Getting Into A Tight Spot

Remote Controlled Robot Helps Bronte Construction Tackle A Fragile Challenge.

When Bronte Construction Was Bidding The Pelee Point Boardwalk Restoration Project, They Knew They Were Signing Themselves Up For A Challenge. Tasked With Repairing A Decade Old Boardwalk In The Provincial Park’s Wetlands, Bronte’s Obstacle Was To Figure Out A Way To Deliver The Necessary Torque Required To Drive Piles From A Structure Not Strong Enough To Support The Weight Of The Machines That Could Ordinarily Deliver It.

“We put our heads together to come up with a creative solution”, said Mike Kelly Bronte’s Deep Foundation Superintendent

Bronte, in the end, teamed up with Creighton Rock Drill in Mississauga to see if they could both come up with a better solution. Collectively, they decided to deploy the Husqvarna DXR 140 remote-controlled demolition robot.  Not only are these highly precise, maneuverable and stable machines able to work in the tightest and most dangerous job situations, but they’re also capable of delivering tremendous power at a fraction of the weight.

Bronte was able to operate and maneuver the machine directly from the boardwalk! it also had no difficulty driving the piles into the wetlands. It became clear to both Bronte and Creighton Rock that the possibilities of the DXR could only be limited by the imaginations of those using it.

“It was the perfect tool for the job. It’ll be really exciting to see what we’ll be able to do with it next” said Mike Kelly.

Putting The C20 To The Test

McFadyen’s Stone Quarry, Located In Huntsville, Ontario, Is Renowned For The Exquisite Granite It Produces For The Homes And Cottages Of Southern Ontario.

Every year, McFadyen’s hand splits thousands of tons of heavy granite from only the highest quality slabs pulled from their quarry. However, by utilizing conventional demolition methods to generate the external force necessary to remove these heavy slabs, some times they can be made unusable by internal fracturing.

Introducing the C20 Rock Splitter. The C20 is German manufacturer Darda’s latest addition to its hydraulic rock and concrete splitter lineup that offers another exciting solution to rock breaking. The C20 provides users a safer, quieter, more precise, and in some cases even a quicker alternative to more traditional forms of rock breaking including chemical and explosive demolition.

Controlled splitting is useful in industries that include mining, quarrying, tunneling, construction and demolition. The C20 is advantageous over its counterparts due to its superior control, durability, safety and in the long run economics. Generating 1800 tons of actual splitting force, the C20 thrives against even the hardest of rocks. With no downed units in North America to date, the C20 is a proven tool that can always be counted on.

To put the C20 to the test, Creighton Rock Drill (CRD) was joined by Darda’s New Jersey base dealer of rock splitting equipment, for demonstrations at some of Ontario’s best quarries including McFadyen’s.

Here, the C20 did not fail to impress. The McFadyen team was surprised by the C20’s quick setup, ease of operation, and ability to split their hard granite in under 20 seconds. With experience and mastering of the rock splitting process, it was clear the C20 had the potential to compete with the speed of traditional demolition.

Most of all, McFadyen’s site foreman Steve Thompson could see that:

“… The C20 Produced A Better Quality Slab Than Dynamite Due To The Reduced Internal Fracturing Caused By Shockwaves.”
