UK construction: Why wire sawing continues to be in demand despite uncertainty in the economy.
The UK is not alone in this current environment of economic uncertainty. Fuelled by many factors, including Brexit, Covid-19, climate change pressure, as well as the war in the Ukraine, the construction industry is one of many UK sectors facing reticence to invest in major projects. However, at National Drilling Services we are still experiencing demand for our drilling and cutting services. Wire sawing is one of our services which has been requested repeatedly in recent months for repair, maintenance and refurbishment projects across the UK.
Wire sawing for redevelopment sites
Whilst some investments and new construction sites are still going ahead, others are looking at how to minimise carbon footprint and spending, but still update or expand existing structures and buildings. Wire sawing is a technique which is ideal for redevelopment sites where access maybe restricted. This method is used frequently by the skilled operatives at National Drilling Services particularly on projects where existing structures are being used to create a repurposed building. Wire sawing is very accurate and fast at cutting through strong materials. This is especially important on such projects where only some elements of reinforced concrete need to be removed or cut and specific depth of cut with very narrow margins of error is key.
Wire sawing for strength and finish
Where clean smooth edges are required, as newly cut materials are used to define a new structure, wire sawing is ideal. However, it is not just the aesthetics that is maintained by using wire sawing. By using wire sawing to cut through reinforced concrete, we can be sure not to damage the remaining structure, so your project management will be confident in using the existing structure at the heart of their redevelopment project.
Wire sawing is ideal for project managers and operatives alike
It is not just the project managers and architects who benefit from using the wire sawing method of cutting on their redevelopment projects. Our operatives at National Drilling Services also like to use wire sawing. There are a number of reasons for this. Apart from our operatives taking pride in accuracy, speed and efficiency of their work, there are also safety benefits for using wire sawing as opposed to other traditional cutting methods. Our wire sawing machines at National Drilling Services are operated remotely, which reduces risks to the operator. There are also no fumes which is ideal for using in confined spaces and only low levels of noise.
