Wire Sawing

This is a versatile and flexible method of cutting concrete up to any depth or size using diamond-studded wires to create rectangular or circular openings.

We use this special technique to cut and remove huge segments of concrete; for example, on bridges or reinforced columns. It’s also the technique of choice for areas with restricted access; for example, in a previous job, we used wire sawing to cut doorways and windows into concrete tanks so they could be repurposed as workshops.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Unlimited cutting depth
  • Horizontal, vertical and angled cutting of circular openings
  • Smooth cut face
  • Quick, versatile, flexible
  • Very little noise, vibration or fumes
  • Can be remote controlled for increased safety

Simply Wines

You can bank on D-Drill! A bank vault, that once stored money and other precious items, needed diamond cutting technology to see its safe removal. Simply Wines, a Reading-based wine merchant, purchased a property on Pangbourne High Street that was formerly a branch of NatWest Bank.  The purchase was part of the wine merchant’s planned expansion but in order to turn the property into a retail unit, the company needed to remove the existing bank vault.  Experts from D-Drill’s London and South office were called in to discuss the options to ensure minimal disruption – including to other businesses along the busy High Street.  John Barber, of D-Drill, said: “The vault was constructed of 700mm thick heavily reinforced concrete and was designed to be impregnable!  “It also fronted the busy High Street which meant there were going to be other constraints when it came to removing the vault, not least making it a sensitive, safe working environment.”  After carrying out a...
