The Super Lance 3000 replaces the previous lance and allows contractors to use a single lance for any pressure up to 3,000bar.

Hydrodemolition is being used for repairing airport runways, making the process faster and improving quality. According to Aquajet Systems, its high-pressure water jets can be used for the controlled removal or scarification of concrete, as well as the removal of paint and rubber, leaving a fresh surface. The Aqua Cutter hydrodemolition robots are said to be highly efficient when working on concrete runway surfaces. The operator controls the high-pressured ceramic nozzles from a distance, adjusting the s

Aquajet Systems says that its new Aqua Spine is a modular system that uses high-pressure water jets to remove concrete from surfaces that may be inaccessible for Aqua Cutter robots. The Aqua Spine allows hydrodemolition techniques to be used in areas that would otherwise be difficult to access, providing a safe and efficient technology for users. Hydrodemolition uses high-pressure water jets to precisely remove sound, deteriorated or damaged concrete. The sustainable method leaves rebar undamaged while pro

Brokk is boosting its range of demolition equipment with the purchase of fellow Scandinavian firm Aquajet. Brokk is a leading manufacturer of remote-controlled demolition machines and its recent acquisition of Aquajet Systems will widen its range of products available. Aquajet is a leading manufacturer of hydrodemolition robots.

Aquajet is increasing the capabilities of its range with the new 410V Evolution and 710V Evolution XL machines. Key account manager Patrik Anderson explained, “We have upgraded the front of the 410V so you can do more work, as with the 710V. You can do work now directly on walls. It has a reach of 4m and we use the Aqua Spine solution for the tower.” He continued, “The 710 XL is built with a wider and longer chassis and can take even more reaction force. Due to the bigger chassis you have a lower ground pr

Hydrodemolition specialist Aquajet is offering an improved, low-noise power pack for its equipment. Redesigned to meet tough restrictions on noise emissions for equipment used in urban locations, the power pack is also more economical on fuel, an important point given fast rising fuel costs. The firm's hydrodemolition unit is aimed at concrete scarification and removal, and the noise levels from the new Ecosilence Power Pack are so low that normal conversation can continue alongside as it operates. Accordin

In what it says is a "a world first," Swedish specialist company Aquajet Systems has introduced a new diesel/electric-powered hybrid hydrodemolition robot offering a wide range of new features, including pollution-free operation in enclosed areas in electric-mode.

Aquajet Systems says that its latest hydrodemolition robot offers greater versatility due to its dual-power feature. The machine can be switched easily between diesel and electric drive, with the latter option suiting use in built-up urban areas or enclosed workzones.

Work has started on the long awaited San Jose-Caldera Highway in Costa Rica, following numerous delays and setbacks. The new 77.5km highway will be used daily by more than 81,000 vehicles, reducing the travel time between the Central Valley and the Central Pacific Coast by at least 30 minutes.
