Demoshling buildings to make room for new ones can be a very messy and very dangerous task. Dynamite is very loud and dangerous and wrecking balls can be just as dangerous with its weight. Each method has explosive power that can send debris in every direction. There has to be a better safer way to demolish buildings more efficiently.
Omer Haciomeroglu has developed a robot that may be the answer to these problems. The ERO Concrete Recycling Robot, his groundbreaking invention, became one of the winners of IDSA’s International Design Excellence awards. This revolutionary device solve the problem of dangerous flying debris while also performing the task of breaking down concrete on the spot and pumping out the raw materials and even packaging them for reuse. This efficiently clean device works in fleets to take down buildings wall by wall.
The process is quite simple, the ERO uses a high-pressure water jet that cracks and breaks down concrete. The robot then gathers a mixture of aggregate and cement and sends it to bags that can be stored and used for new construction. The steel reinforcement bars inside the walls are recycled along with the water. This seems to be a very productive substitute to the traditional methods that depend on fossil fuels to power machinery and recycle very little. Despite all the amazing advantages of the ERO, the design is still a concept for now. Haciomeroglu’s plans were developed from his work at Sweden’s Umea Institute of Design.
