New scanning technology available soon!!

CanWest is upgrading all of our scanning equipment to the new industry standard in leading scanning technology.

Scanning is only as good as it dependable tools. In the past, older models made it near impossible to provide project managers with a same-day scanned report. The older models also left room for errors with a less advanced 3D imaging that made it hard for scan operators to locate and identify utilities. This created room for operator error in increasing the chances of cutting through utilities and causing a higher project total than expected.

Our new  advancing technology will have:

• One-Pass technology gives you the full picture. Easily locates and identifies objects.
• Wireless antennas allow the operator to succeed no matter the complications of the location of the jobsite.
• Field tested scanners that have been place on job sites in extreme heat, cold, dust, and water.

CanWest loves to lead the field in advancing technology and this is the NEW industry standard.

What our new scanners can do:

• The Scanners can quickly identify rebar, post tension cable, and metallic and non-metallic objects accurately, efficiently and safely. Majorly reduce the risk of hitting utilities in a flawless approach to cutting concrete.
• They can provide same day scan reports thanks to the instant 3D imaging feature.
• Easily scan areas in corners or tough to reach areas due to the compact design. Our new technology can easily change between cross polarization and side car scanning with the scanners’ new adjustable survey wheel.

Make sure to ask about our new scanning technology for your upcoming projects. This is the new industry standard in scanning and our team of experts can help you complete your project without any added difficulties. CanWest concrete also has some of the best scanning rates in the area!

Dry Core Drilling 

Dry core drilling excludes the use of a cooling agent while operating. This will slow down the drill and force it to operate at a lower rotation per minute while kicking up an excess amount of dust. This process is used in situations where water is not an option.

Wet Core Drilling

Wet core drilling utilizes water coolants to operate. The coolant prevents the core bit from overheating while allowing the core bit to operate at higher speeds. The coolant also helps to reduce any built-up pressure during the process decreasing the chances of unwanted fragments breaking off.

Advancing Technology in Dry Core drilling

CanWest Dry Core Drill System has a built-in vacuum that is able to pull the dust from the air while coring. This is great for areas that require clean air and where water is not allowed to be used, such as in an electrical utility room, hospital, or any enclosed space that water is not able to be used.

Should water be used while Core Drilling?

Using water is more cost effective. The water coolant allows the drill to rotate faster decreasing the time spent on coring holes. In many cases, wet coring will be preferred over dry coring. The use of water makes for a safer work environment. During the process of coring, a lot of dust and debris is turned into the air. The use of water prevents this and helps to contain the dust. This is why wet coring continues to be one of the easier cost-effective methods for most companies.

If you are coring near electrical components or areas that could be damaged by using a coolant, it is best to check your options and consult a professional to see if dry coring is your best route.
