Industry
Overview
To support the operation, Mactech selected Diaquip diamond wire for use with its 30-inch diamond wire saw, providing the reliable cutting performance required for this high-volume reinforced concrete cutting application.
The Challenge
Removing reinforced concrete bridge piles required precision, consistency and reliability. All 106 piles had to be cut at the correct elevation in a near-water environment while maintaining productivity. Any unnecessary downtime could have affected the overall project schedule.
The Diaquip Solution
Diaquip supplied the diamond wire used by Mactech throughout the project. Selected for dependable cutting performance in reinforced concrete, the wire supported clean, controlled cutting while helping maintain productivity across all 106 bridge piles. Diaquip worked alongside Mactech to configure and supply a wire solution suited to the application’s requirements.
The Results
Using Mactech’s 30-inch diamond wire saw together with Diaquip diamond wire, the bridge pile removal project was completed successfully.
• Controlled removal of 106 reinforced concrete bridge piles
• Accurate cuts completed just above the mud line
• Consistent cutting performance throughout the project
• Reliable operation across a high-volume cutting application
• Efficient progress supporting the next phase of bridge construction
