Brokk demolition to clear sites for housing development

Tracy
December 12, 2020

We are hearing in the media more and more about the housing crisis and the shortage of homes across the UK. Brokk demolition is a fast and efficient way of clearing structures previously used for industrial, farm use or as office buildings to make way for housing development. With pressure to build new homes quickly and efficiently, the Brokk demolition technique helps to meet deadlines and achieve objectives in the preparation of sites for development. These machines remove unwanted structures cleanly with the minimum amount of disruption.

Brokk demolition gives increased safety to operators

In an era where health and safety is a high priority for all construction and demolition sites, Brokk demolition rates at the top. With remote operation, these machines are operated at a safe distance away from the demolition area. The robotic equipment can be controlled very closely and accurately. The remote operation also means there is no risk to the operator of so called ‘White Finger’ or hand-arm vibration problems, previously associated with such work in confined areas. By using Brokk demolition it means that the exact area for demolition can be targeted leaving other nearby structures in tact if required. This is particularly relevant where existing structures are being converted from one use to another, such as offices into apartments for housing.

Brokk demolition machines are so small – how much power can they have?

It is true, the Brokk demolition machines are surprisingly small, but don’t be deceived by their size. They are very strong and have the power to demolish rapidly without disruption. The size of these units also provides a number of other benefits:

The units can easily be transported between sites on a standard trailer
Brokk demolition machines are agile and can be easily manoeuvred in confined spaces
The agility and size of our Brokk demolition machines means they can work in lift shafts or even climb stairs
