Sawing

  • Wall Sawing
  • Wall saws are used for vertical and horizontal surfaces where the angle is too great to allow a floor saw to be used.
  • The corners of an opening after wall sawing are not cut through unless the opening is cut past the connecting cut line. This is due of the use of round diamond blades.Where over cutting needs to be prevented, or represents a structural issue, a core drill is used to complete the corners.
  • Wire Sawing
  • Wire Saw Cutting originated in the stone quarries of Europe and has been adapted to become a fast, safe, and cost effective alternative to conventional demolition methods.Where sawing very thick, deep or hard to access material is required wire sawing is the solution. Many structures are far too large to accommodate traditional saw cutting.
  • Floor Sawing
  • Road sawing, also known as slab sawing, is used to cut horizontal flat surfaces such as concrete floors, tiles, pavers, brick floor, cobble stone, bridge decks, roadways and pavement.Water is used to cool the blades and keep the areas dust free. We are meticulous about keeping our work areas clean. The water is vacuumed up and properly disposed of so that the site is always neat and clean.
  • Hand Sawing
  • Hand Saw Cutting is very versatile and can be used in nearly every situation where cuts are required.

    Petrol and hydraulic powered hand saws have a maximum cutting depth of 150mm

    Electrically powered hand saws have a maximum cutting depth of 130mm.

Typical applications include:

  • Formation of new doorways and windows
  • Expansion cuts in new slabs
  • Demolition cutting of walls and floors
  • Penetrations for service ducts
  • Creating openings for electrical and plumbing services
  • Sawing concrete pipe to length
  • Precision trimming

Ring Sawing

Ring Saw Cutting is ideal when restricted access and a clean cut is required. It is low noise and vibration free.

Ring Saws are commonly used where wall saws are not effective. The ring saw differs from other saws because the blade is not put on a spindle, the blade has no core (center) and it rotates on a roller system.

The depth of cut is limited by the blade diameter, but up to 250mm can usually be managed.

Typical applications include:

  • Wall, Door and window openings
  • Concrete pipes and man hole covers
  • Cutting in confined spaces

Soff Cut Sawing

Soff Cut machines are used for early entry cutting of concrete foundation slabs to complete expansion cuts.

They are used for a range of reasons in a variety of areas within the market – from addressing concerns with tiling in residential housing to large foundation pours for floors & roadways.

The main benefits of soff cut saws:

  • Control shrinkage cracks earlier in the concrete curing process, which creates higher quality foundation slabs.
  • Control cracking in tiling and other rigid flooring products, which can’t accommodate delayed movement in the foundations slab.
  • Save 12 to 36 hours in the construction timeline and in the overall cost of the job.
