Compelling reasons to choose hydraulic pile breaking over conventional methods

摘要

Various factors should be taken into account when undertaking concrete pile breaking operations, in no particular order, three major points to consider are: Cost; Health and Safety; and Time. As with most construction projects, cost and time are inextricably linked as one will have a significant bearing on the other. Traditional pile breaking methods using heavy excavator hammers or hand held pneumatic breakers make the process labour intensive, running up many hours of demanding work. The uncontrolled and erratic nature of traditional cropping methods also carries a risk of causing concrete spalling and irreparable damage to rebars.
