Abstract:
A remote control demolition robot, Brokk 50, was used on a project that involved demolition and repair of concrete balconies on an 18-story apartment building in Toronto, Canada. The machine was a perfect choice for a mast climbing work platform. Thanks to the robot and 11 workers, the project was completed in just six months. The machine not only provided efficiency and speed but also improved safety of the crew.
