This week we really used the multi-processor on the concrete retaining walls - this tool is awesome for lack of a better word!
It will go through a 8-16" reinforced concrete wall as fast as it will cycle, which is pretty quick considering the force. The MP has the demo jaws with the rebar cutter.
The walls are all clad with pre-cast panels that are easily removed once the imbed plates at the top of the wall are munched. The taller pre-cast panels required the 330 to hold them in place after the imbeds were cut until the panel was crunched down to a manageable size for the 324E to handle.
Started this section of wall Tuesday of this week. This was 2 days later on Thursday around 1 PM. Once the wall got down below the shelf that held the pre-cast the wall becomes 24" thick which is too much for this processor. We had to use the hammer to pinnacle the top of the footing and then munch down - rinse and repeat.
Our best superintendent, I wouldn't have taken this job without him being on board.
