Wire Sawing
Wire sawing is a very versatile and efficient method of
cutting large or difficult sections of heavily reinforced
concrete, with the added benefit of the operation
being dust and vibration free.
The procedure can be used successfully under water,
which is ideal and cost effective when working in
tidal situations or water filled tunnels.
Wire saws are perfect
in complex, awkward
or confined spaces.
A diamond beaded
wire is fed around a
structure and through
a pulley system whilst a
constant pulling force
is applied, forcing the
wire to carve through
the material.
Where wire sawing is
the only solution, i.e.
on ground bearing
slabs over 1m deep,
a plunge wire sawing
method is used.
Through continual
investment, we use
the most advanced,
high frequency wire
sawing technology
and equipment in the
industry today.
