Robotic Equipment Cuts through the Hazards of Nuclear and Industrial Demolition
Demolition in hazardous environments such as nuclear power plants, industrial smokestacks, and chemical accident sites can be both a risky and complicated process. One of the safest methods developed to-date is the use of remote controlled robotic machinery. Robotic controlled demolition equipment allows operators to maintain a safe distance usually within a protected environment while demolishing the hazardous structure. This allows for a surgical demolition and removal of structures without contamination or damage to the surrounding environment.
