Due to the sensitivity of existing waterproofing on the bridge deck sections Power Plane were asked for a solution to remove the badly deformed bituminous surface.
Knowing that the existing surface alongside each edge of the deck had been "untrafficked" it was safe to assume that this was a good representation of what needed removing, so Power Plane chose to use an "offset" laser levelling device which extends from either side of our machine on a hydraulic ram.
This process coupled with the inbuilt machine slope sensors set at zero allowed for quick and accurate removal of the surfacing.
