subject: Concrete Coring [print this page] Concrete cutting is a specialized area, offering niche services to customers within the building and construction industry. Concrete cutting spans a range of activities, which typically include drilling, sawing, crunching and specialised demolitions of buildings and concrete surfaces. Concrete cutting services, are typically required by building owners, construction groups, utility agencies and small builders, and they avail a range of professional services including:
Concrete Bursting & Crunching
Diamond Drilling and Sawing
Dowel Hole Drilling
Floor Sawing
Ring Sawing & Chain Sawing
Wire Sawing & Wall Sawing
Thermic Lancing
Robotic Demolition
These services are particularly useful in the construction of new building projects, water treatment works, remodelling and refurbishment of large residential and commercial facilities. Further, sophisticated machinery such as automatic drilling machines can help with drilling vertical and horizontal holes. Also, confined spaces, which offer no access, can now be entered with the help of robotic breaking machines. With the use of a robotic breaking machine, operators can manage the activity through remote controlled operations.
Further, services such as stitch drilling help to open up overlapping holes on a concrete surface, and help make openings of any shape and thickness. Similarly, powerful hydraulic bursters can help with silently splitting concrete sections, and present an ideal solution in the removal of foundations, machine bases, etc. Another key technique is thermic lancing which helps in the removal of reinforced concrete structures such as columns and beams, and also effective in cutting metals through heavy metals such as bronze and steel.
Quality service providers recognise that concrete cutting is an activity that needs to be delivered with great care. For instance, work on large public facilities need to be managed with sensitivity and consideration, to ensure reduced noise levels and minimal disruption to access for the public. Hence, the specialist service providers often aid with project planning, offer fast and efficient service to customers, and ensure that employees are well trained and have the necessary skills to efficiently deliver on tasks. They also ensure that the work environment is safe and adheres to the recommended health and standards.
Further, to ensure quality performance, the specialist concrete cutting firms also own and maintain their equipment. Doing so ensures that the equipment stays well managed, performs reliably and importantly offers the highest standards of operator safety.
