Robotic Demolition
Our Brokk and Husqvarna robotic systems enable safe, precise demolition in confined spaces. These machines excel in hazardous environments where traditional methods are impractical. With remote operation capabilities, they enhance worker safety while maintaining productivity across construction, chemical, and nuclear industry projects.
Hydrodemolition
Aquajet systems use high-pressure water jets for accurate concrete removal without structural damage. This method is ideal for bulk reinforced concrete in infrastructure projects. It reduces dust and vibration compared to mechanical alternatives, making it suitable for sensitive environments requiring precision surface preparation.
Diamond Drilling
We provide diamond drilling for creating service openings and sampling reinforced concrete structures. Our equipment achieves clean, accurate holes with minimal vibration. This technique preserves structural integrity while enabling precise penetrations for utilities and construction modifications across commercial and industrial sites.
Cold Cutting
Our abrasive cold cutting technique safely removes steel and concrete in volatile areas. This spark-free method eliminates ignition risks in hazardous environments. It's particularly effective for decommissioning chemical plants and cutting through reinforced structures without heat-affected zones.
Concrete Sawing
We offer wall, floor, and track sawing for accurate concrete modifications. Our equipment handles everything from small openings to large structural alterations. The process creates clean edges with minimal dust, supporting refurbishment projects and new installations in commercial buildings and infrastructure.
