Temporary fixation of Diamond cutting and coring equipment

Introduction

Operator safety in controlled demolition of concrete structures by diamond sawing and coring is determined by the temporary fixations we use for fixing or equipment on the job sites.

This guideline is entirely focused on temporary fixation of diamond tools. It is not intended to be used for determination of anchor loads for lifting of concrete elements or other heavy loads.

Diamond applications in general require high pressing forces on the diamond tools to achieve meaningful cutting and coring performance.

Thus, the tensile forces on the anchors used to fix our equipment are high. The extent of these forces is determined by the application and the power of our equipment. Additionally, the geometry of our coring rigs and rail supports and the base material play an equally important role.

Anchoring handbooks usually give us good guidance when we look for permanent fixation of loads, they are to a lesser extent useful for temporary fixations as used by diamond cutting professionals. In this guideline, we have put our efforts in providing practical rules and examples to make your daily operations safer. We advise you to use it carefully, conditions vary from site to site considerably.
