Trafalgar Construction, use a Wall/Track Saw which uses a
circular blade on a track-mounted machine. The track-mounted wall saw is a
fast, accurate method of creating larger openings, using diamond blades.
It is more typically used to cut precise dimensional openings such as
doors, vents and windows.
The track is fixed to horizontal walls or
steep inclines when the use of a floor saw is not permitted. It is also an
ideal option for forming precise openings in any concrete structure.
Floor sawing is the most commonly used diamond cutting method. It is typically used to cut horizontal flat surfaces such as floors, bridge decks, and pavements. Also called slab saws, floor saws feature a diamond blade that is mounted on a wall-behind machine requiring only one operator. They can cut up to 600mm in depth.
- Track sawing for precise, vertical openings
- Floor sawing for fast cuts through flat surfaces
- Chain and ring saws for straight line cuts
- Wire sawing for the most demanding requirements
Chasing work is carried out with a Hilti DCSE20 with variable width
(0 to 45mm) and depth (0 to 40mm) with vacuum attachment to ensure dust free chasing including with other method. chasing can be done from width (0 to 80mm) and depth (0 to 150mm) in most .
CHASING in walls or floor for conduits/channels etc.
Dust Controlled Chasing
Chasing is often associated with Mechanical & Electrical trades where chases for conduits and pipework are required in a wall, floor, or ceiling of masonry or concrete structures
We carry out chasing using hand held equipment with a blade attached. Two slots are cut at a predetermined depth and then the centre of the channel is removed using a lightweight hand held breaker.
By attaching vacuum equipment, dust is controlled and contained before it reaches sensitive areas or other trade people working adjacently.
Floor chasing is often done using electric or petrol driven floor saws that are more compatible with this type of application. The extra power that the saws generate makes the cutting of larger volumes of work easier, especially when dealing with hard material like concrete. Once cut, the material in-between can be removed using percussive or less disruptive methods.
