Diamond Wire Sawing
Wire sawing has been traditionally used in stone quarries and the development of the equipment for use in the construction industry has been a fairly new development.
Using diamond impregnated wire running around a series of pulleys, the technique can be used in a variety of ways not feasible with other forms of diamond drilling or sawing equipment. Examples include work in restricted spaces, and situations where especially thick sections of concrete need to be cut for removal.
