About ADS

History

From humble beginnings to market leader

ADS — Aqua Demolition Services — was founded on a passion for craftsmanship and the drive to achieve what others deem impossible. From its base in Velsen-Noord, the company grew into a specialized contractor in hydrodemolition and high-pressure water technology, operating in the most demanding industrial environments worldwide. Over the years, ADS has built a reputation as the go-to partner for truly complex challenges — supported by SIR-certified professionals and a continuously updated fleet of machinery.

Vision & Approach

Purposeful, Sustainable, Reliable

Working efficiently and under time pressure in difficult conditions, with minimal disruption and manageable risks for people and the environment. This bar is set high, constantly demanding new applications and creative solutions. ADS fully embraces advanced technology and robotics — for better results and for the sustainable employability of the people performing the work. As one of the European market leaders and pioneers, ADS works closely with machine manufacturers and clients to maximize project potential even in the preparatory phase.

A LONG-TERM PARTNER

Many of our clients have been working with us for years. This is not only due to the quality of our work, but also to the way we collaborate. We actively contribute ideas, provide honest advice, and stand by our clients from preparation to completion.

Quality & Certification

We operate according to the highest industry standards.

Sustainable technology, safe for people and the environment

ADS operates in accordance with strict SHEQ standards and is VCA-P certified; safety is paramount at every worksite. For hydrodemolition, operators work remotely with a computer-controlled unit, free from carcinogenic silica dust and with minimal noise pollution. This way, we combine a safe, ergonomically sound workplace with environmentally friendly technology — and we would be happy to discuss in a personal consultation which method best suits your project.
