Reinforced Steel Bar Removal
Project Name –
Tram Stop Rebar Removal
Equipment used –
Streicher CL80 unit
Pipe diameter –
225mm
We have invested heavily to ensure all our equipment can be made fully portable for any hard to reach areas.
The Problem
7x sections of 10mm rebar had pierced the underground platform drainage serving both sides of the tram stop. This was preventing both the surveying and cleaning of these lines. Excavating to remove the rebar would have resulted in severe disruption to public travel in the area.
The Solution
We were contacted by our client as they had the required cutting equipment for the works, however, they lacked the mobility that our Streicher CL80 unit has (the closest point of vehicular access was over 100 metres away). Our equipment was deployed safely and with ease causing no disruption to the tram network in the area.
The Outcome
Utilising a range of specialist grinding and milling heads, along with our specialist 225mm cradle, we managed to remove the protruding rebar and allow sufficient cleaning/surveying of the line. Minimal disruption was caused by employing our cutters to provide an effective solution. A lot cheaper than excavating!
