Concrete Demolition with the use of the Cardox CO^² System for the Marine Industry

As the only North American agent for Cardox CO^² non-detonating rock and concrete breaking systems, Force Vector Inc. technicians assist with the controlled breaking of reinforced concrete for many different types of infrastructure projects. Our highly trained blasting specialists understand the challenges of separating the tightly adhered concrete from its reinforcing grid, and have the knowledge and skill to apply Cardox CO^² system technology to the demolition process without affecting the surrounding environment.

For this port improvement project, we demolished the 6,000 cubic meters of reinforced concrete that was used to originally construct the pylons and landing. Through expert deployment of this non-detonating blasting technology, we were able to reduce the concrete to a pile of rubble and bent rebar without generating any harmful dust or noxious gasses that would disturb the delicate marine environment. In addition, activity around the jobsite could continue since Cardox CO^² system does not generate any shock, vibration, or excessive noise.

The reliability, efficiency, and reusability of the Cardox CO^² tubes provided the effective alternative to conventional or commercial explosives that would have cause a major disruption to port operations.
