Client Testimonials

"This project was a stepping stone for OCCI, Inc. and Bluegrass to build a relationship for the future. It is OCCI's intention to partner with Bluegrass for years to come! Since completion of this project, OCCI has been awarded a similar project at another lock and has partnered with BBC to complete the concrete demolition. BBC was chosen for this project due to their innovative approach to the demolition as well as their team approach to the entire job which allowed for overall project success."

Using mobile and efficient robotic hammering equipment, Bluegrass' demolition techniques have proven to be highly effective during outage projects. With an inventory of over 30 Brokk robotic hammers, Bluegrass can quickly mobilize equipment to your work site and provide rapid yet precise controlled demolition services that minimize downtime during an outage.

One benefit of Bluegrass robotic hammering equipment is their small footprint and powerful capabilities that couple to deliver efficient breaking results. Infrared or cable control operation removes our concrete cutting and breaking technicians from hazardous work areas but still allow our hammers to retain the ability to break or modify practically any sized concrete structure with fingertip precision.

Bluegrass was recently contracted to break concrete foundations during a steel mill outage for the Nucor steel mill outage in Norfolk, Nebraska. The project demonstrated the strengths of Bluegrass demolition techniques and robotic hammering equipment.

Project Specifics and Challenges:

  • A series of concrete foundations, six to eight feet wide, twelve to sixteen feet long and eight feet thick needed removed.
  • Since speed and efficiency was crucial, Bluegrass brought eight robotic hammers to the playing field.
  • Site was congested with other contractors cutting rebar, doing clean-up and pouring new concrete foundations.

Project Solutions:
  • The robotic hammering equipment was ganged together for concentrated breaking and maximum efficiency.
  • Small size and precision cutting allowed hammers to effectively work around congested and sensitive areas.
  • Bluegrass controlled demolition techniques and equipment mobility allowed for efficient flow as the project worked from one side of the mill to the other.

If you are looking for a controlled demolition company with precision concrete cutting and breaking solutions, contact Bluegrass for industry leading robotic hammering services.

Bluegrass employs advanced robotic hammering for concrete breaking during outages of industrial or nuclear facilities. Here are just a few examples of our more recent modifications and breaking:


Steel Mills - caster foundations, cooling beds, drive lines, gear boxes, mill stands, compressor pumps, refractory, and roll mill upgrades.

Pulp and Paper Mills - basements, turbine foundations, vacuum foundations, seal pits, base plates, and u-drains.

Cement - baghouses, electric motor foundations, ID foundations, kilns, structural piers.

Power Plants - cooling beds, floor holes, ID fan foundations, scrubbers, turbine pedestals, and rebar chip backs.

WWTP - agitator bases, chest lids, chest foundations, and pump foundations.

The Bluegrass controlled demolition company uses Brokk robotic hammering for metal cutting, concrete demolition, precision cutting, and selective demolition. Controlled demolition with Brokk robotic hammering equipment has many more applications such as controlled construction demolition, industrial renovations, bridge demolition and nuclear decommissioning.
