Hydrodemolition of M50 Bridge Deck

Dublin, Ireland

The Challenge

The client required the removal of 50mm of deteriorated concrete from a bridge deck without damaging the reinforcement or causing vibration damage to the structure. The project had to be completed within a strict 48-hour window to minimize traffic disruption.

Our Solution

Knights Group deployed two Aqua Cutter 710V robots working in tandem. Our team implemented a high-volume water recycling system to manage waste water in an environmentally sensitive area. Work continued 24/7 in shifts.

Key Outcomes

  • Project completed 6 hours ahead of schedule
  • 100% of rebar cleaned and preserved
  • Zero environmental incidents
  • Superior bonding surface achieved for reinstatement
