Demolishing to rebuild: the efficiency of the IRP 18 X in action in Ahmedabad

In Ahmedabad, in the Indian state of Gujarat, Kalupur railway station is changing its appearance. A redevelopment project, started in June 2024 and scheduled for completion by June 2027, will transform it into a modern hub. An important step in this journey is the demolition of the old station building: a demanding job, requiring the dismantling of reinforced concrete structures.

For this phase of the works, the choice fell on an Indeco IRP 18 X rotating pulverizer,  supplied by DCS Techno Services, Indeco’s long-standing dealer in India, and mounted on a Hyundai 215 excavator.

IRP rotating pulverizers are the ideal attachments for primary demolition of buildings, vertical structures, flooring, and slabs. Their strong point is continuous 360° hydraulic rotation, ensuring an optimal grip on materials at all times. This allows the operator to reach different sections of the structure with precision and flexibility, separating materials directly on site.

The IRP 18 X is ideal for 14- to 30-ton excavators and combines power with control, boasting a maximum force at the tip of 65 ton, a maximum force at the shears of 210 ton, and a maximum jaw opening of 820 mm.

The job site in Ahmedabad confirms the vital role that high-quality equipment such as the Indeco IRP 18 X and the support of specialized dealers like DCS Techno Services play in carrying out complex infrastructure and demolition projects.
