Chasing

Method used where conduits and pipework are required in walls, floors, ceilings and concrete structures. Using latest hand held machinery with little or no dust when fitted with a dust extraction unit.

Chasing is often associated with Mechanical & Electrical trades where chases for conduits and pipework are required in a wall, floor, or ceiling of masonry or concrete structures.

We carry out chasing using hand held equipment with a blade attached. Two slots are cut at a predetermined depth and then the centre of the channel is removed using a lightweight hand held breaker.

By attaching vacuum equipment, dust is controlled and contained before it reaches sensitive areas or other trade people working adjacently.

Floor chasing is often done using electric or petrol driven floor saws that are more compatible with this type of application. The extra power that the saws generate makes the cutting of larger volumes of work easier, especially when dealing with hard material like concrete. Once cut, the material in-between can be removed using percussive or less disruptive methods.
