    The document describes Taiheiyo's QUI CUTTER product, which is a chemical agent that can be attached to pile reinforcement cages to generate cracks and remove pile heads in a safe, low pollution method. QUI CUTTER allows for increased productivity by significantly reducing safety risks and effort during pile head removal. It performs by expanding through a hydration reaction to induce cracking at the desired cut-off level while maintaining pile integrity below. Instructions are provided on selecting the appropriate method, installing QUI CUTTER correctly, and removing the pile head in one or two stages depending on the pile size.

    QUI CUTTER
    INTRODUCTION
    Taiheiyo QUI CUTTER is a chemical agent which can be attached to pile
    reinforcement cage and generate cracks to remove pile head.

    QUI CUTTER
    • is a safe, fast, low noise and low vibration method of pile head removal
    • can be used for various pile types and sizes (generally between 450mm and
    3000mm) and can be applied to diaphragm walls
    • allows increased productivity on site with significant reduction in safety risk and
    effort
    • eliminates micro-cracking below design cut off level and maintains the integrity
    of piles.

    Attachment Cracking Removal

    Performance of QUI CUTTER


    1. QUI CUTTER expands by chemical
    (hydration) reaction when a
    substance in QUI CUTTER combines
    with water. As can be seen in the
    graph, QUI CUTTER is designed to
    commence expansion after the
    concrete of the pile gains the initial
    strength

    2. QUI CUTTER has a flat-oval shape


    to induce the crack in a single
    direction.
    3. QUI CUTTER can be easily
    attached to the reinforcement bars
    securely and accurately by using the
    metal fitting.

    STANDARD PROCEDURES
    Select method for pile head Consider the following when selecting the method
    cutting - Pile size and the trimming length
    - Type and size of vertical reinforcement bars
    - Available equipment on site for removal

    ・Consult with us or our distributor in your region.

    - Fasten QUI CUTTER to reinforcement bars using the correct metal


    Attachment of QUI CUTTER fitting.
    - Make sure QUI CUTTER is fixed firmly to the reinforcement bars at
    the right location.
    - Make sure all vertical reinforcement bars are covered by
    debonding foam and completely sealed at both ends (top and
    bottom).
    ・ Store QUI CUTTER in cool, dry and well ventilated area, away
    from moisture until the installation.

    ・Avoid any damage to QUI CUTTER when lifting the rebar cage.
    Insert rebar cage
    Using spreader-bar is highly recommended.
    ・If QUI CUTTER has no contact with water/fluids until concreting,
    then wet QUI CUTTER (no longer than 6 hours) before concreting

    ・ In case of QUI CUTTER


    submerged in groundwater/
    polymer fluids after the rebar
    cage is installed into the hole,
    then concrete needs to be placed
    within 6 Hours of QUI CUTTER
    Spreader bar
    contact with water/fluids.

    Cast concrete ・Tremie pipe to avoid any contact with QUI CUTTER during
    concreting works
    ・Maintain the correct concrete finish level.

    Excavation ・Avoid any damages of protruding reinforcement bars during the


    excavation works.

    Removal of pile head ・Carry out lift study and planning and follow local safety regulation
    ・Pushing the top concrete to horizontal direction prior to lifting
    will induce cracks and will be easier to lift.
    ・Chisel the finished surface if required.

    INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
    For “Large Cut Method” (horizontal cutting)

    Remove QUI CUTTER from the plastic bags and slide into the
    Metal Fittings.

    (Single)

    Metal Fitting
    for E
    (Double)

    Fix QUI CUTTER with Metal Fitting to reinforcement bars.


    The setting level for QUI CUTTER should be 100 - 150mm
    above the design cut-off level. Please refer to Page 9 for
    configuration of QUI CUTTER for each pile size.

    4
    INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
    For “Large Cut Method” (horizontal cutting)

    Use debonding foam to cover all vertical reinforcement bars


    up to the QUI CUTTER level. The debonding foam is to also
    cover any back of Metal Fitting present at the QUI CUTTER
    level as shown in the diagram. Both ends (top and bottom) of
    the debonding foam are to be completely sealed by tie wire.

    Use the 'fitting band' to fix QUI CUTTER at the center of Metal
    Fitting.

    LARGE CUT METHOD
    Large Cut Method is to generate APPLICATION
    cracks with QUI CUTTER horizontally
    and remove the pile head by lifting
    aid (crane or excavator). Re-bars

    DOUBLE LARGE CUT METHOD
    The Double Large Cut Method is APPLICATION
    to carry out horizontal cutting at
    two places and to remove the
    pile-head in two stages.
    This application method is Re-bars
    effective for bigger piles of which

    ・The recommended height of QUI CUTTER
    the pile-head is between NL or E

    Caution for Use
    (1)Do not use QUI CUTTER for purposes other than described in the brochure.
    (2)QUI CUTTER should be stored in a dry place and should be used as soon as
    possible after the carton box is opened.
    (3)The anti-moisture plastic cover sheet for QUI CUTTER should be removed from
    QUI CUTTER just before the QUI CUTTER is used.
    (4)Damaged QUI CUTTER should not be used.
    (5)If any content of QUI CUTTER gets into eye, rinse it off with clean water
    immediately and consult a doctor. If any content of QUI CUTTER comes
    in contact with skin, rinse it off with clean water to avoid skin irritation.
    The main component of QUI CUTTER is calcium oxide.
    (6)Do not break QUI CUTTER and do not put its content into any pipe or container
    such as glass or can which contains water or other liquid. Expansive stress
    caused by the reaction of the content and water or liquid will break the pipe or
    container and pieces of broken parts may scatter.
    (7) Use QUI CUTTER as soon as possible. If QUI CUTTER is stored for a long time
    deterioration may occur.
    (8) When disposing QUI CUTTER where possible react the QUI CUTTER to be
    disposed of with water first as heat would be generated in the process and
    then dispose it.

    Safety Instructions
    (1)Do not use QUI CUTTER for purposes other than described in the brochure.
    (2) If any content of QUI CUTTER gets into eye, rinse it off with clean water
    immediately and consult a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor should be
    informed of the main component of QUI CUTTER which is calcium oxide, an
    alkaline product (pH=12～13).
    (3) If any content of QUI CUTTER comes in contact with skin, rinse it off with clean
    water to avoid skin irritation.
    (4) Do not break QUI CUTTER and do not put its content into any pipe or container
    such as glass or can which contains water or other liquid. Expansive stress
    caused by the reaction of the content and water or liquid will break the pipe or
    container and pieces of broken parts may scatter.
