High Reach Demolition Excavator
Methods To Demolish The Building
• Detonation method
• Cut And Take Down Method
• Concrete Recycler.
• Manual Demolition
• With the help of machines
• Wrecking Ball Crane
• High Reach Demolition Excavator
• Concrete Evaporator
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Explosive Demolition
• High Risk Factor
• Time Taken
• Produce Distortion
• Expensive
• Chances of error
• Need of experts
• Error may leads to
• No demolition
• Loss of life's
• Quick Demolition
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Wrecking Ball Crane
• Produce Repeated Vibration
• Less Control On Moving Ball
• More force required
• Can’t be used on Steel
structure
• Waving action of ball leads to
heavy loss
• Ball is heavy so give good
impact but also become
uncontrollable
• Different ball sizes to be used
on different structures
High Reach Demolition Excavator
CUT AND TAKE DOWN METHOD
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Concrete Recycler
• Cut Concrete With the help of water pressure
• Simultaneously it suck the Washed concrete
• It is the most energy Efficient.
• These machines are fully automated.
• It only can be used for Concrete Structure
High Reach Demolition Excavator
High Reach Demolition Excavator
• First used in 1970 in UK
• No distortion to the surroundings
• Less Risk Factor
• Work From the ground
• Different attachments for various works
• Quick and reliable
• Controlled Demolition
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Specifications
57 m
NON
WORKING
ZONE
• Latest excavator can reach upto 57m.
• All demolition equipment's like shear, hammer can be attached
to this
55m
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Methodology Adopted
Side By Side Demolition
• First side of the building is demolished to
make the structure weak.
• Then in the circular pattern it is repeated
and then the middle structure is
demolished.
• Top to bottom and side by side demolition
take place and remains of building is
excavated during the demolition
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Methodology Adopted
Top to Bottom
• This process is used where the structure is
small in width.
• First the top portion is demolished
Completely .
• Then top to bottom method is adopted in
order to complete the demolition of the
building.
• Mainly it is adopted on the structure which
upto 15m in height.
• Widely used to demolish the water tank
and watch towers

Critical Situation
• When Building Height is more than
the max. reached height of Excavator
• Small excavator is installed on the
roof and then building is demolished
by the excavator from top to down.

Hammer
ATTACHMENTS
Grapples
Multiprocessor
Pulverizers
Buckets
Shear
High Reach Demolition Excavator
• Grapples are the ideal material
handling option for Hydraulic
Excavators
• Max. Handling Weight 2614.5 Kg
• Force Produced 2.4 sh.ton
• Hammer Produce a Repeated a Impulse
to break the structure
• Impact energy is 12000ft-lbf
• 275-450 Blows per minutes
Grapple Hammer
High Reach Demolition Excavator
MULTI-PROCESSORS
Secondary pulverizers process already-demolished concrete, separating
out rebar and reducing concrete to small, ready-to-recycle chunks.
Primary Pulverizer jaws demolish and reduce concrete in a single step,
separating rebar from concrete and eliminating the need for secondary
processing before recycling.
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Shear jaws cut and reduce angle iron, channel iron,
beams, pipe, rebar, cable and tires.
Tank Shear jaws make short work of storage tanks and plate steel.
Specially-designed jaws produce straight, smooth cuts on barges, r
ailway cars and grain, water, oil and fuel tanks.
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Universal jaws are ideal for precision demolition, sectioning concrete
and down-sizing concrete for crushers. Cleanly cuts
segments of concrete with rebar cut flush to the concrete.
High Reach Demolition Excavator
PULVERIZERS
Pulverizers for Cat Excavators are highly effective work tools for
processing concrete in a single step.
Closing force tip 187ton
Closing force rebar cutter 387tons
Capacity Concrete thickness 35.4 in
High Reach Demolition Excavator
SHEAR
• Produce tremendous amount of force to cut
the steel as well as concrete structure
• Closing force 850 ton on tip
• Closing force 1058 tons at rebar
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Bucket
• It have a large spread area
• Used to apply force on a large surface
• Also used to grab waste on the site
High Reach Demolition Excavator
Case Study
• Old Myer Building (corner of William and Murray Streets)
Horseshoe Bridge, Perth, Western Australia
• Total of 13 stories Tower
• 120,000-square-foot is the total area.
• CAT 385 CL Ultra High Demolition (UHD) Excavator was used.
• 12 week time taken in full demolition.
