TEXAS MEDICAL CENTER ELECTRIC HAMMERING AND CUTTING When a hospital in the Texas Medical Center needed to redesign the area for their linear accelerator, and it's existing steel base frame that was encased in 12" thick concrete, they turned to ATI for a solution.
The only access was a 3' x 7' doorway, hand-held jackhammers can be inefficient and unsafe, and the team couldn't operate any equipment that gave off fumes.
The solution from ATI was our electric saw and electric Brokk robotic hammer, which removed the concrete and base frame in a safe manner. The team completed the job so quickly that the client was surprised they had already come and gone!

PILE CUTTING - CORE DRILLING - WALL SAWING - ROBOTIC BREAKING: PORT LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA The Berth 2 and 3 improvement projects at the Port of Lake Charles (the busiest LNG export terminal in the world) ran into issues when the new piles met refusal and would not go any deeper. Continually hammering a pile to the correct depth compromises the integrity of the concrete, so they must be cut down to size.
One new issue from the cut piles was the connection holes set when the piles were cast were now gone. ATI’s Core Drilling expertise was used to re-core the cut piles so they could accept their uplift connectors.
Brokk robotic hammers and horizontal wall saws were also used to remove some of the existing structure.

Asking ChatGPT about Hydrodemolition...
Q: How is Hydrodemolition like sliced bread?
A: Hydrodemolition and sliced bread may not seem like they have much in common, but there is one key similarity: they both revolutionized their respective fields.
Sliced bread was invented in 1928 by Otto Frederick Rohwedder, and it quickly became popular because it was convenient and saved time. Before sliced bread, people had to slice their own bread, which was time-consuming and sometimes resulted in uneven slices. Sliced bread made it easier for people to prepare sandwiches and toast, and it soon became a staple in households around the world.
Hydrodemolition, on the other hand, was first used in the 1970s as a way to remove damaged or deteriorated concrete from bridges and other structures. Before hydrodemolition, the most common method for removing concrete was to use jackhammers, which were slow and labor-intensive. Hydrodemolition uses high-pressure water jets to remove concrete quickly and efficiently, and it has become the preferred method for concrete removal in many applications.
So, while hydrodemolition and sliced bread may seem like an odd pairing, they both represent innovations that made life easier and more efficient for people in their respective fields..
