Aquajet<\/a>, a global leader in Hydrodemolition machine manufacturing, offers a lineup of cutting-edge Hydrodemolition equipment for concrete repair and restoration in hydropower applications. Paired with the highly versatile Aqua Spine<\/a>, Aquajet\u2019s Aqua Cutter 710V<\/a> Hydrodemolition robot increases productivity and safety for challenging concrete removal and surface preparation tasks on spillways, dam faces, intake structures, tunnels, gates, draft tubes, tailraces and locks. Robots<\/a> can also be used for penstock cleaning and coating removal. Additionally, the company\u2019s innovative Ecosilence 3.0<\/a> high-pressure pump and EcoClear<\/a> water treatment system round out the system in a compact footprint that meets environmental regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCountries around the world are looking for safer, more productive solutions to revitalize aging infrastructure,\u201d said Roger Simonsson, Aquajet managing director. \u201cIn addition to roads and bridges, water management systems, such as dams and reservoirs, are in desperate need of repair. Hydrodemolition has proven a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for these challenging applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydrodemolition is an impact-free concrete removal method that eliminates the risk of microfractures. This helps ensure stability of the overall structure \u2014 an important consideration in water management applications \u2014 and provides a sound foundation for concrete repairs. Hydrodemolition offers an automated solution that is faster and reduces labor. It\u2019s up to 25 times faster than jackhammers and other handheld equipment, greatly increasing productivity for large-scale concrete removal projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using high-pressure water jets as powerful as 40,000 psi, the Aqua Cutter 710V Hydrodemolition robot blasts away layers of concrete, cleaning and descaling rebar in the process. The model, one of Aquajet\u2019s largest, offers exceptional horizontal, vertical and overhead reach \u2014 as high as 23 feet (7 meters). Aquajet\u2019s unique cutting head and multi-axis 3D positioning systems allow for efficient removal on even the most challenging areas including corners and spaces that would be difficult to access with hand tools. An optional extension kit<\/a> system further increases versatility and area of operation. The kit extends reach for vertical and side-to-side applications about 5 to 8 feet (1.5 to 2.5 meters), depending on the model, to help operators access hard-to-reach areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, contractors can use an Aqua Spine for concrete removal in areas that are inaccessible to Hydrodemolition robots. This multi-modular system features a single feed beam to ensure adaptability to different applications. It adjusts from 3-19 feet (1-6 meters) and is ideally suited for hard-to-reach corners and curved surfaces where it can replace the use of manual labor. The modular system can be anchored to the concrete surface \u2014 such as floors, walls or ceilings \u2014 and can also be held in position with hydraulic platforms, cranes and scaffolding for increased versatility. Adding or removing spine beam sections results in an infinitely adaptable support system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further improve operating efficiency, contactors can use the 710V and Aqua Spine with the company\u2019s innovative EcoClear water treatment system. The compact, fully automated system treats the Hydrodemolition wastewater on-site and on-demand. It moves as much as 88 gpm, or about 5,283 gallons (20 cubic meters) per hour, through a series of treatment chambers that reduces pH to between 7.5 and 8.5 and suspended solids to between 20 and 40 mg\/l. This allows for safe recycling and reuse during the process as well as safe release into sanitary sewers, storm drains or directly into the environment. The system can be set up in less than 4 hours and requires minimal oversight during operation for optimal crew utilization. It also allows for the reuse of blast water in the high-pressure pump as part of a closed-loop system. In this way, contractors can recycle the water, resulting in significant time and resource savings on remote or environmentally sensitive jobsites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAquajet works closely with our customers to provide innovative solutions to make their jobs safer, faster and more cost effective,\u201d Simonsson said. \u201cIn water management applications, we\u2019ve seen great success using Hydrodemolition to replace handheld equipment. We\u2019ve taken it a step further, as well, with our EcoClear. Now these applications are safer for the environment, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
