Handheld sawing techniques are generally used for smaller jobs where it is faster and more cost effective than using other cutting methods. The hand saw can be used to cut on walls or floors and can cut up to 10” deep. They are highly portable and can access small, tight areas where cutting is needed. Typical applications include HVAC openings in brick and cinder block,...

Core Drilling techniques are used when a precise circular penetration is needed. Holes up to 60” in diameter can be drilled to virtually any depth. Coring can be done in slabs and walls, on any angle. This system is dust free and has relatively low noise output. Electric or hydraulic drilling rigs can be utilized for drilling in sensitive locations or confined...

A wire saw is a machine using a metal wire or cable for cutting. There are two types of wire saw machines: continuous (or endless or loop) and oscillating (or reciprocating). Sometimes the wire itself is referred to as a “blade”. The wire can have one strand or many strands braided together. The wire saw uses abrasion to cut. Depending on the application,...

The purpose of spall repair is to repair deteriorated concrete, repair damaged reinforcing steel, and replace the lost concrete section.Spalls are typically caused by rusting rebar that expands as it rusts and ruptures chunks of concrete off of buildings. This is a big problem in Hawaii where the air is saturated with moisture and corrosive salt. Concrete is only water...

Post tensioning is a technique for reinforcing concrete. Post-tensioning tendons, which are prestressing steel cables inside plastic ducts or sleeves, are positioned in the forms before the concrete is placed. Afterwards, once the concrete has gained strength but before the service loads are applied, the cables are pulled tight, or tensioned, and anchored against the...

An expansion joint is an assembly designed to safely absorb the heat-induced expansion and contraction of various construction materials, to absorb vibration, to hold certain parts together, or to allow movement due to ground settlement or earthquakes. They are commonly found between sections of sidewalks, bridges,railway tracks, piping systems, ships, and other...

Epoxy toppings are used when a very tough, abrasion and chemical resistant surface is required. Examples would be warehouse floors and restaurants. Elastomerics are synthetic rubber coatings used mainly for deck coatings where protection from moisture intrusion is paramount. Elastomerics are also used for underground wall waterproofing. Acrylics are used for very...

A very thin epoxy resin is shot into concrete cracks. The resin is much stronger than the original concrete. Because it is so thin and injected under pressure the resin can penetrate to the full depth of a crack and weld concrete like you would weld steel. It is also very effective in stopping leaks through concrete cracks. Slab on grade cracks can be typically injected...
