Hydrodemolition Eases Concrete Deck Breakout

The article describes the approximately $14.3 million (US) restoration of the Moerdijk Bridge near Dordrecht, The Netherlands. Designed by the Dutch Ministry of Transport, the project involved crack repair prior to application of a special thin very high strength concrete overlay wearing course, presumably one of the first major course applications. Article focus is on hydrodemolition of about 1,700 square meters of deck reinforcing and concrete by Doornbos using a Conjet 432 Robot.
