It is important to take the best-known approach during a complex demolition project, especially in situations where the integrity of surrounding structures are at stake.

If you have never heard or used demolition robots before, you might be wondering if concrete robotic demolition is the best approach for you and your project. There are a few key factors which contribute to the growth of robotics in the concrete industry. These factors may be an ideal solution for your clients’ concrete demolition projects.

Worker Safety

One of the top factors in increased robotics popularity is safety. Concrete removal jobs pose a great risk to workers. There are often accumulating fumes, especially in situations where the area to be demolished is in a tightly confined space. The fume buildup creates not only toxic risks for workers, but also the associated risk of explosions. Falling debris, worker fatigue, and heat stress can all be added to the list of worker safety concerns.

Concrete demolition robots are remotely controlled which protects technicians from any toxic fumes, potential explosions, radiation, and other hazards.

Portability and Flexibility

Fortunately, many of today’s concrete demolition robots are extremely portable. They are able to enter and maneuver effectively in even the most restricted spaces. Robots can pivot as needed and apply precisely targeted and sustained high force to concrete, even at angles difficult for human workers to reach. It is often difficult for workers to maneuver with the array of equipment needed in tightly confined spaces. Machines can be adjusted for specific demolition conditions and activities.

Efficiency and Effectiveness

Another factor in the popularity of robotics for concrete demolition is the resulting productivity. Regardless of the size of the demolition site, robots are not affected by site conditions and continue to operate for extended periods of time. This continuous operation greatly reduces the time and cost factors of any demolition project.

When hiring someone to do a job, you want to make sure it is done safely, effectively, and efficiently. This is the reason robotics have become such a popular standard for concrete demolition projects. We have worked hard to build our reputation, and we work just as hard to maintain it. While we primarily service the Chicagoland and Tri-State areas, we are available for nationwide projects depending upon project scope.

The Progressive Office: Why the Open Office Trend is Dying

12 July 2019
Not long ago, cubicles were torn down and private offices were abolished to make way for the open-office concept revival – in hopes that a shared space would inspire incredible collaboration and creativity.However, today, the open office is dying. Researchers have begun pushing back against the concept. This pushback may eventually lead to the demise of the open office, ultimately raising the question: what is the future of the progressive office?
