Structural cutting in prestressed and reinforced elements
Bridge and structural cutting is where wire sawing is often the only method that works: prestressed and heavily reinforced sections, deep beams, and areas where controlled cutting is essential and vibration is not acceptable.
Wire sawing handles thick sections, deep cuts and areas a blade cannot reach. For structural elements the controlled, low-vibration cut is often the reason for choosing it, beyond simply reaching the section.
Prestressing strand and dense reinforcement need the aggressive bond and optimized diamond concentration that heavy reinforcement demands. We establish the reinforcement schedule before specifying the wire.
We cut bridge structures in Sweden — see the related case for the actual equipment and working conditions.
Our wire sawing also covers plant decommissioning — including a 4 m diameter steel furnace body at Baosteel, cut with vacuum-brazed wire.
Values we can state from real applications, with the basis for each one.

One row per attribute. A cell reading “Not stated” has no verified figure behind it — we confirm it against your job rather than assume a value. Machine dimensions, weight, wire speed and rail configuration are available on request.
Every specification above is confirmed against your material, machine and site conditions before an order is placed.
We specify against the job rather than the catalog. These are the facts that decide the answer for anything in Diamond Wire.
This product is specified as part of a set. These are the wire families and product groups it is normally combined with — final selection depends on the material, the machine and the site conditions.
Actual applications with the equipment, tooling and working conditions recorded.
Clean, precise structural cuts through reinforced concrete spans, with the structure released for the next phase of works.
Cold, precise and safe dismantling of a 4-meter-diameter steel furnace, meeting the plant's safety and shutdown requirements without any thermal cutti
The reinforced concrete block was cut cleanly, and the run was documented on video as the reference demonstration for concrete wire selection.
How this equipment and tooling performs in real quarry and construction conditions.
Send the material, the machine and the working conditions. We will come back with a specification that suits the job — and say plainly where a limit exists.
