Services
Concrete Cutting
Penhall Company provides precision concrete cutting for industrial and infrastructure projects using diamond blades and advanced equipment. Our flat, wall, and wire sawing techniques accommodate depths up to 33 inches while preserving structural integrity. Services include slab sawing, trenching, and remote-controlled operations for hazardous environments.
GPR Scanning
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning detects subsurface hazards like rebar, voids, and utilities before cutting or coring. This non-destructive method ensures safety and prevents costly errors, supporting projects in nuclear plants, highways, and commercial buildings with real-time data.
Demolition Services
We specialize in selective and full-scale demolition for buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities. Our methods minimize vibration and collateral damage, utilizing hydraulic equipment and hydrodemolition. Projects emphasize recycling 90% of debris and adhering to strict safety protocols for occupied or sensitive sites.
Hydrodemolition
High-pressure water jets remove concrete layers without damaging embedded rebar or surrounding structures. This eco-friendly method achieves 25x faster results than jackhammers, ideal for bridges, runways, and nuclear facilities requiring precise, microfracture-free removal.
Structural Repair
Our team restores structural integrity using epoxy injections, composite systems, and protective coatings. Services include pile jacketing, crack repair, and retrofitting for bridges and industrial facilities, ensuring long-term durability and compliance with ACI standards.

Questions
What concrete cutting depths can you achieve?
Our flat saws cut up to 33 inches deep in concrete, while wire sawing handles unlimited depths for large-scale projects.
How does GPR scanning benefit my project?
GPR detects hidden utilities and voids non-invasively, preventing costly damage and ensuring safety before cutting or coring operations begin.
Do you handle emergency demolition projects?
Yes, we provide rapid response for urgent demolition needs with pre-planned safety protocols and nationwide resource availability.
Can you perform concrete repairs on bridges?
We offer structural retrofitting, epoxy crack repair, and FRP systems to restore bridge integrity while minimizing traffic disruptions.
Is hydrodemolition safer than traditional methods?
Hydrodemolition reduces vibration and microfractures by 90%, preserving structural integrity compared to jackhammering or breaking techniques.
