Concrete is the most common construction material in the world. However, its removal invites a catalogue of hazards. From noise and vibration exposure to the release of carcinogenic dust particulates, it needs to be conducted with extreme caution. Thankfully, environmentally friendly concrete removal options are available.
Hazard To Workers
Concrete removal presents a number of risks, primarily to the workers involved in the process. From the potential for noise and vibration exposure to the release of carcinogenic dust particulates, the work needs to be conducted with extreme caution. This is because concrete dust is a complex material that contains a wide range of particulates that can have devastating health consequences if inhaled. For workers, this can lead to serious conditions like silicosis or a wide range of cancers.
While environmental pollution is a concern, the immediate and most significant health risks are to the operatives on site. To mitigate these dangers, proper safety measures, such as using dust suppression systems like misting, water, or foam, are critical to control dust and keep employees safe..
Increasing Efficiency and Efficacy
Concrete removal has always been a notoriously messy and labour intensive business. The cleanup operation often takes longer than the process itself, dramatically impacting a project's efficiency and productivity. Dust can also cause damage to critical equipment, causing unplanned downtime and spiralling prices.
Crete-Away+ simplifies this process. It is applied as a rich foam that clings to surfaces, allowing the powerful compounds to penetrate and effortlessly dissolve dried concrete buildup. This makes the removal and cleanup process faster and much easier, reducing project timescales and unnecessary complexities.
