But need to make a hole in an old bank vault from the 80s. The wall is 500 mm thick with 3 layers of 12 mm reinforcement.
The hole should be 2100 x 1200. Looking at renting a wall saw with a 1200mm blade, estimating 5-7 days of work if we are 2 people. The volume is 1.26 cbm and the weight is about 3.1 tons per hole. Could move it with an excavator once we've cut, but of course, it's easier to cut it down into smaller pieces. Have no experience with this before, but does anyone have any ideas?
Or maybe some other way to make the hole, but they should look quite nice, of course, one can plaster afterwards if it's jagged.
Sorry, don't have ä, å, and ö on the computer.
PS, something with dynamite or blasting won't work as it's located inside an existing building..
I would request a quote from a core drilling company, I don't think it's something you should attempt if you don't know what you're doing...
After receiving quick and relatively cheap help from such a company for the garage floor (20cm), I learned two things. 1. It's nice to get help 2. I would never in my life hold a machine with a blade that is 60cm in diameter, especially not if it's to be mounted on the wall... hell if it starts moving.
I have, unbelievably, done pretty much the same thing. We converted an old bank vault into a toilet. We had help from someone who worked with drilling. What we did was use a fixed machine with a core drill. We made several smaller holes around "boulders" that we then removed manually. It cost a fair bit for the drilling company, a completely ruined sack truck that buckled, and some dignity.
Even I, who work at a demolition and cutting company, would get help with that. I've been involved several times with wall sawing and know the basics of how a wall saw works and is mounted. It's not just a matter of starting and going, especially not in a bank vault wall that's so thick with so much reinforcement. Operating a floor saw in a regular floor slab or foundation is easier to do yourself, but setting up and handling a wall saw, I would hardly recommend anyone who's never done it before to do.

What do you have in it?
Diamond drill or diamond cut.
1 man 3-3 hours! Have a fire extinguisher or hose nearby in case a fire should start.
