Rio Verde viaduct - Third tallest pillars in Europe The hydrodemolition technique, which uses high-pressure water jets to remove damaged concrete, has played a vital role in the repairs and strengthening of the Italian multi-span Rio Verde Viaduct. The viaduct is one of the tallest in Europe and carries the busy dual two lane A15/E33 Autostrada della Cisa over a steep sided valley in the municipality of Pontremoli. Conjet hydrodemolition equipment was used to remove damaged concrete from the faces of the viaduct’s rectangular concrete pillars, which rise up to 136m from the valley bottom to the steel deck, followed by replacement with a new and thicker concrete skin.
