Breaking the bond between the concrete and the steel reinforcement bars is now less noisy and messy

During the past days, a video of a relatively new pile head removal method has gone viral, as it considerably speeds up the hacking process. Contrary to the conventional method of hacking pile heads, this one uses a hydraulic breaker, excavator and air compressor to separate the concrete from the steel reinforcement bars. The concrete is then chopped into small debris for easy removal, while there is also a significant reduction of noise on site.
