Wall SawingAgain before starting any wall sawing project, one should make sure utilities don't come into play.
Job walk both sides of the wall to be cut. Make sure there are not pipes or conduits attached to the wall to be cut. If there are any, remove those utilities from the wall. Consider which way the wall is to be dropped berfore any cuts are made. Shore up the wall after the second cut is make to make sure the wall is stable and wont move before the third and forth cut is made. Wear all of the proper safety equipment . Use water to cool the wall saw blades and control the dust.
Considerations should be made when performing concrete cutting. Safety should always come to mind. Before any type of concrete cutting, coring drilling, wall sawing or demolition should commence, one must consider all safety aspects of the job. I will try to list a few of the most common, however, there may be more because each job condition can be much different. This is for informational purposes and we recommend you hire a licensed Concrete Cutting,Coring,Demolition Professional
Concrete Cutting & Core Drilling
first, I like to walk the job area and surrounding locations where work is to be performed. I look for utilities lines that may come into play . look for previous trenches that have been saw cut, this may be a sign that someone else has put some kind of utility in that location. You need to work carefully around any of these utilities or re-rout the work away from the existing utilities. Were protective clothing, such as : eye protection, long pants, heavy duty wet boots,gloves,dust mask, hard hat, florecent vest.
Before core drilling through floors,walls, decks, again try to determined if any conduits are in the areas to be core drilled.
Dust is a part of any type of core drilling, concrete cutting , asphalt cutting, wall sawing, concrete breaking and should be a consideration before performing work. One of the most common forms of dust collection is the use of water incorporated in the concrete cutting process. Water is sprayed onto the concrete cutting blade or core drilling bits and the dust is collected in the cooling water. The slurry water is then vacuumed up and disposed of properly.
Concrete Breaking and Removal
Before any concrete breaking should start, one should job walk the area for ground utilities and over head utilities. Make sure you have plenty of room for loader machines.Visibility is poor in these machines, especially backing up. Devise a plan so bobcat loader machines has plenty of room overhead free from any utility power lines. While operating skid steer loader machines keep people and vehicles away from bobcat skid steer loader machines while breaking out concrete or while loading concrete is taking place. Have a spotter placed in front of the demolition to look for utilities in the slab or underneath slabs . Wear all safety equipment such as: safety glasses, work boots, gloves, Long pants, safety vest, hard hat. If you like, you may read more @ www.concretecuttinganddemo.net
