Corrosion Control & Concrete Demolition

Concrete Demolition

In the field of concrete demolition diamond tools we can offer concrete cuts of all kinds. We have slab, wall and wire saws, and core drills of all diameters and depths.

Introduced in 1985 in Panama, the core drill as a tool to remove large masses of concrete during the overhaul works of the the Panama Canal locks. Since then we have participated in many complicated projects like the demolition of concrete to build the access shafts of Panama Canal locks at the center wall (4 in total at the 3 set of locks) to the main culvert. This project consisted in the removal of 9 feet x 5 feet x 60 feet of solid concrete moles to build the access to the main culvert that feeds the water to both chambers of the locks.

Similarly we expand and refurbish several of the crossunder elevators and tunnels at the Panama Canal Locks. Those tunnels go from one side to the other (east to west) under the locks.

With state of the art technology we removed moles of concrete up to 250 tons in the reconstruction of the turntables at the ends of the locks of the canal , drilled countless holes 3 inches to 80 feet deep in the cathodic protection program of the valves in the locks of the canal.

We have also participated in local projects as the drilling of the necessary openings to allow the  driving of the piles in Phase I of the expansion of Tocumen Airport, punching slabs reinforced to 1.50 thick. We completed all these projects ahead of schedule.

We recently had cut reinforced concrete walls 6 of 10 meters x 5 meters x 0.6 meters in 6 pieces each to be removed at a hydroelectric plant on Chiriqui.
