Delicate dismantling

摘要

When Extreme Concrete Cutting won the contract to demolish an improperly built wastewater treatment plant in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, the company chose a Husqvarna WS 463 wall saw as the main tool for the dismantling operation. The building measured 25 m × 30 m, with 4 m walls, and the company chose to cut and dismantle it as the safest and quickest option. "The WS 463 is easy to assemble and operate, and it has an impressive speed. Once I had mastered the saw, I could saw two cuts in the same amount of time that it took a competitor's saw to make one cut," said Wade Erasmus, operations manager at Extreme Concrete Cutting.
