Wire Sawing:

Wire sawing employs the use of a hydraulic or electric drive unit and a series of pulleys to pull a loop of steel wire coated in diamonds through the steel reinforced concrete, masonry or metal. This method is ideal for cutting deep large cuts with almost no restriction on cut size.

Typical Applications:

• Concrete or steel pipes
• Openings in re-enforced concrete
• Bridge column removal
• Concrete beam removal
• Isolation cuts between concrete buildings

Floor Sawing:

Floor sawing employs the use of a diesel or electric drive unit and a suitable diamond tipped blade with a cutting depth of 500mm max this unit is usually self propelled and results in a clean straight cut in the concrete slab or asphalt base material

Typical Applications:

• Expansion joints in concrete slab floors
• Openings in concrete slab floors
• Road maintenance

Wall Sawing:

Wall sawing employs the use of a hydraulic or electric drive motor on a fixed track and a suitable diamond blade, this results in a straight clean cut in the steel reinforced concrete or masonry.

Being of small size and low weight, the wall saw is versatile in that it can be used in multi storey buildings where lifting facilities for the heavier floor saw units is not available.

Wall saws are remotely operated, removing the operation from vibration entirely, and distancing this from the noise source.

Typical Applications:

• Door or window openings up to 500mm thick
• Widening lift shaft doorways
• Parapet wall reduction or removal
• Platform overhang trimming
• Openings to cast floor slabs

Plunge Cutting:

Zohrro is the trade name for a tool, which employs the use of a track mounted saw and a chain tipped diamond blade not unlike a chain saw. The chain is pushed into the steel reinforced concrete to create a clean straight cut. The Zohrro is most used when a wall or floor saw will not operate within the workspace, and as the blade is not circular there is no overcut as generated by a circular blade.

Plunge cutting is carried out with a Zohrro saw which is a diamond tipped chain saw, mounted on a track. The chain feeds into the concrete, forming a single cut 230mm long and up to 1m deep. This technique has a greater depth of cut than a circular saw, and does not have the overcut of a circular blade.

Typical Applications:

• Door openings
• Isolation cuts
• Expansion joints
• Small square openings in slabs and walls
