Pier hydrodemolition

Skanska AS Norway has used a robotic water cutter from Swedish company Aquajet in renovating structural parts underneath a pier in Oslo harbour; an operation that because of the tidal flow and an inaccessible subsurface working area would have been both difficult and dangerous to undertake by manual means.

This remotely controlled robot was fitted with a disconnectable power control module
