5 Key Advantages of Hiring Floor Sawing Services

Floor sawing, which is one of the most popular diamond cutting techniques is used for making straight and precise cuts on horizontal surfaces such as driveways, roads, bridge decks, pavements, and yards etc.

So, whether you talk about forming expansion joints or eliminating a damaged part of a pavement you can easily rely on floor sawing services. Floor sawing is a perfect option for making clean cuts on horizontal surfaces for both indoor and outdoor construction projects.

Floor sawing specialists can easily carry out repairs and cutting jobs in confined spaces with the help of portable saws. In other words, because a lightweight portable floor saw can be easily handled by a single person they remain the preferred choice for confined spaces.

So, if you are planning to carry out cutting and repair jobs for flat surfaces, here is why you need to hire floor sawing services from a reliable company.

Perfect For Cutting Reinforced Concrete & Asphalt

Floor sawing is one of the best ways to create quality cuts on reinforced concrete and asphalt structures. Since floor saws can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects they remain the best option for concrete cutting experts for repairing roads or carrying out concrete cutting jobs in schools, colleges, factories, and hospitals etc. When it comes to making cuts on concrete and asphalt structures up to 500mm depth, then nothing can prove to be more helpful than floor sawing.

It’s a Vibration-Free Diamond Cutting Technique

If you are looking forward to using a vibration-free concrete cutting technique to make precise cuts on flat surfaces, look no further than floor sawing. One of the biggest advantages of a vibration-free concrete cutting technique is that it helps in maintaining structural integrity. So, whether you are planning to make clean cuts on floors or bridge decks, floor sawing can prove to be extremely helpful for you.

It Produces No Dust And Fumes

Whenever concrete cutting jobs are carried out by experts on construction sites they have to deal with huge dust and toxic fumes that have severe consequences for their health. When dust produced at construction sites is inhaled by workers they remain at the high risk of facing health problems like asthma, lung infections and heart disorders etc. Therefore it’s better to use techniques like floor sawing that can prevent the production of dust and toxic fumes at construction sites.

Floor Saws Are Available In Different Sizes

Since floor saws are available in different sizes you can easily use them for both large-scale and small-scale concrete cutting jobs. You can use high-end diesel-powered floor saws for executing outdoor construction projects. And when it comes to executing indoor projects you can use electrical floor saws.

Floor Saws Are Highly User-Friendly

When you handle a bulky construction equipment you run the risk of injuries, however, when it comes to using floor saws you do not have to be bothered about anything like that because they are highly user-friendly.

So if you are looking forward to hiring high-quality concrete cutting services, don't hesitate to get in touch with CA Drillers to fulfill your requirement.

An Overview of Concrete Chasing - Wall & Floor Chasing

Whether considering a home renovation or managing a construction site, it demands a lot of patience and hard work to manage the task on yourself. There are many things to consider, and we are often left with little time to supervise that each task is on track. But, the new technology, advanced equipment and techniques have made the construction process smooth and efficient. With such innovations, our lives have become easysaw.

Concrete chasing is one of the brilliant construction techniques. Both diamond and abrasive blades are used to carry out floor and wall chasing; it enables the accurate depths and widths to be formed in brickwork, blockwork, plaster, concrete, renders or screeds to from chased for conduits, pipes, and trunking for electrical and plumbing work without compromising on aesthetics.

Read on to have the basic understanding of the concrete chasing. 

What is Concrete Chasing?

It is an effective technique to trim neat channels in masonry or concrete structures known as chases. These chases are created with the help of a power grinder containing a diamond blade. This process helps you cut two slots with accurate depth and width. After the slots are cut, a miniature breaker or a hammer drill removes the concrete centrepiece. This process is done quickly, and the attached vacuum offers a dust-free experience by collecting all the dust.

How do Floor and Wall Chasing work?

Whether floor chasing or wall chasing, it requires a hand power grinder with diamond blades to cut down the blockwork or brickwork. The edges are perfectly set to cut accurately to set the depth. Operators make parallel cuts  in proportion to the sockets or cables it requires. It also has a dust extraction vacuum that helps in a dust-free process. Once the strategy of cutting is over, a power drill or miniature breaker may be used to remove the centrepiece.

Advantages of Floor and Wall Chasing

Dust-free

Concrete chasing is a dry technique, unlike conventional methods that require water as a coolant. It produces minimal dust when cutting channels on concrete, brick or block structures. The machine has a vacuum attached to it, so dust is extracted out, which offers you an efficient outcome.

Precision

It creates precise chases on concrete and masonry structures for conduit and pipe work in floors, ceilings and floors, making it convenient for all types of brickwork, blockwork and concrete.

Efficient

It is one of the fastest and most streamlined techniques compared to other cutting methods.

Perfect Choice for Concrete Surface

Concrete chasing quickly makes chases on the concrete surfaces. Moreover, it is an excellent substitute for diamond floor sawing that cuts deeper whenever required.

Fewer Vibrations

It produces little vibrations; therefore, ideal when noise or integrity of the structure is the concern.

Dry Cuts

As water is not required as a coolant, it is free of all the risks involving water on your site.

Uses of Floor and Wall Chasing

Typically, the chases are classified depending upon their size, such as single and double (25 by 25 mm and 50 by 25 mm, respectively). It is most commonly used on walls, floors and ceilings to create chases for cables. As a versatile cutting technique, it can be used in various materials such as reinforced concrete, asphalt, and brick.

If a lot of chasing needs to be formed, a diamond floor saw can be used instead of hand-held cutters. If required, after cutting, a hammer or breaker can be used to break the centrepiece away. Chasing is also used in electrical and plumbing projects to create conduits or trunking.

Wall Chasing

When you need electrical cabling and plumbing pipework, wall chasing is required to cut in the narrow wall channels. During your renovation or construction of a new home, it will help you create conduits.

Wall Cutting

If you want to install new windows, doors or any other interior requirement, then this requires wall cutting of concrete or brick walls; these services are crucial for building the renovation projects.

Concrete Floor Cutting

Concrete floor cutting is the perfect option if you are planning to renovate your home and require new conduits.

Core Drilling

Core drilling helps create various types of large holes if you need to get a home renovation or plumbing work done.

Wrapping Up

We hope you are now familiar with wall and floor chasing and how it is mainly used for pipes, conduits, and trunking. Whether you consider the benefits of floor and wall chasing or its uses, it is the most efficient technique to get the most satisfactory outcomes.Besides being an expert at cutting neat and clean chases in masonry and concrete structures, diamond drilling Kent provides premium services in all diamond drilling and sawing areas.

Different Types of Concrete Sawing Techniques & Their Benefits
Cutting concrete with pinpoint accuracy and safely removing it from the construction site remains the challenge for most drilling experts. Concrete sawing, which can be explained in layman's terms as the process of making holes and openings in reinforced concrete, remains an integral part of construction projects. Nowadays, drilling experts have used many innovative tools and techniques for sawing concrete and effectively eliminating it from the site. Without cutting-edge tools, contractors and drilling experts can't carry out concrete sawing services safely without causing any threat to their surroundings. Concrete cutting is a primary job taken up at any construction site. It includes drilling, sawing and removal of unwanted debris with the help of a specially designed saw integrated with diamond blades. The demand for concrete sawing is increasing worldwide for renovation and remodelling projects resulting in massive investments. Hence, construction professionals need to make several changes in the existing state of a building and structure to fix its condition. A concrete saw is a high-quality tool used by drilling experts to make cuts and openings on hard materials such as brick, masonry, concrete, and tile. This tool can be handheld equipment or a big walk-behind saw which often works with the support of either electric motors or gasoline. The good thing is that today a variety of concrete saws are available to contractors to carry out various types of concrete sawing services, such as dry and wet sawing. Let's briefly understand the concrete sawing methods.

Dry Sawing – Suitable For Outdoor Projects

Dry sawing is a concrete cutting method characterised by the production of enormous dust, and hence it is used by contractors for large-scale outdoor projects. The diamond blade is often used for dry sawing to prevent it from overheating without water. Diamond blades are also handy for minimising dust buildup.

Wet Sawing – An Eco-friendly Technique Of Cutting Concrete

Another essential sawing technique used worldwide is wet sawing, which is characterised by the lesser production of harmful dust. Wet sawing is considered an eco-friendly concrete cutting method compared to dry sawing. The blade remains cool because of water, which eventually prevents or minimises the production of harmful dust. Now let's discuss several sawing techniques and their usage.

Wire Sawing & Its Importance

Wire saws are designed to create highly accurate cuts in steel and reinforced concrete. If you are looking forward to creating various shapes in various sizes, then nothing can be more beneficial to you than wire saws. Wire saws, which can be diamond-embedded cables used for creating holes and openings, offer tremendous flexibility to contractors and helps in minimising wastage. Since wire sawing is an anti-vibration technique for making cuts, it does not produce cracks around the openings created by the contractors.

Floor Sawing & Its Significance

Floor sawing is a technique for developing perfect holes and cuts into roads, concrete floors, or slabs. It explains that floor saws are purposely manufactured to create precise cuts on flat surfaces.

Wall Sawing & Its Benefits

The primary function of wall sawing is to cut vertical structures developed of heavily reinforced concrete such as walls. Wall saws are another term for track saws, and they are mainly used in construction projects for creating doors and windows etc.

Ring Sawing & Its Advantages

Because ring saws are handheld tools, they are generally used by contractors for executing small and medium-sized concrete sawing projects. Ring sawing is utterly similar to chainsawing, and contractors prefer these techniques for creating holes and openings in confined spaces. Lastly, if you are searching to employ wire sawing, floor sawing, ring sawing, wall sawing, flush cutting, slab sawing, and hydraulic cutting services, please ensure that you contact a renowned company like diamond drilling Kent, which prides itself on having a team of highly competent concrete cutting specialists.

Flush Cutting & Its Benefits

Flush cutting saws can cut a dowel or tenon flush to its surrounding surface without causing any damage. It is probably the best-known technique of the oscillating tool. However, things could go wrong if the operator does not have fundamental skills. Offset blades can cut quickly and accurately on trim boards installed in a doorway, allowing a new tile or hardwood flooring to skid under the trim. It can be used for multiple things, as flush saws are not limited to saw blades because grinders and slicing can work on them.

Slab Sawing & Its Benefits

Concrete slab sawing cuts the upper portion of existing concrete to an even, flat plane. It levels the damaged pavement, provides control joints or lays underground wires and pipes. Structural decks, roadways, or any other horizontal surface dignify the grade of the slab. Slab saw runs on gas, diesel, electric and hydraulic. Unlike wall sawing, concrete slab sawing can be performed on horizontal surfaces. However, many other fundamentals that govern wall sawing apply to slab sawing. It is used to cut an opening for a new staircase or remove a damaged concrete section. Concrete sawing is the most identified diamond cutting technique, featuring a diamond blade mounted on a walk-behind machine and requires an expert to operate it.

Hydraulic Cutting

A hydraulic cutting technique is ideal for cutting metal cables, pipes and strips. But do you know how it works? Hydraulic cutters use a hydraulic mechanism to shut the scissors' hardened steel blades. Oil under high pressure of around 700 bar gets pumped to the movement mechanism to deliver enough power to cut the most rigid material. It is one of the most appropriate technologies in the construction industry, diamond drilling Kent has sought to and succeeded in mastering hydraulic cutting to bring the highest quality result. It allows for the quiet curing process and removes a large portion of concrete, including beams, foundations or pillars, making it efficient for the tidy removal of concrete.

All You Need To Know About Concrete Sawing
London and other parts of the Great Britain are seeing massive action in building demolition and new infrastructure development industry. And thus, concrete sawing has emerged as an everyday or common need of construction businesses.

What Is Concrete Sawing Process?

concrete sawing process Concrete sawing is an efficient way of cutting, drilling and removing concrete, asphalt and masonry. The process is important for construction companies involved in repair, remodelling and development of buildings. For example, if you want to make a new pathway for your garage removing the old concrete slab, concrete sawing is the answer.

Equipment Used for Concrete Sawing

equipment for concrete sawing Equipment or machines used for concrete sawing application are known as concrete saws. These are electrically or hydraulic powered machines with diamond coated blades to effectively cut through concrete and other building materials. As similar to a tiller, these saws are operated in either hand-held or walk-behind mode of operation. Concrete saws are available in different designs including circular, chain and jig blade. These saws use the diamond blade as an abrasive or core cutting technology and thus also known as diamond saws.

Various Concrete Saws Used By The Experts

  • Floor Saws:

    As the name suggested, these saws are used for cutting horizontal flat surfaces like concrete floors, roads, slabs and pavements.
  • Track Saws:

    They are used to create openings in walls, floors and other structures in confined spaces.
  • Wire Saws:

    They are used for more complex and large-scale commercial cutting projects where track saw fail to meet the requirements of the project.
  • Ring & Chain Saws:

    They are handheld concrete cutting saws. They are compact in size and thus used for concrete cutting in the limited access area. They help make accurate cuts with perfect square corners in single pass.
  • Deep Saws:

    They are commonly used in pavement repair or removal projects. Depending on your project needs and worksite condition, you need to choose right concrete saw that ensure safe, precise and timely outcomes.

Two Primary Concrete Sawing Methods

concrete sawing methods Let’s discuss two most fundamental techniques of concrete sawing used by professionals to minimise threat to safety and ensure quality output in time.
  • Wet Concrete Cutting:

    In this method, water is used during the operation to control temperature of diamond blade low and prevent it from overheating. Use of water also helps minimise the production of dust during cutting and cut accurately leaving clean cuts behind.
  • Dry Concrete Cutting:

    In this method, diamond blade with toothed rim design is used to keep the abrasive blade cool and free of dust build-up during cutting operation. To prevent overheating, diamond sawing specialists make a series of cuts to obtain desired depth of cutting instead of achieving it in a single deep cut. Compared to wet cutting, dry cutting produces more dust at the job site. And thus they are preferred for outdoor concrete cutting applications but not for indoor operations.
