Robotic demolition services
Six things we do, all with remote-controlled demolition robots, all with the operator well clear of the work. Brisbane-based, Queensland-wide, interstate by arrangement.
Concrete demolition
Concrete demolition is most of what we do. Our demolition robots carry hydraulic breakers that out-hit a 5-tonne excavator, concrete crushers for quiet, low-vibration removal, and steel shears for cutting reinforcement and embedded steel. We match the attachment to the concrete strength, the reinforcement and the noise and vibration limits of the site, then get on with it.
- Breaker, crusher and shear attachments
- 20–80 MPa reinforced concrete
- Water-mist dust suppression as standard
Basement & confined-space demolition
Basements, plant rooms, lift pits, stairwells and service shafts have one thing in common: you can’t get an excavator to them. Traditionally that meant a crew on jackhammers for weeks, rotating every half hour to manage vibration exposure, breathing dust in a space with no natural ventilation.
- Lift pits, plant rooms, stairwells, shafts
- Electric — no fumes in enclosed spaces
- Under-slab and sub-floor works
Bridge & civil structure works
Civil structures are unforgiving. A bridge headstock repair needs the deteriorated concrete removed cleanly and the reinforcement left intact for the new pour. A culvert rehabilitation needs the work done inside a space with no room for plant. A possession on a rail bridge gives you a few hours, at night, to get in and out.
- Deck, kerb and parapet removal
- Headstock and pier concrete repairs
- Tunnel, culvert and shaft rehabilitation
Industrial & refractory demolition
Refractory tear-out is the textbook robotic demolition job. The lining is hard, the space is confined, the residual heat is real, and the shutdown program is counting every hour. Manual crews inside a kiln or ladle are limited by heat stress and confined-space rules; a demolition robot isn’t.
- Refractory lining tear-out
- Boiler, silo, hopper and chute demolition
- Cement, steel, alumina, mining and power sectors
Selective & precision demolition
Selective demolition is about restraint. A new stair void through a suspended slab, a lift shaft cut through three floors, an opening in a shear wall for a link bridge: each one is a structural modification where taking out too much, or shaking the structure too hard, is a serious problem.
- Stair, lift and atrium voids
- Structural strengthening and modifications
- Hospitals, data centres, schools, retail
Demolition robot hire (wet hire with operator)
Most demolition contractors and builders don’t need a demolition robot every week. They need one for the basement, the lift pit or the plant room on this job, for a few days, with someone who knows how to drive it. That’s what our wet hire is: a remote-controlled demolition robot with an experienced, ticketed operator, delivered to site and working within your program and your site rules.
- Machine, attachments and operator in one rate
- Day rate or fixed price by the job
- Breaker, crusher, shear, bucket and grapple
