Saw Cutting the Marked Area
The 14AWG locking antenna is installed in asphalt or
concrete in a saw cut one inch (1”) deep and one-
quarter inch (1/4”) wide. Saw cutting at this depth
minimizes the chances of running into drain or power
transmission lines already placed in the ground, as
they are required to be buried at a much lower depth.
Saw cuts can be done using either a wet or dry cut
technique.
Dry saw cutting leaves no wet residue and is therefore
easier to clean up. The downside to dry saw cutting is
that it requires the proper equipment to capture the
airborne dry asphalt particles. If you choose to dry cut,
make sure that all technicians are equipped with
proper breathing apparatus and protective gear.
Wet cutting does not require respiratory protection, but
requires more work to clean up. Also, residue from wet
cutting must NEVER be allowed to run into the storm
drain or public streets. Most cities will levy a heavy fine
for this infraction.
All saw-cuts on concrete should be in a cold seam,
where possible.
Removing Saw Cut Residue
After sawing, the cut needs to be cleaned out. If you have
chosen to wet cut, clean out the saw cut and surrounding
area using a wet-dry shop vacuum and a high-pressure
water sprayer. In order to minimize staining, make sure to
clean the areas before the saw cut residue dries.
If you have chosen to dry cut, clean the saw cut and
surrounding area using the specified power sweeper. Any
excess residues should be cleaned out using the
Gatekeeper Hook, or if a Hook is not available, you may use
a straight edge screwdriver.
