Floor sawing
Used to cut horizontal flat concrete surfaces such as roads, pavements, runways, car parks, bridges and concrete slabs. Floor sawing is quick and efficient and often used when surface repairs need to be made in a short space of time.
Like a wall saw the system consists of circular blade mounted on a spindle and powered by a diesel or petrol engine. An operator walks behind the unit as it moves along a flat surface. The diamond blade is capable of cutting up to 500 mm in depth.
wall Sawing
The fastest and most precise method of creating openings in vertical concrete structures. This technique is commonly used to cut door and window openings through walls and floors.
The system consists of a track that supports a travelling bogie and circular steel blade with diamond segments. The track is bolted to the concrete surface, such as a wall or other steep incline. The bogie travels backwards and forwards along the track rails, powered by hydraulic or electric motor. The cut is made as the blade makes a series of passes over the surface area. This method can be used to cut openings of up to 1005mm deep.
Wire Sawing
Ideal for removing large concrete structures and where other cutting methods are impractical. A beaded diamond wire is threaded through a series of pulleys attached to a drive wheel. A constant pulling force is applied to the spinning wire to cut through the concrete. The diamond wire sawing system can be used to cut through vertical, horizontal, included and angled openings. The wire length can be easily extended for almost unlimited cutting depths.
Diamond wire saws can be operated in confined spaces, are fast and emit low levels of noise. It is versatile for extracting large sections of heavily reinforced concrete like bridge sections, columns and beams.
core Drilling
Core drilling is the most efficient way of creating holes and slots from 10mm to 1 meter in diameter, to virtually unlimited depths. openings can be drilled through all types of concrete and brickwork for plumbing and electrical installations. This is also an effective method of creating holes for the installation of pipes and cables, anchoring bolts and load carrying devices.
Drill bits are mounted on the rotating end of various drilling machines with diamond segments welded to the drilling end. Powered by electric or hydraulic power systems, this technique ensures low noise output and is dust free. Machines can be operated in horizontal, vertical and inverted positions for use in confined spaces. For large or abnormal openings a technique called diamond stitch drilling is used, where a series of adjacent holes are drilled to form the opening.
Floor Preparation
Polished Concrete
You can polish old or new concrete slabs. The polishing process will reveal the stone in the concrete to give you an appealing appearance.
You can colour new concrete mix or even seed the top of the slab with coloured glass pieces or other objects like nuts and bolts to create a unique and interesting effect. The combinations are only limited by your imagination.
Floor Preparation
Hiperfloor
Using new diamond grinding technology Hiperfloor transforms existing and new concrete surfaces into a beautiful high gloss, mirror like, high performance, environmentally friendly and long lasting value floor.
hand-held chain and ring saws
Both techniques are ideal for cutting door and window openings. The diamond chain saw resembles the wood-cutting chain saw except the chain is fitted with diamond segments. The hand-held chain saw is quick and efficient to operate and is used for straight line cuts with right-angle corners.
The ring saw design is based upon an angle grinder. Like the chain saw it is a hand held device, powered by hydraulics or petrol engine that require a water supply. The depth of the cut is determined by the diameter of the diamond blade. The hydraulic saws are fairly quiet to operate and vibration free. These hand-held portable devices are ideal for construction and demolition sites where access or workspace is limited.
Handsaw: Depth of cut is 150mm
Ringsaw: Depth of cut is 250mm
Chainsaw: Depth of cut is 650mm
