Sawing and drilling techniques employing diamond tools have been proven very competitive in:

• Demolition (total or selective) of reinforced concrete buildings.
• Building renovation or remodeling.
• A variety of industrial applications.

Architects, mechanical engineers and constructors have found that the new cutting techniques employing diamond tools help them to cut down costs, raise productivity, and improve their quality of work in many renovation or remodeling programs.

In demolition works, sawing and drilling techniques based on diamond tools offer multiple advantages that make the difference between a successful result and a great disappointment.

Some of these advantages affecting project costs are the following:

• TIME - diamond tools can cut through reinforced concrete fast, meaning no time lost in the completion of the project.
• PRECISE CUTTING - cutting with diamond tools is precise and well controlled. As a result, little or no extra finishing work is required.
• STATIC STRENGTH - techniques of cutting with diamond tools do not practically cause any shock or vibration. This means that volumes of concrete may be removed from a building without affecting the static properties of the remaining construction
• LOW NOISE, DUST AND RUBBLE - these techniques generate relatively low noise and practically do not produce any dust (when wet cutting is applied). The pieces of reinforced concrete resulting from sawing may be cut down to dimensions that allow for convenient removal.
• ACCESS TO LIMITED SPACES - these techniques may be applied in small and hard to reach spaces, as well as in places where people or equipment are present.

The basic element of any cutting equipment using diamond tools is the industrial diamond. Diamond is the hardest known material and cannot be corroded. These properties make diamond tools suitable for cutting reinforced concrete.

Each diamond tool is designed and manufactured to provide optimum performance in specific cutting applications, considering the properties of the material to be cut as well as the specifications of the machine using the tool.

Modern diamond tools, as well as sawing and drilling equipment, are the outcome of efforts and testing lasting for over 30 years. The diamond tools and related . equipment give to a professional sawing and drilling constructor the means to finish each and every project on schedule, with minimal deviation from the cost budget.
