Darda ROCK SPLITTERS

Application Report - Demolition of heavily reinforced concrete

Demolition of foundations - demolition of pipeline foundations in rough country

The Job:
Demolition of solid concrete foundations of a abandoned pipeline in a remote area in Japan.

The requirements:
Dense, impassable vegetation prohibited the use of excavators and large demolition machines or equipment requiring transporters or generators.

The solution:
Darda rock and concrete splitters, by contrast, were sufficiently compact to enable them to be transported to the site without any problem. The splitting cylinders were powered by a diesel-engine unit, enabling them to be used independently.
The foundations were initially split horizontally, then vertically, producing small easily transportable sections. In a difficult situation like this, the Darda method has proved to be an economical, timesaving option.
