Stripping out walls and floors of buildings, whether apartment or office blocks or industrial premises, usually involves the use of one or more Brokk demolition machines equipped with hydraulic breakers. They produce an exceptional punching force for their size. Brokk 180 has a breakout force equivalent to a conventional 5 tonne excavator!
There is nothing like a Brokk machine when it comes to confined space and selective demolition. It enters and works in the tightest environments. The precise control enables demolition of only the sections that need to be removed, while leaving the remaining sections unscathed. Electric operation also makes it easy to use indoors.
Retaining old facades while renovating the inside of buildings is also commonly done. Selective demolition is then a necessity, i.e. you must choose what to remove and demolish only that.
A faster and quieter method is to demolish the concrete with a concrete crusher. Adjoining work can often continue uninterrupted and demolition can even take place at night.
Brokk also facilitates recycling of the material resulting from the demolition, which must be disassembled into its component parts and sorted.
Brokk is also employed for chiselling up channels in floors to allow the replacement of drains, removing tiles and clinker, completely or partially demolishing walls and pillars, cutting down pipes, demolishing chimney stacks from top to bottom, etc. There is a Brokk model for all jobs.
From a work environment point of view, Brokk is excellent; no exhaust fumes, no vibration injuries, good operator visibility, insignificant risk of injury from falling objects. This is why Brokk has become a household word in the construction industry.
