Hydrodemolition

“Hydrodemolition can be used for horizontal, vertical, and overhead concrete removal and surface preparation on reinforced and non-reinforced structures.

It allows the preservation of the reinforcement while the deck concrete can be fully replaced to meet the design intent and avoid the need for potential future repairs under traffic.

This technology has been used on the following types of structures: bridge decks and substructures, parking structures, dams and spillways, water treatment facilities, tunnels and aqueducts, nuclear power plants, piers and docks, stadiums, warehouses, transfer stations, chemical plants, steel mills, and retaining walls.

For robotic hydrodemolition equipment, the operator wears steel-toed boots, eye protection, earmuffs and hard hat.

Hand lance operators wear steel-toed boots, metatarsals, shin guards and sometimes body armor.

An Austrian company has developed the first mobile, container-based wastewater treatment device, which can be operated directly on site.

Commercial and military airfields are required to maintain certain levels of friction on runways to prevent planes from skidding.

Runway design, weather and amount of rubber remaining from tire wear all play a role in the level of friction of a landing strip.
