Underwater demolition: safe and efficient with the SAES underwater kit for hydraulic breakers
22 septemberDemolishing structures underwater requires more than just power. While visibility and control are already crucial above water, additional challenges arise below the surface. Standard hydraulic breakers are not designed for these conditions: water affects seals and internal components, which can lead to costly repairs or even complete failure. The SAES underwater kit provides the solution: safe, efficient, and reliable underwater demolition.
Challenge: limited visibility underwater
Visibility plays a major role in demolition work with an excavator. Thanks to cameras on the dipper arm, operators above water maintain a clear overview. Underwater, however, this becomes more difficult: rising air bubbles obstruct visibility, forcing the operator to work partly ‘blind.’ In such situations, reliable equipment is essential.
Solution: extra protection through overpressure
Hydraulic attachments, such as Epiroc breakers, are sensitive to water ingress. The SAES underwater kit creates constant overpressure inside the breaker, preventing water from penetrating. This avoids severe damage and extends the machine’s service life.
Maximum productivity, even underwater
Despite the complexity of underwater work, the SAES underwater kit makes it possible to work safely, efficiently, and with maximum productivity. This ensures reliable demolition even in the most challenging conditions.
