Hydraulic breaker powers through power station.
A new Rammer 5011 hydraulic hammer is spearheading the demolition of the Kingsnorth Power Station in the south of England.
Mounted on a Komatsu PC490LC hydraulic excavator, the 4,750 kg hammer is responsible for breaking out the heavily-reinforced concrete plinths that supported the power station’s massive boilers.
The work is being carried out by world-renowned power station demolition specialist, Brown and Mason.
