Ashton Sawing and Drilling: Concrete Cutting
Techniques Used by Concrete Cutting Contractors
Concrete sawing and cutting is a very precise, controlled process that must be done correctly in order to ensure safe, accurate results. Without the proper tools and methods for each procedure, you run the risk of damaging the surrounding structures, or creating a concrete form or surface that isn’t structurally sound. Skilled concrete drilling companies use professional, specialized saws to cut concrete precisely and accurately. At Ashton Sawing and Drilling, we have decades of industry experience in concrete cutting and sawing throughout the Gulf States. We keep up on the latest industry standards and technological advancements in concrete sawing and cutting techniques, so we can offer our clients the safest, most reliable, and most efficient services in concrete sawing and concrete cutting.
Common Concrete Sawing and Cutting Techniques
The concrete sawing technique used depends on a variety of factors, including the temperature, age, mix, and moisture level of the concrete. Here are a few reliable concrete sawing techniques:
- Dry sawing – for outdoor projects only, as it creates a lot of dust. Uses a diamond blade to improve precision and minimize dust.
- Wet sawing – environmentally friendly and causes less dust. The cutting blade remains cool due to water flow, and less harmful dust is released.
- Wall sawing – used to create openings for doors, windows, and duct work. It can also be used in the demolition of buildings, bridges, and dams. The saws can be operated by people, or remotely.
- Slab sawing – used on floors or streets with a self-propelled saw. Used to install, inspect, or replace plumbing or electrical pipes underneath the floor or streets. Can also be used for removal or placement of new pavement.
- Brokk Demolition – used for high-performance demolition in difficult to reach, confined, or dangerous spaces. Eliminates harmful vibrations and fumes.
- Core drilling – concrete core drilling creates cylindrical holes in concrete for testing, removal, or pressure testing.
- Wire sawing – uses a diamond wire saw to cut and remove large pieces of concrete.
- Concrete scanning – ground-penetrating radar is used to analyze depth and width within concrete structures prior to coring, cutting, drilling, or excavating.
