In January 2025, a construction firm in Victoria, Seychelles faced a major challenge: the precise removal of reinforced concrete slabs on an aging coastal bridge without damaging the surrounding structure. Their project manager, Alrick, reached out to YG Machinery for a customized wire cut concrete solution. After discussing the technical challenges—dense rebar, remote location, and the need for underwater cutting—we recommended our hydraulic wire saw system. Just three weeks after delivery, Alrick reported excellent performance and smooth cutting results, calling it “the cleanest and safest cutting experience they’ve ever had.”
Wire cut concrete, known for its precision and low vibration, has become the go-to technique for complex cutting tasks in concrete renovation and bridge maintenance. It is ideal for high-strength reinforced concrete structures and works flawlessly even underwater. By integrating diamond wire technology, it delivers a smooth cut with minimal structural impact—an essential advantage for projects in coastal and urban environments like Seychelles.

Growing Demand for Wire Cut Concrete in Seychelles
As infrastructure in Seychelles continues to modernize, many older concrete structures require demolition or retrofitting without affecting surrounding buildings or marine ecosystems. Traditional cutting methods caused vibration damage and created too much dust—major concerns near protected coastlines and coral reef areas.
Alrick’s team was dealing with an aging bridge deck reinforced with dense steel bars. Conventional cutting machines failed to deliver clean results. Moreover, the project demanded cutting in submerged conditions—something most machines can’t handle. This is where the wire cut concrete solution stood out.
How YG’s Solution Solved the Client’s Problem
The customer needed high-precision cuts without disturbing the bridge’s foundation or surrounding water systems. With the wire saw for concrete from YG Machinery, they were able to:
- Perform underwater cutting up to 50 meters deep.
- Make precise incisions around rebar without spark or dust.
- Complete the job 30% faster than expected.
- Reduce labor costs by 25%, as the machine only required two operators.
The client also noted that the machine maintained consistent performance under harsh environmental conditions, something they had struggled with when using a metal cutting wire saw imported from Europe the previous year.
Advantages of Using Wire Cut Concrete Method
The method is widely adopted for cutting reinforced concrete in bridges, piers, tunnels, and underwater structures. Its key advantages include:
- Minimal vibration and noise, which is essential for sensitive structures.
- Unlimited cutting depth, ideal for large-scale infrastructure.
- Efficient rebar penetration, without the need for manual dismantling.
- Underwater compatibility, especially valuable for island nations like Seychelles.
- Safer working conditions, reducing risks of cracking or collapse during demolition.
This technology not only meets environmental regulations but also boosts project efficiency and safety.
