Video of the demolition of the 'Banenbrug' in Wijnegem by Hens NV (www.hensnv.be). The total weight of the bridge is 2500 ton. Hens is working from pontoons with 4 demolition excavators and with special supports under the bridge. What the demolition makes very complete is the design of the bridge over the Albertkanaal. It is a prestressed concrete bridge in form of a banana.
Both Caterpillar demolition excavators are modified by Pladdet (www.pladdet.nl) The Cat 352F has a Pladdet extension for giving more working reach and height. The Cat 349E demolition excavator has a special Pladdet Straight Boom. The Cat 349E is working with NPK S-36XCR concrete shear and 352F with NPK SV-380R concrete (www.npke.eu) Both NPK demolition shears and also other NPK crushers are supplied by NPK dealer DemTech B.V.
