What happens here

Begin by carefully removing concrete slabs that are adjacent to existing structures, such as a retaining wall. Use a Compact Track Loader, specifically an ASV RT-75 Posi-Track, equipped with a Hydraulic Grapple (such as a CMP Hydra Bucket), to grasp and pry away sections of concrete. The operator must be extremely precise to avoid damaging the retaining wall, especially if rebar connects the concrete slab to the wall. The goal is to break the concrete free from any interconnected rebar and lift the pieces without impacting the adjacent wall.

Goal: Remove concrete slabs without damaging the adjacent retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Slabs N/A — The material being demolished and removed

  • Retaining Wall N/A — An existing structure that needs to be protected from damage
