If you've traveled along the I-215 construction project in West Valley City recently, you may have seen UDOT's newest tool in action. It’s called the Hydro Demolition and uses 36,000 PSI of water to cut through 3-4 inches of cement in just seconds.

According to ABC4, the jet stream of water is 24 times more powerful than your home power washer. UDOT operators can monitor the water stream and the depth of each cut with one simple click on the computer.

Besides making the work more efficient, it is also environmentally friendly. The machine recycles the water it uses and also allows workers to reuse the rebar below the surface because it is never actually touched. Besides that, it cuts way down on dust in the air, which is better for air quality.

UDOT believes with the success of the hydro demolition machine, you can expect to see it at construction projects across the state.
