Skanska, a world wide construction
company, turned to AquaTeq with a different problem. Skanska cleans
culverts under the railway embankments for the Swedish rail traffic
authority, Banverket. Earlier the task has been performed with equipment
mounted on railway wagons, resulting in disturbances of the train
traffic.
Skanska was now looking for a different kind of jetting vehicle
giving them flexibility without causing unnecessary traffic disturbances.
Skanska had good experience working with us and decided to put the
project in our hands.
AquaTeq designed a jetting equipment mounted on a forest machine,
a forwarder built to make its way across rugged terrain. The water
is refilled from the closest stream with the help of a special ejector
and a high-pressure pump. The jet effect fills the ten-cubic-metre
tank in about six minutes.
The mounted jetting equipment, the water supply equipment together
with the flexible forest machine gives Skanska the possibility to
freely move around without disturbing the train traffic.
