inherently noisy and creates dust. We utilize industry-standard practices, including water suppression systems when appropriate, to minimize dust and adhere to local noise ordinances where possible.
Do you require utility location services before you start work?
Yes. We require all underground utilities to be marked and cleared before we begin any breaking or excavation work to ensure safety and prevent damage. This is a critical step in our process. Holes Companies offer those additional services and can assist you with that need.
Section 3: Pricing and Consultation
How do you price your concrete breaking services?
Pricing is based on several factors, including the square footage/volume of concrete, thickness of the material, accessibility of the site, necessary equipment rental, and disposal fees.
What information do you need from me to provide an accurate quote?
To give the most accurate quote, we need:
- The approximate dimensions (length, width, thickness) of the concrete.
- Photos or videos of the site and material.
- Details on site access (e.g., standard door width, overhead clearance, stairs).
- Your desired timeline for the project.
