Wire Sawing

Originally used for sawing quarry blocks, diamond wire sawing has been adopted by the construction industry to saw through reinforced concrete. A rig of pulleys guide a loop of wire infused with diamonds through the section of concrete being cut. It's particularly ideal in settings where there's restricted access, and the speed and depth of the cut is critical.

Wire Sawing Use Cases

As professional diamond wire saw operators, we prepare the work area, ensuring the material to be cut is properly secured and the cutting path is clearly marked. Once selecting the appropriate diamond wire based on the material’s hardness and thickness, we mount and align it.

At this point, the cutting process begins, adjusting the wire speed and water flow as needed to maintain efficiency and prevent overheating. As the wire abrades through the material, we continuously monitor the cut’s progress, ensuring it aligns with the marked line.

Benefits of Diamond Wire Sawing

Non-Percussive Cutting

Wire sawing is a non-percussive cutting method, which means it does not create vibrations or shock waves. This is particularly beneficial for delicate structures or areas where noise control is crucial. In central London, for instance, where noise pollution is a concern, our diamond wire sawing system offers a major advantage.

Smooth, Clean Cuts for Unmatched Precision

Wire sawing produces smooth, straight cuts with minimal chipping or damage to the surrounding concrete, or any other material we’re cutting through. This ensures precise and accurate cuts, even when dealing with reinforced concrete elements. The smooth cuts also minimise the need for post-cutting finishing, saving your time, and most importantly, saving on unnecessary costs.

Unlimited Depth

Wire sawing is capable of cutting through concrete and metal structures of unlimited depth. This makes it suitable for cutting large concrete structures and cutting through heavily reinforced concrete.

Flexibility and Versatility

Diamond wire saws can be manoeuvred to cut in various angles and orientations, making them suitable for both vertical and horizontal cuts. This flexibility of diamond wire cutting is particularly useful in confined spaces or complex structures where traditional concrete cutting methods may be limited.

Suitable for Confined Spaces

Wire sawing equipment is compact and portable, allowing it to be deployed in tight spaces where conventional concrete cutting methods may be impractical or dangerous. This is often the case in London, where buildings are often closely spaced and access is restricted.

Reduced Dust and Fume Emissions

Wire sawing produces minimal dust and fume emissions compared to cutting concrete with alternative methods. This is beneficial for indoor or enclosed spaces where dust and fumes can cause health hazards and contaminate the work environment.
