ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns the removal of a concrete covering applied to an underlying surface provided with an anti-corrosion coating, for example that of a hydrocarbon-conveying pipe.
The coating is removed by making trenches in the concrete to divide it into removable elements, the trenches being made using a cylindrical milling cutter having a longitudinal diamond-faced toothing and provided with a central stud of tungsten carbide projecting axially from the end of the cutter. In use the stud contacts the surface to prevent the surface being damaged by the toothing on the cutter as the cutter is moved transversely across the surface. To initiate a concrete covering removal operation, a hole is first drilled through the covering perpendicular to the surface for receiving the stud. The cutter is then moved perpendicularly to the surface through the concrete with the stud projecting into the drilled hole and until the stud contacts the surface. The cutter is then moved transversely over the surface to form the trenches.
