Urban demolition is about control. You need to keep the work zone separated, protect the street side, and stay flexible as the demolition front moves. On a project in Düsseldorf (Germany), contractor Laarakkers installed a vertical containment curtain along the building line using Robusta’s Jumbo Mast.
The key choice: Jumbo Mast (4.5kg/m2) instead of Heavy Trackway (15kg/m2), to reduce handling effort and bring total deployment costs down.
What needed to be solved
The site required a practical screening solution that could be installed along the street frontage and adjusted as work progressed, without turning the curtain itself into a major logistical task. What was needed
Why not Heavy Trackway (for this job)
Heavy Trackway is a known solution, but for this project it would have meant a heavier setup and more handling. Laarakkers wanted a solution that stays efficient in day-to-day execution on a busy, space-constrained site. No crane had to be rented, Laarakkers could use their own Telehandler, saving serious cost.
The setup: Jumbo Mast + vertical containment curtain
Laarakkers deployed the Jumbo Mast as the supporting structure for the demolition curtain. The result is a clear, controlled separation between demolition activity and public space. Practical benefits on site.
- Lighter mat/screen setup - easier to handle and reposition
- No crane lift required for the mat - fewer dependencies in planning
- Lower purchase price - lower entry cost versus heavier alternatives
- Lower total deployment cost - handling + equipment + time adds up
When this approach is a good fit
This setup is especially relevant when you need screening in:
- inner-city environments
- tight access conditions
- projects where flexibility and fast repositioning matter
