Wire sawing is a concrete cutting method that uses a high-tensile steel wire embedded with diamond beads, continuously looped through a series of pulleys around the structure being cut. As the wire runs, the diamond segments grind through the concrete — including deep, heavily reinforced sections that would be too thick, too dense, or too awkwardly shaped for a standard wall saw or slab saw to handle.
Because the cutting action comes from a continuously moving wire rather than a spinning blade under pressure, wire sawing produces almost no vibration and very little dust, which means it can be used close to sensitive structures without risking cracks or damage beyond the cut line. It can also be configured around corners, through irregular shapes, and in confined or hard-to-reach spaces — something a rigid blade simply cannot do.
Typical cutting depth: wire sawing is generally used for concrete sections above 500mm thick — foundations, thick columns, crane bases, bridge sections, and similar heavy structural elements.
