Generally,
still considered under the umbrella of the construction industry, concrete cutting Capalaba is that particular process of controlled sawing, drilling and removing
concrete. Moreover, this work type is specifically done by skilled operators
using special saws.
The job
entails the cutting of concrete and asphalt with precision and accuracy. With
today’s modern
concrete cutting Capalaba techniques, this particular task uses specialized machinery in
making a smooth, attractive finish of concrete and asphalt, sometimes, metal
and rock.
In the old days, concrete cutting Capalaba was using jack hammers to break up the concrete. However, that method left
everything dusty and messy, not to mention the resulting work is not precise
and has rough edges.
Here’s a rundown of
common concrete-cutting tasks (from dinky to monster-sized) and the best tools
and techniques for handling them.
Concrete cutters
To match the various
materials with their diverse types and strengths, concrete cutters use
different specs of diamond blades. The proper diamond saw blade cuts more
quickly and need less water to create a sleek finish.
The other modern
concrete saws have local vacuum systems which capture most of the dust. High-standard
commercial concrete cutting companies should by now (if they have not) be using
these modern concrete cutting strategies and tools.
There are actually various
ways of core cutting in concrete.
Diamond sawing/ concrete wall sawing
Today’s diamond saws
are much faster, more precise and require fewer operators. They can also cut
rebar and other metals. They are thankfully quieter and create less vibration
than other saws. These diamond cutting systems are usually used solely by
contractors.
On the other hand, only
circular blades on a track-mounted machine can handle cutting concrete walls. The
track makes it possible for the saw to climb walls or cut ceilings. This method
is used to cut walls between 16 and 36 inches thick.
Flat sawing
Also called slab
sawing, the flat sawing method is used in cutting floors, bridge decks, and
pavements. The saws used in flat sawing are set on a movable cart that the
operator pushed from behind.
This particular
method is used to fix highway roads or used in cutting plumbing trenches. It is
also used to get broken pipes or wiring beneath a concrete floor.
Wire sawing
When there is no
other method that works or is impractical, the commercial concrete cutters
choose wire sawing as a last resort when nothing works. This method is usually
used for much larger concrete cutting jobs.
The saw is made from
a cable with tiny diamond segments put through pulleys. These are attached by a
hydraulic-powered drive. Wire saws and others that have such complex machinery
should only be handled by professionals.
Core drilling
Cure cutting in
concrete is used in creating openings for pipes, wires, ventilating or air
conditioning vents to pass through. Core drilling is actually having the cutter
make precise, circular holes.
Companies use core
drills (steel tubes with diamond-tipped bits) for the job. Core cutting
services are usually called to perform core drilling because it requires
professional skill and precision.
