Efficient Concrete Removal with BETONAMIT
Cutting Concrete with Expansion Agents
When it comes to breaking concrete - whether indoors or outdoors - BETONAMIT is highly suitable. Unlike conventional methods such as hammer drills with chisels, demolition hammers, pneumatic hammers, concrete saws, or concrete milling machines, we offer a versatile material for concrete demolition.
BETONAMIT is an expansion agent, a non-explosive demolition material that allows for relatively precise demolitions. And it does so without the need for special requirements or equipment. Even reinforced concrete is shattered by BETONAMIT due to its ability to develop a tremendous expansion pressure.
- Precise concrete demolition: BETONAMIT allows for accurate removal.
- Versatile use: BETONAMIT works indoors and outdoors.
- Easy and safe: Even DIY enthusiasts can use it.
Removing Concrete with the Right Tools
Sooner or later, many building components need to be partially removed. This applies to concrete foundations, floating screeds, load-bearing elements such as columns or walls, and spanning elements like prestressed concrete in ceilings, etc. Due to its high compressive strength, concrete is often used as a composite material. Therefore, there is a wide range of demolition tools and machines available for removing concrete components.
Common demolition tools include demolition hammers, pneumatic hammers, rotary hammers with chisels, or concrete milling machines. However, experienced DIY enthusiasts will quickly realize that these tools have limitations. Thick concrete floors, in particular, can only be removed with a significant time investment. Moreover, some of these tools can only be used outdoors, not indoors. If used incorrectly, especially in older buildings, these tools can cause undesirable or even dangerous side effects, such as severe vibrations affecting the structural elements of the building.
Cutting Concrete: Tools and Application
When cutting concrete for removal, a suitable concrete saw is required. A wall cutter is used to create expansion joints or predefined breaking points. It typically provides good results for concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, natural stones, screed, and asphalt.
However, cutting concrete requires a lot of experience. Cutting into fresh concrete too early can cause the joint to fray, while cutting too late can result in cracks. This can be difficult for amateurs to assess. Additionally, operating such concrete saws can be challenging.
These saws are used for wall openings, ceiling openings, or removing balconies. Accurate planning is essential for such demolition work. Safety always comes first, so it is advisable to hire a professional company when cutting concrete with a concrete saw or wall cutter. It is best to leave these tasks to experts who are experienced in handling such equipment.
BETONAMIT is also suitable for DIY enthusiasts as it is safe and easy to use. For overhead work, BETONAMIT SPECIAL is used. With our expansion explosive, precise concrete demolition through largely controllable crack formations is easily achievable. Surrounding objects are not damaged.
Cutting concrete without dust is now finally no longer a problem.
