Concrete Cutting Sydney

Core drilling is an indispensable, vibration free, method of forming clean holes in structural concrete and other building materials. Core drilling hole sizes vary in diameter from 10mm up to 1000mm. The holes can be formed using either electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically driven drill motors. Stitch drilling is a method of using interlocking diamond cored holes to provide openings of any shape or size in reinforced concrete and other building materials, through walls, floors and soffits.

Hand Saw Cutting is very versatile and can be used in almost any situation where cuts are required. Petrol and hydraulic powered hand saws have a maximum cutting depth of 150mm while electrically powered hand saws have a maximum cutting depth of 130mm.

• 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 is a hand held method of saw cutting, used to form cuts up to 265mm deep in all building materials, using a diamond tipped offset cutting wheel, either hydraulically or electrically driven Ring Saws are commonly used where wall saws are not effective.

Ring Saw Cutting is ideal when dealing with restricted access and a clean cut is required. It is low noise and vibration free. 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 265mm can usually be managed.

Typical applications include:

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

Chain sawing is used where over cutting is not allowed to form square cut corners, ideally used in masonry openings and capable of cutting up to 600mm deep. Cut with ease, speed and portability through Reinforced Concrete, Brick, Block, Concrete Pipe and Natural Stone.

The unique versatility of a concrete cutting chain saw includes the ability to cut small mechanical openings, deep plunge cuts (up to 20" deep and 19" square), perfect corners and an endless variety of irregular shapes that are simply not possible with conventional concrete sawing equipment.

Typical applications include:

• Precise cuts and openings in concrete, brick and block walls to prevent overcuts
• Create perfect corners in doors and windows
• Cut mechanical openings and irregular shapes (ducting, floor boxes, etc)
• Perfect square corners up to 19" with no overcuts
• Deep plunge cuts – up to 20" deep
• Durable industrial finish on die-cast aluminium body stands up to harsh environments

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 or roadways.

Typical applications include:

• 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.

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. Our concrete floor sawing machines can be either diesel, petrol or electrically driven to produce cuts up to 525mm deep in concrete slabs, using diamond tipped cutting blades.

Typical applications include:

• Cut expansion joints
• Removing damaged pavement sections
• Cut trenches for conduits
• Access utilities without damage
• Cutting of curb and gutter

Wall sawing uses a mounted concrete saw, either electrically or hydraulically driven, used to form openings in walls and soffits up to 1000mm deep, in reinforced concrete and other building materials 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.

Typical applications include:

• Straight smooth finished opening in walls, ceiling, and floor
• Accurately sized, fixture ready openings for doors or windows
• Create precise cuts in vertical or horizontal surfaces
• Cut access ways for staircases and elevators
• Create crossovers for mechanical services and cabling
• Confined Spaces / restricted access areas

Wire sawing is a technique using diamond impregnated wire, running through a series of drive and guide pulleys to form cuts where other methods of drilling or sawing aren't feasible due to the shape or size of the material to be cut. Threaded on a flywheel hydraulically driven by an electric motor diamond wire is used primarily for cutting heavily reinforced concrete where space is limited and time is critical. The use of diamond wire allows for cutting structures unlimited in size with virtually no vibration or dust.

Typical applications include:

• Straight smooth finished opening in walls, ceiling, and floor
• Mass concrete removal without breakage
• Performs cuts in restricted locations
• Cut through heavy rebar and embedded steel
• Cut cement virtually unlimited thickness
