“We noticed a pain point where contractors are still using hand lances for jobs that can be accomplished more quickly with a hydrodemolition robot, given the right setup,” said Roger Simonsson, managing director of Aquajet. “To make it easier to deploy hydrodemolition robots in even the toughest environments, we upgraded both the Aqua Spine and Ergo Climbers and developed a fully customisable support system with adjustable legs, brackets and rotatable joints. This allows contractors to purchase a system tailored specifically to their project needs, ensuring the right configuration for each job.”

The Aqua Spine 3.0 is designed to expand range and flexibility for both on and offshore hydrodemolition applications. New passable mounts/brackets, support legs, adapter plates and feet make up the Aqua Spine, providing users the option to build longer setups when needed. Passable mounts allow the ‘Power Head’ to move from section to section without the need to stop and reposition. It is compatible with the ‘Circular Power Head’ and ‘Aqua Centralizer’, a ring mounted to the Aqua Spine base used for work on pipes or inside tunnels. 

The updated Ergo Climber 3.0 features several improvements, with new passable brackets designed to enable the movement of the ‘Ergo Power Head’ continuously along the scaffolding. “With this new support system, contractors can easily adjust the support legs to exact heights or angles, ensuring stability and optimal positioning for their hydrodemolition project, regardless of the surface or environment,” says Simonsson. It is designed to deliver even more flexibility and stability when working with the Aqua Spine 3.0 or the Ergo, offering a customisable solution that adapts to the specific demands of each job. 

The system consists of support legs, brackets and joints that are easily adjustable in both height and angle. Featuring only nine parts, the system uses interchangeable CC80 hole pattern and M16 screws, enabling quick reconfiguration from one project to the next. Contractors can also select from light and heavy versions to meet the specific job needs. The ‘light’ series is a lighter weight, flexible system ideal for the Ergo, while the ‘heavy’ series is more stable and robust to handle a more powerful machine, such as the ‘Aqua Cutter’ 750V’s power head. 

These systems can be adapted to a wide range of industries to remove any number of materials. It adapts to various surfaces allowing contractors to precisely adjust leg height and angle for optimal stability. Fully customisable for specific project requirements, the system’s reusability and scalability allow for future reconfiguration.
