Professional spreading wedges for wire saws and heavy concrete work

Prevent your diamond wire from getting trapped on complex sawing projects. For walls thicker than 80 cm, bridge piers or foundations, a high-quality spreading wedge is indispensable to keep the cut open and control the enormous pressure of the concrete mass.

In specialized cable cutting in tight spaces, there is no room for error. When cutting through a solid concrete block, its own weight causes the cut to close. Therefore, our spreading wedges are specifically selected to withstand these forces. In addition, they thereby guarantee the continuity of your diamond wire, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Prevent risks and save costs with Euronique

Why the spread wedge is crucial in infra and demolition work

Cable saws are used where standard wall saws stop. Especially with these extreme thicknesses, the pressure on the cut is enormous. Our spreading wedges offer the solution at:

  • Bridge Piers & Foundations: When cutting through foundation elements, the spreader wedge provides the necessary “breathing room” so that the diamond wire does not become trapped under the weight of the structure above.

  • Quay Walls & Pedestals: In damp or heavy industrial environments, a steel spreading wedge is essential for controlled separation of concrete surfaces.

  • Working in tight spaces: In elevator shafts, for example, where vibration-free work is required, the spreading wedge offers a safe and compact way to fix the saw cut without heavy equipment.

How to prevent cable saw jamming?

Successful cutting of concrete thicker than 80 cm requires a precise technique. The biggest risk is the “settlement” of the concrete. Once the tension drops, the weight compresses the opening.  

To prevent this stoppage, the professional should place spreading wedges at strategic points. Although professional wire saws are powerful, they require free running of the wire. However, thanks to the mechanical resistance of our steel slotted wedges , the cut is guaranteed to remain open.

Benefits of the Euronique spreading wedge for the concrete driller

In the concrete drilling and sawing industry, downtime due to broken equipment is the biggest cost. A diamond wire jammed in a wall 100 cm thick results in hours of delay.

  • Free running of the diamond wire: By striking the spreading wedge into the cut in a timely manner, the wire remains free running and maintains its cutting speed.

  • Extreme pressure resistance: Our spreader wedges are made of solid steel that does not deform, crucial when cutting objects heavier than 10 tons.

  • Safety in vibration-free cutting: The clean taper (taper) ensures maximum spreading force at minimum insertion depth, which is essential for precision work in elevator shafts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why are steel spreading wedges better than wooden wedges when cutting concrete?

First, steel wedges offer much higher stability and pressure resistance. This is because, unlike wood, steel is not susceptible to moisture, shrinkage or the so-called “creep” under extreme pressure. Therefore, a steel wedge guarantees constant and reliable relief of your saw cable. In addition, our wedges are ground at a precise, safe angle, so they do not slip out of the cut even under the heaviest load.

Since we understand that downtime on a project site is costly, we have very short delivery times. If you order today, in most cases the products will be delivered the very next business day. It is also possible to pick up your order directly from our workshop, so you can get on with your sawing work immediately.

Although the choice depends on the depth of cut, for walls thicker than 80 cm, we usually recommend our larger steel slotted wedges (from 200 mm in length). Because these engage deeper into the cut, they offer a more stable spread. You can also contact us for customization, so you will always have the right size splitting wedge for each specific infra project.

Yes, this is certainly possible. Our spreader wedges are made of high-quality industrial steel, which makes them resistant to repeated hammer blows and extreme pressure. Although the wedges may show signs of use over time, they retain their shape retention. In short, they are a durable investment for any concrete drilling company that regularly deals with heavy cable cutting work.
