DISCIPLINES

Wall Sawing

The goal of this exercise is to saw a slice off a reinforced concrete block as quickly as possible. The cut has to be performed in at least two passes. An optimal performance will depend on one hand on the ideal cutting depth of the first and second pass. On the other hand, the feeling of the athlete for machine, tool and concrete will be decisive.

Core Drilling

In this exercise the athletes have to drill a hole in a reinforced concrete block. With the start signal, the drill rig has to be mounted and motor plus core drill have to be fixed before the drilling can begin. The installation of the drilling system requires skill and experience. A fast drilling time will depend on applying the right pressure on the core drill.

Hand Sawing

A disc has to be cut off from a concrete tube. Power and know-how of the athlete in dealing with the one-handed angle grinder are essential for this task.
