Concrete Removal
Project –
Concrete removal on a new build site
Equipment Used –
Streicher CL50 unit
Pipe diameter –
100mm
Our smaller robots are extremely proficient in traversing numerous bends where other equipment may struggle
The Problem
Our client called us urgently requesting attendance to a new build site (student accommodation). The site had experienced mass flooding as a result of concrete obstructing the base of the main SVP. The SVP was situated in the centre of the building and approximately 2 metres deep meaning an excavation would prove extremely costly and disruptive.
The Solution
We attended with our Streicher CL50 unit which is best suited to small diameter pipework. Working from the internal chamber (this was no issue with our portable equipment), we successfully broke up the concrete before this was removed via high-pressure water jetting.
The Outcome
We successfully removed the obstruction on short notice restoring full flow to the site and resolving an ongoing issue. This was also done with minimal disruption to site and no damage to the PVC pipework, which could have potentially occurred with a chain flail unit, etc.
