Abstract:
Since revitalizing the stone industry, the diamond wire cutting system has gained widespread interest in the construction industry. The unique alternatives offered by this system eliminate many of the negative aspects of conventional concrete removal: dust, noise, and vibration. With new developments in the industry, diamond wire cutting could revolutionize various segments of the demolition and construction markets and provide for the reuse of many structures.
