Wire Sawing

Wire saw cutting, also known as concrete wire cutting and diamond wire sawing, is the most efficient way to remove large concrete structures or make openings in thick walls. There is virtually no limit in terms of sawing depth. Our innovative wire saws are used when space is limited, or the material is especially thick and time is of the essence.
