Project:
Isolation and controlled deconstruction of 2 crane bases and their supporting piles
Location:
Westminster Plaza, Central London
Client:
Gear. GEAR
Requirements:
Controlled deconstruction of 2 concrete crane bases and their
supporting piles.
Bases 2m high and 4m².
Total of 8 supporting columns 9m tall and 1.2m² running 2 floors below ground level.
Bases and piles made from reinforced concrete.
Deconstruction without disruption to adjacent utility pipes and cables.
Restricted access to bases and piles.
Time limit of 10 working days to remove each base and associated supporting piles.
Solutions:
Deployment of 4 electrically powered, remotely operated Brokk
demolition robots equipped with rapid-fire concrete hammers.
Concrete broken out using Brokk robots and residual steel cut free with gas axe.
Use of hydraulically driven wire saw to cut supporting piles into sections and lift from subterranean levels before deconstruction.
Material sorted and removed from work area using skid-steer loader.
Equipment tested and positioned prior to work commencing.
Water-based dust suppression equipment used during deconstruction of structures.
Key Benefits:
Environmental
Use of zero-emission machines to prevent carbon monoxide
contamination of operating area.
Equipment operated remotely negating operative hand and arm vibration issues.
Debris sorted on site and removed to be recycled.
Financial
Operations utilised minimal space allowing development to continue with negligible disruption.
Project completed on budget.
Specialist equipment owned and operated by Castle and Pryor
ensuring fixed costs and qualified, experienced operators.
Time
Rapid-fire hammers faster at breaking concrete sections compared to traditional methods.
Completed within time frame allocated.
