Hydroblasting Precision Rebates into a Factory Floor

This project required the accurate cutting and chasing in of 2500 metre long by 100mm wide x 50mm deep Rebates into an existing Factory Floor.

Diamond Floor Sawing and Hydrodemolition in harmony.

Gnat was called in after a previous contractor unsuccessfully attempted to tackle the problem using Percussive Breakers, resulting in broken, uneven edges unfit for purpose. Gnat's solution utilised a combination of Floor Sawing and Hydrodemolition techniques.

Two parallel cuts were made in the concrete floor, 100mm wide and 50mm deep — This gave a clean working edge for the subsequent rebating/chasing out. A calibrated hydro demolition head was mounted on one of our Aquajet Robots to chase out the redundant concrete accurately — and quickly.
