Electric Floor Sawing

WHAT IS ELECTRIC FLOOR SAWING?

Electric floor sawing is an operation that is usually performed using fully or semi-automatic machines with rubber wheels, and is preferred for cutting elevator shafts, staircases, and floorings. This method is used for cutting concrete and asphalt floors. The operation is carried out using three different types of machines, namely electric, diesel, and gasoline. Diesel and gasoline machines do not require electricity, so they can be used in almost any region. Additionally, there is no risk of electric cables getting tangled around your feet or encountering problems such as power outages during the operation.

HOW TO DO?

The selection of the appropriate method based on the characteristics of the concrete to be cut is crucial, as each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes, only one method is suitable for cutting a particular type of concrete. By choosing the right method, the time and costs required for the operation can be minimized.

Cutting concrete floors is generally done using the joint cutting or hydraulic cutting method. With a hydraulic concrete cutting machine, concrete floors can be cut up to 60 cm deep. For concrete walls with greater depth, the cutting process is carried out using the diamond drilling or wire sawing method.

For cutting concrete walls, hydraulic cutting machines are generally used if the surface area to be cut is large. In hydraulic concrete cutting, the cutting head moves on a rail and this rail needs to be mounted parallel to the surface to be cut, which may require additional equipment such as a crane or platform in high areas. Although the preparation time for hydraulic concrete cutting may seem a bit longer than other cutting methods, the actual concrete cutting process can be faster since it does not require any intervention during the cutting process.
