Challenge:<\/strong> Maintaining railway bridges is a complex task. Traditional open blasting methods, while effective for rust and paint removal, come with significant drawbacks\u2014noise, dust, and hazardous waste generation. For BaneNor, the Norwegian National Rail Administration, these challenges were amplified by concerns over lead contamination in aging paint systems and the proximity of residential areas to their railway bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/strong>: In a collaborative pilot project with Pinovo AS, BaneNor tested Pinovo\u2019s innovative closed-loop vacuum blasting system<\/a> on the historic railway bridge at Arna Station, Bergen. The project aimed to demonstrate how this ATEX-certified, environmentally conscious technology could replace traditional methods, reducing noise, waste, and overall environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key advantages of Pinovo’s technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time efficiency<\/strong>:
Vacuum blasting required only 14.5 hours<\/strong> to complete the task, compared to 115 hours<\/strong> with traditional open blasting. The method’s precision and reduced need for extensive scaffolding and cleanup resulted in significant time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
