Familiarity with concrete cutting methods
What methods are used to cut concrete depends entirely on our purpose for cutting the desired area. The types of concrete cutting methods are explained below.
Using a foam cutter to cut concrete
One of the common methods of cutting concrete is using a cutter or foam cutter. This device is divided into three categories: diesel, electric and hydraulic. In the structure of the skimmer, there are diamond discs that can create grooves in the concrete body. In concrete cuts that require high precision, you can use a foaming machine. Removing damaged parts of concrete on the street floor, creating facilities and making deep holes are among the applications of the cutter. Cutting concrete with this method will not cost much.
Cutting concrete with the grinding method
If you need to cut reinforced concrete, you should use the coring method, which is another name for concrete grinding. Grinding machines have a very high power in cutting concretes, and with their help, concretes that have rebar in their structure can be easily cut. One of the good features of the corer device is that it can be used to penetrate to the required depth. Sometimes it is necessary to add and plant rebars in the concrete structure. To plant rebar, holes must be created in the concrete structure, which are created with the help of a sandblaster. The advantages of this method include high quality work and high speed, the possibility of creating a hole with the desired diameter and preventing damage to other parts of the concrete.
Cutting concrete with diamond wire
In some projects, a large area of concrete needs to be cut as quickly as possible. In this situation, the use of diamond wire can be the answer. The high strength of the diamond wire helps to cut concrete in a short time and easily. To cut with a diamond wire, it is necessary to first make holes in the concrete body with a reamer, and then the diamond wire passes through these holes and performs the cutting work. The advantages of cutting with diamond wire include the possibility of cutting in all directions, low cost, high speed and high quality, as well as the possibility of cutting concrete in different shapes.
Wall breaker for cutting concrete
Cutting concrete with a wall is highly accurate and creates a smooth surface. In this method, the wall machine, which is usually hydraulic, is placed on a vertical surface like a wall and performs the cutting. For cutting concrete whose back surface is not free and deep cuts are not required, the wall cutter is used. The depth of cuts that can be made with this method is between 45 and 60 cm. If deep cuts are needed, the cut should be done in several steps to reach the desired depth.
Concrete collapse with a splitter
Splitter device is a very powerful device that can destroy concrete by applying a lot of force. To work with this device, first, it is necessary to create a 50 cm hole inside the concrete and then set the balls related to the device jack correctly. When the machine is turned on, a huge force is applied to the concrete and it breaks. This device can be used to destroy concrete and stones in deep water. One of the advantages of this method is the possibility of using it in all angles.
