Typically, a ring saw can cut deeper than a hand saw which allows for cuts to be made in thicker panels and slabs.
This piece of equipment can also be used to cut through thick concrete pipes.
Client required a 600mm x 600mm opening 330mm deep.
To achieve this, stitch drilling was required.

I have used Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers since their inception and firmly believe in the old adage “If it aint broken, Don’t fix it.”
Raewyn and her team have always been only too keen to meet my late requests for cutting/drilling, and also offer advice on how to solve some tricky situations. There have been many cutting and drilling companies approach me for work, but I struggle to see how they could improve on the service I am already getting.

SiteSafe have recently announced their rebranding.
Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers Ltd has been a proud member of SiteSafe for many years and ensures that all staff have a Building and Construction Passport at the very minimum.
Additionally, Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers Ltd engages SiteSafe in order to have its operators appropriately trained for working at heights and in confined spaces.
Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers Ltd was engaged by Hawkins to drill holes to facilitate the installation of bollards and LED lighting that is mentioned as a feature of the new Nelson Street Cycleway.
This article appeared in New Zealand Construction News.
The off-ramp is being transformed into a shared path as part of the Nelson Street Cycleway, one of a network of cycleways being delivered in partnership by the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA), Auckland Council and Auckland Transport.
It will connect to Upper Queen Street by a new bridge off Canada Street – the last piece of which was lifted into place in mid-October – and will continue to Nelson Street where a separated cycleway is being built.
The design was developed following an online survey in June when Aucklanders called for it to be ‘modern’ and ‘distinctly New Zealand’. It includes LED lights lining the safety barriers that can interact and pulse as people pass them, as well as a strong magenta surface colour that will fade out at the northern end in a Maori design.
Political urban design champion councilor Chris Darby says: “This project shines a light on walking and cycling and offers an inspiring new way through a previously impenetrable spaghetti junction. It offers a seamless walk-across-the-rooftops connection into the city centre, with sweeping views of the city and harbour. The innovative design catches the eye and captures the imagination, heralding the future of transport across Auckland.”
The concept has been created by Monk Mackenzie architects and LandLAB, in association with artist Katz Maihi. Maori patterns and narrative form a core part of the designs, following discussions with iwi.
The path includes etched carvings at intervals along the length, with a 6 m pou at the entrance. The colour represents the heartwood of a freshly cut totara, with the red and pink shades strengthened to contrast with the surrounding motorway lanes.
Brett Gliddon, the NZTA’s Auckland and Northland highway manager, says: “It’s great to see the beginning of our urban cycling future here in Auckland with a wonderful facility like this. It’s helping to make cycling a safer and more attractive transport choice as well as leading the way in world-class cycling infrastructure.”
The off-ramp was closed a decade ago, and transforming it – as highlighted in the council’s city centre masterplan – has received strong support. Barbara Cuthbert, Cycle Action Auckland chair, says: “This cycleway will be the highlight of all the new projects we’ve seen in the city so far. It’ll be a beacon attracting people to walk, cycle and delight in the views – a new landmark for Auckland.”

Holes were required for the insertion of bollards in Wynyard Quarter.
Bollards are one feature of an approach to design known as streetscaping.
Our operator was required to drill through pavement, base course, and concrete to a depth of 320mm.
Raewyn Sharp, Director of Sharp Concrete Cutters and Drillers Ltd was recently invited by Davenports Harbour Lawyers to the 2015 World Cup Rugby Warm-Up Luncheon held at North Harbour Stadium on Friday 28th August.
