Case Study

Project Sypnosis

Wind Turbine Regional NSW

Details

Client : Divalls Earthmoving

Location : Southern Tablelands NSW

Plant & Equipment: Robotic Aqua Cutter,
Hammelman 500 HP Pump.

Overview

The project blueprint called for hydro demolition to tackle defective concrete from a wind turbine base in regional NSW. The power combo of robotics and hand lancing was the chosen strategy to reach the desired cut depth of 900mm. This technique not only ensures precise concrete demolition and removal but also safeguards the structural integrity of the necessary reinforced steel. The end game? A successful concrete reinstallation and restored structural capacity.

Challenges

  • Regional- remote location

  • Access to potable water

  • Sensitive environmental impacts

  • Protection of the pad bolts and reobar

  • Repurposing of water

OBJECTIVES

Drive Innovation – Combine robotic and hand lancing through cutting of outer face of pad with robot towards the inner section and then extend the robot beam towards the centre.

Improve Operational Efficiency – Streamline and automate processes to reduce costs and enhance productivity.

CONCLUSION

The integration of hand lancing and robotic hydro demolition by a single, cross-trained crew showcases operational efficiency and innovation.

This case study illustrates the effectiveness of transforming creative ideas into successful outcomes for the client and emphasizes the importance of a partnership committed to fostering growth and excellence.
