Bored CFA Pile Breaking
 The system replaces hand-held pneumatic breaking with a large scale hydraulic breaker. The breaker is suspended from an excavator and makes a horizontal fracture in the pile at cut-off level. Each hydraulic cylinder drives a chisel into the concrete producing a horizontal fracture as the breaking force built up this way always seeks the shortest way through the concrete.
The steel chisels do not have to  penetrate beyond the reinforcement bars. After the fracture is made, the chisels penetrate further into the concrete (usually 25-40 mm). Due to the shape of the chisel, in combination with the reaction forces on the concrete by the steel reinforcement, the concrete breaks into pieces and can removed without the need for further breaking.
The pile breakers are available for hire or Trench Control can provide a full contracting crew to carry out the pile breaking on your behalf.
