Robotic Demolition

What is Robotic Demolition?

It is a method of controlled demolition using robotic machinery. This allows manually heavy tasks to be completed safely and efficiently without exposing employees to manual handling and HAV risks. Robotic demolition can be used to form openings in concrete or masonry walls or floors. Furthermore, it can also be used to create wall and floor chases, for taking down concrete staircases, lift shafts and pile foundations. In addition, it can be used for removing any large areas of concrete or masonry.

Robotic Machinery

Our robotic demolition machinery is electrically powered which provides fume free operation and allows safe use internally well within a buildings footprint. Moreover, the robots are remote controlled meaning there is no exposure to HAV for the Operator. This also allows the Operator to be removed from any danger zones or environments where the machine may be operating.

Thus, ideal for working in environments where point loadings, noise, access and toxic fumes are an issue. Additionally, the robots are designed to work effectively in confined spaces and can pass through standard doors. Due to their low weight to power ratio, they can be operated in weight-restricted areas and can easily climb staircases to access multiple levels.

They are a compact but powerful machine capable of removing large areas or sections of concrete or masonry safely and effectively. Moreover, they come with a variety of attachments ranging from powerful percussive breakers, hydraulic crushing jaws, excavating buckets, grapples and concrete milling road headers. Therefore, we have a full range of machines so have the resources to meet your specific needs.

Electric Excavation – additional service

Our compact and fully electric excavators compliment our Robotic Demolition services. They are perfect for internal works and restricted conditions, measuring just 0.98m wide and 2.35m high. With a dig and dump reach of 2.8m, combined with advanced battery powered electric motor technology, it delivers exceptional power and performance. Emitting zero emissions and operating without trailing leads, it ensures a safer, cleaner work environment while reducing costs on exhaust extraction equipment necessary for conventional diesel powered equipment. Its quiet operation allows 24/7 use, making it ideal for any internal works and air quality sensitive environments such as tunnels, underground projects, food processing environments and retail units etc.
