CASE STUDY: Railway Viaduct Railway Viaduct Refurbishment ( left ) Remedial work is required to reinforce the foundations of this Victorian Railway Viaduct. Our Diamond Wire Sawing teams are tasked with creating openings through 15 of the sandstone and masonry pier bases, to enable the Main Contractor to instal Steel UB Needle Structural Beams - 15 Piers require strengthening and each pier requires 10 Aperture Cuts.. CASE STUDY: Hydrodemolition & Wire Sawing ( top, right ) Our Hydrodemolition & Diamond Sawing Teams worked in tandem to cut, remove & refurbish a series of formidable concrete plinths in the well of a large factory complex. Our Hilti Diamond Wire Saws isolated the redundant pillars and sections. Our Aquajet Robots then removed surplus concrete from the floor areas and vertical sections of the remaining Plinths. This left the Re-Bars exposed, cleaned and prepared for the installation of new steel and concrete. Protecting the Environment Hydrodemolition is not only the most efficient method for protecting and preserving concrete, it’s also one of the safest, most environmentally friendly methods around. The Blast water produced was processed through our Siltbuster Decontamination Systems restoring the Ph-Balance and mitigating water pollution.
Case Study: Wire Sawing in a Major Sewage Complex (above ) This overhaul of a Major Sewer System in the heart of Glasgow necessitated the removal of 1.6 metre diameter, 25mm thick steel flumes. Being a vital component of Glasgow’s Sewage infrastructure, the Flumes were still live and flowing at 60% capacity with running effluent! Our remote operated HILTI Wire Saws Cut and Isolated the three steel work sections in the shortest possible time!
With a great team working to a strict coordinated plan, each isolation was completed in just over one hour.
