Chemical demolition represents a revolutionary advancement in the demolition industry, and L A Moore Ltd is proud to be a pioneering contractor in the UK offering this innovative approach with AutoStem technology. Unlike traditional demolition methods, chemical demolition utilises AutoStem cartridges to safely dismantle structures without generating harmful shockwaves, making it ideal for use in densely populated urban areas. This method allows for demolition work to be conducted near windows and sensitive structures without the risk of causing damage, as there is no mass explosion or flying debris associated with AutoStem.

One of the key advantages of using chemical demolition is the significant reduction in time required to dismantle walls and foundations. Where conventional methods could take weeks to carve through thick concrete and structural components, AutoStem technology can accomplish this task in mere days. The AutoStem cartridges work by rupturing the concrete, effectively breaking it apart from any reinforcement and creating fissures that facilitate the subsequent use of traditional impact hammers and pulverisers to clear the debris.

Before any chemical demolition work commences, our highly qualified staff conduct a thorough assessment of the site and structure to develop a tailored blasting design. This meticulous process involves drilling a network of holes into the concrete where AutoStem cartridges are inserted. Notably, these cartridges are self-stemming, eliminating the need for additional plugging. After wiring the cartridges together to create a closed circuit, an initiator is connected at a safe distance, allowing for precise detonation when the conditions are optimal.
