Analysis of methods of disintegration of plain and reinforced concrete in process of reconstruction and re-equipping of hydraulic developments

Conclusions

• 1. The reconstruction and repair of hydraulic developments is connected with the need for demolishing a significant volume of plain and reinforced concrete structures.

• 2. In the Russian and world practice, there is now a wide set of modern methods of demolishing plain and reinforced concrete structures and means of mechanization of heavy manual operations. A substantial number of items of equipment and devices for this work is produced by the Russian industry or can be manufactured on the basis of special orders.

• 3. For the carrying out of this work within short periods with low labor costs using modern techniques and effective equipment, it is necessary to create mobile specialized subdivisions. Such subdivisions could be developed either on the basis of existing organizations, for example the Gidrospetsstroi, the Énergomekhanizatsiya, the Gidromontazh, the Spetsgidroénergomontazh, etc., or on the basis of organizations engaged in operation of hydraulic developments.
