An Indeco IRP 850 pulveriser, mounted first on a Komatsu PC 240 and then on a PC 340, has been working since the beginning of March, demolishing an old industrial building in Putignano, a town in Bari province best-known for its Carnival and for its wedding dresses.
Flinders Street Station is among Australia's and Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks. The terminus was the first city railway station on the continent and is surely the best-known.
Knocking down these two silos was a highly complex operation, both because the very hard building material (high resistance reinforced concrete containing large quantities of steel rods) was so difficult to demolish, and because of the position of the silos.
An Indeco IRP 850 rotating pulverizer, mounted on a CAT 320 was used by the CI.S.E. firm from Altamura near Bari when demolishing an old mill in the nearby centre of Carbonara. CI.S.E specialise in excavations, earth-moving, building works and demolitions.
The MIC (Montaggi Impianti e Costruzioni) company from Cerreto Sannita near the Southern Italian city of Benevento, a specialist firm in the excavations, demolitions and construction fields, was contracted by the national electricity company Enel, to demolish a hydroelectric pipeline at the Colli al Volturno jobsite near Isernia.
The Punta Perotti saga finally came to a close when the third and last building in the complex, “Palazzo Quistelli”, was demolished mechanically. The whole operation, which took place in various phases on different days, involved demolishing the first two blocks in the complex with 5 tons of TNT and 5000 metres of fuse wire, bringing down a total of 163,000 cubic metres of material.
Demolition work on the Tognana factory in Monopoli, close to Bari, began towards the end of January 2007, and is scheduled to finish by June 2007, when the area once occupied by this once great ceramics factory will be landscaped to make way for a brand new shopping centre.
The HP 7000 is an impressive machine. At 4 tons, it is one of the largest hydraulic breakers in the world – and at the same time highly productive and reliable, due to its intelligent hydraulic system. These features have made the HP 7000 the star of any quarry or tunnelling job, where it runs efficiently and steadily for years.
Multiworks, a family-operated contracting company, were in the market to purchase a breaker for their 4 tonne Komatsu excavator to smash out hard concrete footings.
The double-decker Airbus A380 is one of the world's largest passenger aircraft. Due to its introduction, the runways have had to be widened at many airports around the world. One of these is Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, which has already started implementing its five-year expansion plan to upgrade its airstrips and terminals, which has an overall budget of 550 million Australian dollars.
