Robotic Pile Deconstruction with the Brokk 60

Brokk 60 robot pecking concrete from a pile head to expose the rebar inside a foundation pit

TOILET-HUMOUR ASIDE, Gnat UK are experts at dismantling concrete piles.

OUR FOCUS: revealing the rebar underneath to make room for new steel and concrete.

Here, our Hydraulic-Pecker-Packing Brokk 60s were carefully craned into foundation pits, to efficiently remove excess concrete while leaving the rebar intact and ready for the next phase.

NO FUSS, NO FRILLS — the exposed rebar is left, prepped and ready for the infusion of new concrete and steel. It's all about precision and practicality as we transform troublesome piles into solid foundations, ensuring durability and functionality — for whatever comes next.
