Aquajet’s Aqua Spine uses water pressure to remove concrete in tight spaces

Aquajet’s Aqua Spine

Aquajet Systems has developed the Aqua Spine to bring high-pressure water jets to concrete demolition jobs in tight, small spaces.

“It allows operators to remove concrete in areas that have previously been inaccessible in a safe and efficient manner,” says Roger Simonsson, Aquajet Systems managing director.

The company says the Aqua Spine does not damage rebar or cause microfracturing. It removes deteriorated or damaged concrete and protects the sound concrete, leaving a surface ready to accept new material. It also reduces exposure to silica dust.

The Aqua Spine can be controlled by an Aqua Cutter robot or by a standard Power Control Unit. The system’s length and width can be adjusted by adding or removing spine beam sections, and it works well on road and bridge applications, the company says.

It can be bolted to walls, floors or ceilings. It can also be supported by hydraulic platforms, cranes and scaffolding. With the Circular Power Head, it can work underwater on bridge pillars. Its 360-degree ring can be adjusted to the pillar’s diameter, so it does not have to be moved while operating.

The standard setup, with triple spine rail system in max configuration, allows the Aqua Spine to remove about 194 square feet of concrete before needing to be moved. A smaller dual rail system is better for confined areas and connecting to scaffolding.

The Aqua Spine handles the same pressure and flows as the Aqua Cutter robots, roughly 15,000 to 40,000 pounds per square inch, the company says. It uses ceramic nozzles that last 300 to 350 hours, depending on water quality. The nozzles can be adapted to varying cutting depths quickly with an adjustable oscillation system. Paired with the Aquajet EcoClear Water Treatment System, the pH from the wastewater from the Aqua Spine and its turbidity can be neutralized before being released.

The Aqua Spine works with the following Aquajet equipment: Aqua Cutter 410A and 410V; Aqua Cutter 710H, 710V and 710V XL; and the Power Control Module.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space. Only slightly behind the number of steps my watch logged during the show are the number of images I grabbed with my camera with the goal of giving our readers a feeling of what being at this show is li

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
