DP Diamond Drilling partnered with Downing Construction in Manchester city centre to create a precise opening for a new lift shaft. This project demanded accuracy, efficiency and minimal disruption within the busy city centre environment.
Our team began by carefully surveying the area and marking the exact cutting lines for the lift shaft doorway.
To ensure the cleanest and most precise cuts, we used a track saw equipped with a diamond blade. This specialised saw, also known as a plunge saw or rail saw, is guided by a rigid track securely mounted to the wall. This system guarantees straight cuts, which is essential when altering structural elements, especially in a high-rise building.
The diamond blade was chosen for its ability to cut through reinforced concrete with precision and reduced vibration. This is essential in a city centre location where noise and disruption need to be kept to a minimum.
Our skilled operators used the track saw to execute the cuts along the marked lines. The track system and the controlled nature of the diamond saw ensured a smooth, precise cut with minimal dust and debris.
This method offered several key advantages for Downing Construction. The track saw system delivered exceptionally straight and accurate cuts, resulting in a perfectly sized opening for the lift shaft.
Diamond cutting is a fast and effective method for altering structural openings, which reduces both project time and labour costs. This technique also minimised disruption, as diamond cutting produces less noise, vibration, and dust compared to traditional methods, making it ideal for occupied buildings and busy city centre environments.
The versatility of track saws equipped with diamond blades allowed for cutting through a wide range of materials, including the reinforced concrete found in this project.
