Construction work on existing buildings has a considerable share of the total construction volume of 60 % and continues to gain in importance. Incorrect planning, rescheduling or construction defects also result in a considerable amount of subsequent work in the new building.
The dismantling processes used today are characterized by high emissions (noise, vibration, dust), large amounts of blasting abrasives, slow performance or considerable physical effort. Occurring vibrations damage the building structure to be preserved. Health problems for construction workers and occupational safety issues are a challenge.
The Electric Impulse Technology (EIT) is an alternative to the conventional processes. This enables the material to be demolished almost without emissions.
