WALLSAW / SLABSAW
|
Depending on
the need, circular, diamond-tipped
blades are mounted onto a range of power units – from walk-behind slab saws for cutting level surfaces, to track-mounted wall saws for cutting steep or vertical inclines, or even handheld units for smaller cuts.

WIRESAW
|
A motorized system of drive and guide wheels pulls a diamond-encrusted wire around – and ultimately through – the object being cut. To cut voids from a larger structure, pilot holes are first drilled into the structure at the ends of each cutting plane. The wire is then fed through the holes to create the loop that will sever the spoils from the remaining form. |

Typical Materials Cut:
- Heavily-reinforced concrete
- Solid stainless steel
- Rock
Cut Sizes:
- Limitless dimensions and volume
|
Typical Cutting Applications:
- Crossovers in extremely thick structures.
- Demolition of mass-concrete forms such as dams, towers, piers and nuclear facilities.
- Cutting of structures under water or otherwise inaccessible.
- Cutting of fixtures with complex, irregular shapes.
|
Advantages:
- Precise cuts with no over-cutting at corners and smooth finished surfaces.
- Lack of vibration, noise, dust and flying debris enables “clean” demolition in sensitive and occupied areas.
- Controlled cutting leaves remaining structures safely intact.
- Quick, versatile, safe and economical alternative to conventional demolition.

COREDRILLING
|
|
A diamond-tipped, drum-shaped coring bit is mounted on a guiding track for drilling level, plumb or precisely angled, clean, round
openings.
Typical Materials Cut:
- Steel-reinforced concrete, pre-cast concrete, asphalt, masonry, metal and rock.
Cut Sizes:
- 1/2” — 72” diameter with depths up to and exceeding 110’ in depth.
