D20 Rockwheel in Gaildorf, Baden-Württemberg

The Project

The removal of a foundation in the densely populated residential area of Gaildorf, Baden-Württemberg. The old foundation of a garden wall had to be demolished due to renovation.

Overview

Quickly and efficiently the Rockwheel D15 attached to a 16t Hidromek excavator removed the foundation from the front garden without disturbing the neighbours. Demolition drums with a helically shaped web cut through the reinforcement with ease.

To further reduce impact to the residents and local environment the use of five nozzles sprayed a fine water mist towards the drum, preventing any dust from spreading.

What worked Well

Quite and Low vibration – perfect in built up areas

Maximum performance – Efficient at cutting  through concrete including reinforcement

Cost Effective – Excavated pebble size  material  used  for backfilling

Dust suppression – Use of Water sprays to prevent dust in the atmosphere.
