What Aggregate Technologies does

Aggregate Technologies, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned specialty concrete demolition contractor founded in April 1997 in Houston, Texas by Ronnie Wills. The company provides ultra-high-pressure water jet hydrodemolition (10,000-40,000 PSI) using robotic systems, proprietary pile cutting via its patented PCM and PCM2 machines (US Patent #8,276,577), and complementary services including wire sawing, core drilling up to six feet in diameter, robotic demolition, wall sawing, ground penetrating radar scanning, and on-site closed-loop water treatment. The technical differentiators versus conventional jackhammer-based demolition are substantial: 25x faster concrete removal, 3x longer-lasting repairs, preservation of rebar, elimination of microfractures, near-zero silica dust, and 10-20dB lower noise. The firm sells exclusively through direct B2B channels (phone, website quote requests, and Lunch & Learn educational presentations earning engineers PDH credits) targeting general contractors, engineering firms, DOT transportation authorities, energy and utility owners, and industrial facility directors. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, with most mobilizations achievable within 24 hours anywhere in the continental US.

The company operates four regional offices (Houston headquarters, Baton Rouge, Orlando, and California) covering the Gulf Coast, Southeast, and Pacific Northwest. Revenue is generated through four primary service streams - hydrodemolition, pile cutting, concrete cutting and demolition, and ground penetrating radar scanning - all classified as project-based professional services. Customer concentration spans transportation infrastructure (TxDOT, Ferrovial, Lake Charles Regional Airport), petrochemical (Motiva, INEOS Nitriles), healthcare (Methodist Hospital), and commercial construction (Vaughn Construction). The business is bootstrapped with no institutional funding, holds STEP Platinum and ABC Top Performers safety recognition, and maintains EMR below 0.85 along with ISNetworld and PICS/Avetta certifications that gate access to industrial and government RFPs.

The firm's growth posture in 2025-2026 has shifted from regional specialty contractor to national operator: the PCM2 product launched in June 2026, a major national infrastructure project was awarded in April 2026, Orlando and California offices opened to extend geographic reach, and the firm earned ABC 2026 National Top Performers recognition. Core moats rest on patented equipment, regulatory safety credentials that exclude unqualified competitors from gated industrial work, and an experienced operator base with over 100 years of combined expertise; however, there is no disclosed AI/ML capability and revenue is not publicly reported.
