Safe, efficient robotic demolition for tight or high-risk environments with brokk machines.
At Prime Cut Diamond Drilling, we’re proud to offer robotic demolition services using industry-leading Brokk remote-controlled machines. These powerful, compact units allow us to carry out demolition in areas that are too tight, dangerous, or sensitive for traditional methods — with no compromise on power or precision.
What is Robotic Demolition?
Robotic demolition involves the use of remotely operated machines to break out concrete, masonry, brickwork, and other hard materials. Unlike handheld tools or large excavators, robotic machines are:
- Operated via remote control
- Compact enough to fit through doorways and lift shafts
- Designed for low-vibration, low-emission, and high-efficiency work
Brokk is the market leader in this technology — with a full range of machines suitable for everything from tight internal risers to large-scale industrial demolition.
Where Is It Used?
Robotic demolition is ideal for:
- Internal strip-outs and soft demolition before major refurbishments
- High-risk environments like tunnels, kilns, processing plants, and power stations
- Restricted access sites where larger plant can’t reach
- Projects needing low-vibration work near sensitive structures or equipment
- Above-ground floors in buildings with load-bearing limitations
- Breaking out floor gulleys after saw cutting — when two parallel cuts have been made and the central section of concrete needs to be safely removed
For example, after sawing twin channels in a floor slab for drainage or cable runs, a Brokk machine can break out the central trench cleanly and efficiently, with minimal risk to surrounding finishes or structures.

Types of Brokk Machines for robotic demolition
Brokk offers a wide range of remote-controlled demolition robots, each designed for different site conditions, access limitations, and demolition scopes. Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used models in the industry:
🔹 Brokk 70
- Ultra-compact and lightweight
- Fits through standard doorways (only 597mm wide)
- Ideal for indoor work, residential buildings, hospitals, and confined spaces
- Suitable for delicate floors with low load capacity
🔹 Brokk 110
- Small but powerful
- Great for tight spaces like basements, stairwells, or lift shafts
- Commonly used for floor slab removal, internal blockwork, and non-structural walls
🔹 Brokk 170
- A solid mid-range machine offering a good balance of size and power
- Suitable for medium-duty concrete demolition, wall openings, and internal strip-outs
- Can operate a variety of attachments like breakers, buckets, and crushers
🔹 Brokk 300 / Brokk 500
- Larger units built for heavy-duty concrete breaking and structural removal
- Often used in industrial plants, bridge decks, and external demolition
- Can handle high-impact tools like hydraulic breakers, scabblers, and grapples
Each machine is electric-powered, offering:
- Zero emissions (ideal for indoor or sensitive environments)
- Low vibration and noise
- Remote control operation for improved safety and access in dangerous or restricted areas
Our Robotic Demolition Services
At Prime Cut, we provide:
- Full robotic demolition packages using Brokk demolition equipment
- Site assessments to determine access, weight restrictions, and machine requirements
- Skilled, certified operators trained to work in live or sensitive environments
- Concrete bursting and crunching
- Coordination with your team for safe, sequenced demolition
Whether you’re breaking out concrete in a tight riser, removing slabs above finished floors, clearing out a pre-cut chase / trench, or prepping a site for structural alterations — robotic demolition offers a faster, safer alternative to manual methods.
Safety First with robotic demolition - Always
Because robotic demolition keeps operators at a distance, it’s safer than manual methods — especially in high-risk or overhead applications. Every job we carry out follows strict site-specific RAMS, dust suppression, and permit controls, particularly in live buildings.
