reinforced concrete - removal of
concrete ramp

The Job:
To remove a concrete ramp previously used for
unloading trucks located at an automobile repair
center.

The solution:
The Ramp was 1,5 m high, 6 m long and 1 m
Wide. A single worker drilled holes in the sides
and top of the ramp at intervals of about 1 m,
with a hand-held pneumatic hammer drill. Then
horizontal cracks were produced with a C 9 N
splitting cylinder and portable Elecric power unit
(type EP). The ramp walls were dislodged from
the substrate. They were then split into pieces
vertically by means of the splitting cylinder. An
excavator then piled up and removed the
rubble.
