Floor & Road Sawing
Chiplime offer a full range of floor sawing options for deep road sawing through asphalt or concrete, crack inducers, expansion joints or cutting channels through floor slabs, cutting up to 650mm deep. The advantages are it can remove damaged concrete sections, remove complete floors for demolition and its clean cut therefore minimal making good.
Track Sawing
Track sawing is a process used to form openings in reinforced concrete walls and floors without the need to drill a series of interlocking holes i.e. stitch drilling. The track is mounted on a toothed aluminium rail which is secured to the concrete by rawbolts. The saw unit is secured to track by runners and a cog wheel engages the rail to move backwards and forwards along the track.
Selective/Controlled Demolition
Chiplime carry out selective demolition and alteration works for major and minor refurbishment contracts.
Controlled demolition is a process by means of drilling a series of holes through concrete or masonry. Then by inserting a hydraulic/electrically powered unit into each hole cracks the material without vibration or extreme noise enabling sections to be removed easily.
