CHICK-FIL-A HYDRODEMOLITION When a Chick-fil-A is closed for renovation, mom is not happy. ATI crews and Hydrodemolition helped make mom happy again! This high-pressure water method of removing concrete was perfect for this restaurant renovation which would have taken longer using traditional methods.
One job requirement was preserving post-tension cables - hydrodemolition was a perfect fit for this scenario as the high-pressure water stream safely and efficiently removed the concrete but didn’t damage the main cable. This eliminated the need for destressing or restressing the cables, which can be costly and time-consuming.
Second, it was a safer and more controlled method of concrete removal. Hydrodemolition uses a precise water stream, allowing for targeted removal of specific areas without affecting surrounding structures. Additionally, hydrodemolition does not produce the same level of dust and debris as manual methods.
Hydrodemolition makes repairs last three times longer since it does not damage remaining structure, does not leave micro cracks, leaves a superior bonding surface, and does not damage the reinforcing. Because its remote controlled, it is safer than a worker using a 30-pound jack hammer.
Thanks to the speed and efficiency of Hydrodemolition, this Chick-fil-A renovation was done faster than in the past. What can ATI - and Hydrodemolition - do for you on your next project? Call 281-819-7470
WIRE SAWING MASSIVE ENGINE Recently, Aggregate Technologies completed a demolition and removal project of three huge compressor engines at a carbon plant. The engines surpassed restrictions for DoT permits, and it was not safe to use cutting torches in the removal because of the presence of hydrocarbons. ATI used wire sawing to get the job done.
Wire sawing is a method of cutting through concrete and other materials using a wire that is impregnated with diamond particles. This method is known for its precision and the ability to make clean cuts without causing too much dust or debris.
Once the engines were sawed from the concrete slab they were anchored to, the ATI team sawed them in half so they could be safely lifted onto the flatbed by crane.
Wire sawing is the perfect cutting method in many instances - and we are the experts. Call us today 281-819-7470
