Case Study
Diamond Wire Cutting for Concrete Surgeons, Egypt

Industry
Overview
Concrete Surgeons provide qualified engineers to give technical assistance and solutions during site execution. They are specialised in Concrete and Steel structures, and have finished many successful projects in this field across Egypt and the UAE.
The Challenge
Concrete Surgeons were working on a 12 week building renovation project in Egypt as a specialist Diamond Wire Sawing contractors. The project included: Cutting up to 60 square meters of reinforced concrete stanchions 5 metres apart. The Wire Saw being used was a Hilti WS30 running at 22m per second.
To saw cut and remove the existing concrete foundations. The project called for a wet diamond wire saw solution that would reduce the amount of time it took to cut the foundations down, but with low vibration, dust and noise due to the surrounding populated homes. We used the 20 meter to cut 20 square meter
The Solution
Diaquip needed to provide a fast, long-lasting and cost effective Diamond Wire. It was essential that the wire performed well on reinforced concrete (including 20mm steel rebar). The Diaquip DQ5 diamond wire was chosen for the project as it is constructed using a totally new method, called Fusion Tech which gives DQ5 much better speed and life advantages. Can be used effectively on virtually all concrete types including highly reinforced concrete or concrete with exposed steel.
The Result
DQ5 Diamond wire can cut quickly, even when using lower wire sawing machine speeds. This wire has been developed using ‘Fusion Technology’ innovation, which has proved to be a game changer in the diamond wire sawing industry standards. Concrete Surgeons received very positive feedback from its wire saw operators, Diaquip’s DQ5 diamond wire helped to reduce the wire sawing project time down both with excellent life and speed of the wire.
