Controlled Demolition

Concrete Crushing

Providing a free or open edge is available, the jaws of the crusher are installed over over the concrete to be removed. When the power unit is operated, the jaws come together and the concrete is crushed. This process is repeated until the whole area is removed. Any reinforcing is then cut away using an angle grinder or cutters.

• Small resulting rubble
• No vibration
• Almost no noise
• No water

• Only suitable up to approx. 350mm

Bursting

This method is achieved first by drilling a series of holes in either a straight line or a diamond configuration to assist the breakup of the concrete.

Once the holes have been completed the burster head is inserted into the holes. Pressure is applied from the hydraulic power pack via the hoses and the burster creates cracks in the concrete. Providing the burster is positioned correctly, the cracks will run from hole to hole and as the process is repeated the whole area will break up ready for removal.
