Direct Inject has retrofitted a BROKK 200 robotic carrier with an ultra high-pressure water jetting lance, enabling precise concrete hydro-demolition and controlled rock excavation without generating excessive vibration or causing structural damage. This innovative setup is ideally suited for environments where traditional methods—such as hydraulic hammers or blasting—are too aggressive, lack precision, or present significant safety and environmental concerns. By automating tasks typically performed with handheld lances, this system also eliminates sustained reaction forces and operator fatigue, allowing Direct Inject to safely and efficiently complete high-risk works remotely
Carrier Type: Track-mounted, electrically powered
Weight: Approximately 2,100 kg
Reach: Up to 5.2 metres horizontally with standard arm
Articulation: Five points of articulation for enhanced precision and access
Power Supply: 32A / 63A three-phase electric (compatible with most site setups)
Dimensions (L×W×H): Approx. 2.7 m × 0.8 m × 1.3 m, allowing access through standard doorways
The integrated UHP lance delivers water at up to 1,500 bar, with adjustable flow rates between 50 and 100 litres per minute.
The BROKK 200 with UHP lance is ideally suited to high-precision, low-impact demolition and excavation tasks, particularly in challenging environments. Common applications include:
Concrete hydro-demolition in tunnels, shafts, and overhead structures
Re-profiling shotcrete linings and enlarging bored tunnels
Controlled rock cutting and excavation in hard or fractured geology
Urban demolition where vibration, dust, and noise must be minimized
Asset protection work near sensitive structures or utilities
Hazardous or confined space operations, including sewer and underground infrastructure
Choosing the BROKK 200 with UHP lance brings a combination of safety, precision, and performance to projects where traditional methods fall short:
Minimal Vibration: Reduces the risk of structural damage near sensitive assets
No Dust or Airborne Silica: Improves compliance with health and safety standards
Remote Operation: Enhances worker safety by removing the need for direct manual handling
High Precision: Ideal for detailed excavation, rock shaping, and structural adjustments
Fatigue-Free Operation: Eliminates operator strain from handheld lance use
Environmentally Responsible: Less disruptive and more controlled than mechanical breakers or blasting
This technology is especially suited for tunnelling, controlled rock shaping, and excavation in urban or environmentally sensitive areas, where conventional techniques may be too disruptive, unsafe, or impractical
