| The diamond wire saw originated as a tool for the stone industry in the 1960's. It was successfully applied to the cutting of reinforced concrete in the early 1980's. Much of the success of the wire saw is due to the increase in productivity. The job is completed with less time and with less manpower required by conventional demolition methods. Conventional methods, which use jackhammers, hoe-rams, explosives and the like, create a considerable amount of noise, dust and vibration. The diamond wire saw, on the other hand, creates very little noise, no dust and does not weaken surrounding structures because of vibration. Also, the length of the wire is virtually unlimited--so any size cut can be made. In operation, the diamond-embedded wire is driven and guided by a pulley system. The guide pulleys are mounted near the structure to be removed. The hydraulic power unit can be placed some distance away from the work area. The pulley system allows for removal of heavy reinforced concrete where the work space is limited or in areas that pose a safety hazard. The "typical" wall cut is illustrated below. A small hole is drilled at each end of the cut and the diamond wire is passed through the holes and coupled together with a steel sleeve. The wire is passed around the drive wheel and over guide pulleys. Wire tension is maintained by a rack and pinion system that moves the drive wheel along the wire saw carriage. The main drive wheel has a "V" groove and rubber lining to grip the wire. A hydraulic motor rotates the drive wheel at a controlled rate and direction selected by the operator. |
