Wall saws are utilized to make precise cuts in vertical or horizontal surfaces. A-Core commonly uses this controlled demolition method to cut access ways for staircases and elevators, crossovers for mechanical services and cabling, flow deflectors on dams, tanks, towers, and pipes, and to enlarge openings for windows and doors. Contrary to conventional demolition methods, wall sawing leaves surfaces with a smooth finish making openings readily fit for window and door installation.Regardless of the angle or strict constraints, our wall saws can penetrate surfaces from 1'' to 37'' thick.

Utah State Capitol
A-Core was contracted to assist in retrofitting the Utah State Capitol building for a seismic upgrade. A-Core was commissioned to saw cut off the 36” diameter columns from around the top of the dome of the Utah State Capital building so that they could install new lighter weight columns. We were also contracted to wire-saw all of the slots for all new isolators to be installed. This meant cutting off the entire building from its foundation so that it could rest entirely on all the newly installed isolators.
As part of this massive retrofit, A-Core crews drilled tens of thousands of holes and saw cut openings to meet all of the electrical, mechanical, plumbing requirements. We drilled holes from 1½” diameter to 36” diameter and up to 60’ deep for numerous applications. Saw cuts were carried out by wall sawing concrete up to 36” thick and wire-sawing concrete up to 30’ thick. We commissioned from one to over 15 sawing and drilling operator/technicians daily throughout the entire 3 years of this project.
It was truly a privilege to be part of this historic project.

To ensure that individuals can move on and off a sidewalk without difficulty curb cuts must be performed. Curb cuts can be created by using specialized machines that cut at precise angles along the curb. The main purpose of these machines is to cut horizontally along curbs to create ramps and driveway approaches. Our curb sawing equipment cuts precise for a smooth finished look. It is the ideal technique for curb or parapet wall removal when roads and bridges require widening or demolition. Curbs saws can cut walls flush to the road surface eliminating the need for curb excavation.

Hebgan Dam
A-Core of Idaho was contracted to perform specialized wire sawing methods. On the remote location of Hebgan Lake, we cut off large concrete masses from underwater piers. We wire sawed 7 vertical cuts and 4 horizontal cuts through an underwater retaining wall 3 feet thick. Work was performed from a floating barge. A-Core teamed up with support divers to drill holes for the cable and picking holes. Our crew pulled all of the cuts from on top of the barge. The entire project was completed in 8 days.
