What is Wire Sawing?
A Wire Saw is a continuous steel cable with diamond impregnated beads spaced 10mm to 30mm apart. When cutting, continuous stream of water is used to lubricate and remove the concrete in a slurry form.
The Benefits for You of Wire Sawing
Wire Sawing is ideal for cutting large concrete masses at high speed and avoids overcutting. Holes are drilled to place the wire saw precisely where you want to start the cut. To remove a section of concrete with a circular blades, overcutting is required on the corners.
Huge masses of concrete and stone can be removed with a wire saw so long as you can circumnavigate the piece to be cut.
