TRUCO® DOES IT AGAIN!
Makes history by sawing 11½" thick, 5000 lb. test concrete reinforced with 2 layers of ½" rods on 8" centers. Big slab sawed out in 32 hrs.
PROJECT: Wind tunnel at government research base. CONTRACTOR: Nash Drilling Co., Ltd., Montreal, P.Q. EQUIPMENT: Truco 18 H.P. Economy Concrete Saw; Truco Tru-Bond Diamond Blade 26 dia. thick. JOB: Cut an inspection opening 10'0" x 5'0" in 5000 lb. test concrete reinforced with 2 layers of reinforcing rods 14 dia., placed on 8" centers. Slab was marked off in two 5' x 5' sections, and 3 holes drilled in the four corners of each section to receive fastenings for cables to support slabs. Four cuts released the first slab for removal. Three more cuts released the second slab. The 26 dia. Truco Diamond Saw made a 1014" cut and the remaining concrete on the wavy underside (about 1") easily broke away when the slab was lifted. Actual cutting time was only 314 hours and the entire job was easily done in one day. Savings are so great Truco Diamond Drilling and Sawing Equipment may pay for itself on a single job or in a single day. Send for new Truco catalog.
