Performing wire saw cutting through reinforced concrete to remove bascule pier in sections with up to 200ton lifts per section. This job required 8’’ diameter core drilling over 6’ in depth underwater in currents greater than 3 knots, using highly competent UMX divers. The core drilling was required to create lifting points for rigging and to place wire for saw cutting.
UMX provided the following services for this project:
Wire saw cutting below water line
Placement of pulleys to configure cuts to removed
Drilling and setting concrete anchors
Core drilling 3’’ to 8’’ diameter holes up to 6’ in depth
