One of our long time customers has a job removing the surface for an MDC ice rink in Boston MA. They are cutting through about 5 inches of concrete that has the piping underneath that is needed to keep the ice in skating conditions. So think of this application as concrete with rebar on steroids.
The saw is 65 horse power, so having a high quality diamond blade is a top priority. In this case, he is using a Bone Crusher 14″ x .120 with 13mm segments specifically bonded for high speed cutting. The piping is stacked every 6 inches or so. The bond on the blade needs to be super soft to allow it not only slice through the concrete, but also get through the pipes effectively and without binding.
This is a difficult application. Experience and high quality products are essential for getting this job done safely and on time.
