BROKK MACHINE
The primary composition of our services include the
power and design of a specialized BROKK®
machine, in the skilled hands of an experienced Empire operator. The
BROKK, manufactured by Holmhed Systems AB of Sweden, can accomplish
precision demolition with high levels of production efficiency, while
at the same time limiting worker exposure to the project area. Some
of the most important features of this equipment are:
It
is remote control, and can be operated from outside the immediate
demolition area in another room, or from as far away as 400 feet;
thereby providing safety for the operator and other people in the
general area.
It's small enough to pass through regular size doors and work in
confined spaces.
A wide array of attachments can be used, including a hammer, LaBounty
shear, grapple, 1/4 yard digging bucket, hydraulic drill, and
concrete crusher. Pumps and large hydraulic systems of the equipment
deliver a lot more impact than comparable hammers mounted on excavators.

Some examples of successful projects that have been
accomplished by experienced operators using the BROKK precision
equipment include:
-
Demolition of 7,000 psi concrete in the bench walls of a highway
tunnel, as part of a $15.5 million rehabilitation project.
-
Confined space use to strip the lining of kilns, to dismantle the
interior of a hot furnace in a utility company, and break-up the
inside of a nuclear test reactor.
-
Demolition of the inside of bank vaults, reinforced concrete walls,
and suspended floor slabs where precision control is required so that
the entire building is not damaged.
-
Dismantlement of a building canopy, without danger of the overhead
structure collapsing on the machine operator.
-
Selective
renovation projects for schoo ls,
hotels, and office buildings. |
