Wire sawing techniques...
...are used for jobs where traditional concrete saws are not feasible. Wire sawing uses a series of pulleys to pull a diamond encrusted wire rope through the material to be cut. Concrete, steel, stainless steel, and virtually any material can be cut with a diamond wire. The wire sawing method allows for cutting concrete columns, piers, foundations, and beams with little clearance around the perimeter to be cut.
