An Opening Designed Around Your Home’s Structure

Creating an opening in a load-bearing wall involves more than simply demolishing or cutting away part of the wall. Its structural function must first be identified, the necessary safety precautions determined and, depending on the project, structural reinforcement may be required.

TES TECHNIFOR combines expertise in:

• diamond sawing and core drilling;

• cutting through walls and concrete slabs;

• temporary works, shoring and structural support;

• installing structural reinforcement where required.

When the project involves a load-bearing element, the appropriate measures are determined before cutting begins. Depending on the building and the proposed opening, a structural assessment may be required.

Precise Work with Controlled Disruption

Our diamond-cutting techniques allow us to carry out work:

• accurately and to the required dimensions;

• without impact and with very little vibration;

• with appropriate protection around the work area;

• with the collection of cutting water;

• while limiting dust and damage around the opening.

Before work begins, access and the work area must be cleared. Our teams then install all the necessary protective measures.
