Precision Concrete Scaling in Wet Conditions with a Rockwheel

One of the more challenging excavation site conditions is the removal of concrete in wet conditions.

The presence of water can drastically reduce the efficiency of an excavation operation by severely limiting the capacity of equipment. To finish these projects in a timely manner, the tools used for the job become very important.

The requisite amount of planning and preparation inevitably increases when dealing with wet conditions. In addition to determining what equipment decisions will result in the best work, greater attention to scaling and the slope of grades is needed to ensure that the project will proceed safely at an efficient pace. In situations that call for concrete scaling in wet conditions, a Rockwheel drum cutter is usually the best tool for the job.

Rockwheels are precise and powerful instruments that are specifically designed to improve control in scaling. Whether you are operating in wet or dry concrete, drum cutters will provide you with the ability to handle the excavation efficiently. Our cutter heads limit the impact angle between the cutter bits and the surface to create a smooth wall that leaves the underlying concrete undisturbed. This prevents the development of micro-cracks and ensures the material remains sound.

Depth gauges are also available to assist in the process of measured scaling. Depth gauges can be used to check top plate angles and cutter length which allows you to limit how deep the cutter head can go into the concrete. If you are looking for improved control, using a depth gauge with your ALPINE drum cutter will provide the improvement you’re looking for.

Rockwheel drum cutters are well equipped to limit excavation volume. Whether working in wet or dry conditions, our cutter heads have the ability to improve the efficiency of your project by crushing concrete to a fine enough size that it can be used as fill matter on site. No further crushing is necessary which means costly transportation expenses are eliminated as well as additional costs associated with further crushing.

Using a Rockwheel cutter head will simplify your project by reducing the unnecessary steps that notoriously waste time and expenses. The bottom line results in a more efficient worksite that saves you valuable time and money.

Rockwheels are also viable options for projects that require underwater scaling. This would be valuable at a site that included a dock or marine facility. It is only a simple matter of using one small oil plug swap to make the cutter head water tight and then the cutter head will work with the same functionality it provides in dry applications.

The power and precision afforded by an Rockwheel drum cutter makes it the perfect solution for scaling in wet conditions. These carefully designed cutter heads are the logical choice for sensitive removals that require a certain amount of precision. With the superior control the cutter head provides, limiting excavation excess, and the flexibility to work underwater, RockwheelE cutter heads are the solution for your next concrete project.
